Q: Going post-quantum means creating a new wallet and moving all your assets, right? A: Not on Algorand. Thanks to Algorand's rekeying feature, existing accounts can adopt native Falcon-1024 signing without changing their public address or transferring a single asset. Your assets stay exactly where they are, your transaction history remains intact, and only the signing authority changes. All of this is built directly into Algorand's protocol, not through some workaround. And with 2,000+ native PQ accounts having already signed transactions on mainnet, we're way past the promise stage.

NYC, next week 🗽 Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam will be on stage at @EBlockchainCon’s Digital Assets Forum, talking about building institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure - and why it should be quantum-secure now, not later. In good company with BlackRock, Citi, Chainlink, Coinbase, and 100+ more.

Ghosts can’t break your encryption. Quantum computers might. Happy Halloween from the network with 3.5M post-quantum transactions and counting… 🎃

Quantum computers could break the encryption most banks rely on today. Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam tells @YahooFinance why every system needs a PQ upgrade.

Technical debt slows you down. Security debt takes you down. Quantum computers may be able to break today’s cryptography by 2029. But the date that matters more is 2029 minus your migration time. For most organizations, the answer is years. New from Algorand CPO @wj_beaumont 👇

Post-quantum security isn’t a future problem when the assets you issue today need to stay secure for decades.
A 10-year bond issued on-chain today needs to remain secure until 2036. That's why post-quantum security matters today, not tomorrow. On @FINTECHTVglobal, our CCO @AmarOdedra explained why Algorand has been preparing for the quantum era since 2022. 👇

Banks are tokenizing assets that could sit on-chain for decades, on blockchains secured by cryptography that a quantum computer could one day break. You can't build the new financial system on outdated cryptography. Read the latest blog from our CEO, William Herkelrath 👇

Unplanned downtime costs the world's 2,000 largest companies $600 billion a year, according to Splunk. On Algorand, you can protect your business from quantum threats on a network that hasn't gone down once since 2019. Even our post-quantum upgrade shipped with zero downtime.

We've been saying it for years, and it's finally being acknowledged ahead of Q-Day. Algorand is built for the post-quantum future.
On the most aggressive timelines, quantum computers could crack old Bitcoin wallets within this cycle. Only two blockchains running today are built to be quantum-resistant: Quantus and Algorand. A big story with so few coins is what makes this narrative asymmetric.

Algorand is now officially #1 in post-quantum across the entire industry 🥇 Over 2.7 MILLION post-quantum transactions on mainnet, more than any other blockchain on the planet. Others are still talking about the quantum threat. We've been shipping since 2022, and nobody has caught us.
