Algorand leads layer-1 blockchains with live post-quantum cryptography, boosting ALGO price 50%.

A Coinbase Quantum Advisory Board report named Algorand and Aptos as the top layer-1 blockchains prepared for quantum computing threats, highlighting Algorand's live deployment of post-quantum Falcon-1024 signatures on its mainnet since November 2025. Algorand's ledger history and user transactions are quantum-secured, but its consensus layer still uses classical cryptography, leaving full quantum resistance incomplete. The network's cryptographic agility allows future upgrades to close this gap. The growing confidence in Algorand's quantum readiness contributed to a roughly 50% price rally in early April after Google’s Quantum AI paper cited Algorand extensively. Full consensus upgrades are expected in 2026 or 2027 to achieve complete quantum resistance.
