Ethereum Weekly Roundup #47: Quantum-Resistance Proposal, Gas Repricing and Tool Releases

Published on November 14, 2026, at 00:15 (UTC+8), Ethereal Weekly #47 collected Ethereum ecosystem updates as a link roundup. It described the urgency of quantum-resistant and AI-related work as reaching “DEFCON 2–3” and noted Ethlabs’ pqai27 proposal, which aims to complete quantum-resistant upgrades to both the execution and consensus layers in 2027. The roundup also reported that EIP-8198 quick slots had been withdrawn from the Hegotá upgrade.

For Glamsterdam, the roundup said conclusions on state-access gas repricing under EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 were due on November 16. That was a forthcoming date at the time of publication, not a result reported in the article. It also cited Vitalik’s view that ETH should place greater emphasis on storing value than on fee burning.

Other items covered Aave V3 Core collateral adjustments, a Phylax mainnet circuit breaker, releases of Fe 26.6.0 and Hardhat v3.22.0, and new ERC and EIP drafts. On client diversity, it listed Prysm at 37%, Lighthouse at 36% and Geth at 60%, alongside validator-count and staking data without figures in the supplied summary. It also flagged Lighthouse and Reth security updates, US Justice Department action against North Korean crypto theft, and FinCEN restrictions on MEXC.
