Algorand's mainnet has processed over 2.7 million transactions signed with post-quantum cryptography, a significant step toward enhancing blockchain security against future quantum threats. The network introduced native Falcon-1024 accounts in August 2026, enabling users to authorize transactions with post-quantum signatures, supported by SDKs, AlgoKit, and Pera Wallet. While transaction signing uses post-quantum technology, consensus mechanisms still rely on classical cryptography, with a roadmap targeting full quantum resilience by the end of 2027, including post-quantum multisignature support and consensus protection research.
