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.
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. 👇
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.
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You can't build the new financial system on outdated cryptography.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.
I’ll be live on @therollupco podcast tomorrow at 2:30 PM ET to talk about quantum and what the October 22 OMB deadline means for banks and markets.
Tune in here: https://t.co/JQqOStEKdB
Algorand CEO William Herkelrath will be live on @therollupco on October 22 at 2:30 pm ET.
William will be discussing all things post-quantum, including the 10/22 OMB deadline to submit a post-quantum cryptography migration plan.
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 Chief Commercial Officer, Amar Odedra, will be speaking live on @FINTECHTVglobal at 7:05 am ET on October 20th.
Amar will speak on the future of Algorand, live from the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), on the Capital Markets Wall Street to MENA show.
Google just made one of the hardest parts of building a crypto-breaking quantum computer a lot easier.
We started moving Algorand to post-quantum signatures in 2022. 2.7M+ post-quantum transactions later, no chain has more.
Some magical progress towards "magic state" in quantum!
Our @GoogleQuantumAI team has demonstrated "magic state cultivation" on physical hardware for the first time. The result is a 40x error reduction on our Willow processor vs. previous methods, achieving a state-of-the-art 99.99% logical fidelity.
It's another step towards useful, error-corrected quantum computers to help solve the hardest problems. The result is published in Science today, watch the video below to see how it works
Since Google's flagship post-quantum cryptography paper, in which Algorand was mentioned 32 times, many blockchains mentioned have been stacking post-quantum transactions on-chain.
Let's see how they compare.

European banking giant UniCredit is advising on how water credits recorded on Algorand could reach capital markets.
Hypercube has mandated the bank for the launch of a European Water Credit Sandbox.
Each of its @wtrtoken credits is one verified cubic metre of water.
While many L1 and L2 networks plan to become fully quantum-resilient L1 networks, these are just plans.
Algorand has been putting in the work since 2022.
The first major L1 to protect its chain history with Falcon-secured State Proofs.
The first major L1 to execute a post-quantum transaction on mainnet.
Native Falcon-1024 accounts, and now over 1.5 million PQ-signed transactions.
Our plans aren't just plans; they're already live on-chain, and in 2027, Algorand will be quantum-resilient.
Talk is cheap; Algorand delivers.
Attention all node runners: please upgrade your node to v5.0.3 as soon as possible.
This patch fixes an issue with DNSSEC validation that prevents nodes from bootstrapping into the network when (re)started.
