Ethlabs proposes to achieve quantum resistance and AI resistance for Ethereum by 2027

Ethlabs published an article on the Ethereum developer community forum, proposing to set 2027 as the target year for Ethereum to achieve post-quantum and post-AI capabilities, referring to this plan as "pqai27." The proposal argues that with the rapid enhancement of AI capabilities, the accelerated development of quantum computing, and the increased ability of AI models to discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale, Ethereum should prioritize strengthening the security of its underlying protocol to prepare for potential future cryptographic risks and cyberattacks.Ethlabs pointed out that the U.S. government has advanced its target date for addressing quantum risks from 2035 to 2030, while Google plans to achieve post-quantum capabilities by 2029. At the same time, AI is solving a large number of long-standing mathematical problems and can also discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale. Ethlabs believes that although there is currently no evidence that existing cryptographic primitives will definitely be broken by AI, the associated risks are difficult to predict accurately, making it necessary to advance security upgrades proactively.In terms of the technical roadmap, Ethlabs divides the goals into two phases: the first is "pqai-ready," which means the Ethereum consensus layer will achieve a post-quantum upgrade, allowing all users to have a path to migrate to post-quantum accounts; if existing cryptography fails prematurely, the network can still operate with reduced processing capacity. The second is "pqai-scaled," which means supporting post-quantum transactions and data availability under full network capacity, aiming for post-quantum transactions to reach the processing scale of ordinary transactions, including post-quantum signature aggregation and post-quantum data availability solutions.To achieve this goal, Ethlabs suggests reassessing the scope of the upcoming hard fork Hegotá, reconsidering upgrades that do not belong to the critical path of pqai27. Among them, Frames and related post-quantum account proposals are still regarded as key components; FOCIL needs to be reassessed for its impact on upgrade progress and post-quantum compatibility. Additionally, Ethereum needs to choose between the post-quantum transformation of the existing Gasper consensus protocol and transitioning to a decoupled consensus. Ethlabs stated that to concentrate resources on advancing pqai27, it will withdraw the Quick Slots feature previously sought for Hegotá and plans to continue promoting this feature in 2028. The Glamsterdam upgrade and its scaling plan will proceed as originally scheduled. This roadmap remains a suggestion proposed by Ethlabs and will require further discussion and determination by Ethereum core developers.

first_img AMD reveals its 2-nanometer server processor layout, aiming for mass production in 2027

AMD disclosed server processor and die interconnect layout at the In Depth technology forum. Venice uses TSMC's N2 process and CoWoS-L advanced packaging, and introduces elevated fan-out bridge (EFB). The subsequent Verano will adopt the N2P process. AMD's server architecture head Mahesh Subramony stated that as the number of computing cores increases, more data needs to be transmitted between dies, and EFB reduces power consumption and latency through short-distance interconnects. AMD expects the data center CPU market size to grow from approximately $26 billion in 2025 to about $220 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of over 50%.In terms of packaging collaboration, ASE and SPIL are involved in the development and validation of wafer-level 2.5D bridge interconnects, and AMD has completed panel-level EFB interconnect validation with Powertech. AMD announced in May 2026 that it will invest over $10 billion in the Taiwanese industrial ecosystem to expand strategic cooperation and advanced packaging capabilities. Regarding product progress, the Venice SP7 platform has been shipped, with the SP8 aimed at the enterprise market expected to be supplied in the first half of 2027, and Verano and Venice-X scheduled for release in the second half of the same year, with related server processor products targeted for mass production in 2027.

Bitcoin mining company MARA sold approximately 14,000 bitcoins after the season, bringing in 1.1 billion dollars

MARA Holdings (MARA), a Bitcoin mining company, disclosed in its third quarter report and shareholder letter submitted on November 9 that after the end of the third quarter, the company sold 13,597 Bitcoins at an average price of approximately $81,039, bringing in about $1.1 billion, and used $750 million of that to fully repay Bitcoin collateralized loans borrowed from Coinbase Credit and Two Prime, while also releasing 17,477 Bitcoins that were previously pledged. This sale accounted for about 40% of the company's holdings of 34,012 Bitcoins as of September 30.The shareholder letter stated that the aforementioned $750 million loan was borrowed on August 4, of which $600 million was new financing and $150 million was used to replace the original credit line, intended to fund the acquisition of Long Ridge. The company collateralized the loan when Bitcoin was priced at approximately $64,000 and later sold at the aforementioned average price, estimating a net gain of about $170 million from this transaction. After repayment, the proportion of borrowed or pledged Bitcoins fell to below 5%, with that ratio being approximately 57% at the end of the third quarter. The company also stated that it has reduced its debt by $1.4 billion since the beginning of 2026, equivalent to 37% of total debt.The shareholder letter also mentioned that it will continue to sell Bitcoins depending on market conditions to enhance financial flexibility, with proceeds potentially used for artificial intelligence infrastructure, convertible bond repurchases that can be exercised next year, and potential stock buybacks. In the first nine months of this year, MARA has sold approximately 26,984 Bitcoins, bringing in $1.9 billion.
