Stellar unveils its quantum defense plan
Stellar (@StellarOrg) just put a date on the quantum problem. Every account gets quantum-safe keys by the end of 2027, same address, no migration. Enterprise wallets can switch as early as this year.
Research the foundation (@BuildOnStellar) cites suggests that cracking Stellar's cryptography needs far fewer qubits than previously thought, and NIST has pulled its danger zone forward to 2029.
The last stage is the big one: a future cutoff where old keys stop working entirely. Dormant accounts could be locked forever.
Google Quantum AI just published a landmark paper on quantum threats to every major blockchain.
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, no blockchain receives more coverage than Algorand, cited for live post-quantum deployments across signatures, state proofs, key rotation, and smart contracts.
The alarm has been sounded. @Algorand has been answering it for years.
RESERVE UPDATE
Today, the Chainlink Reserve has accumulated 89,079.05 LINK.
The Chainlink Reserve now holds a total of 973,752.70 LINK.

🔥 Sergey Nazarov:"At this SIBOS I think it has become clear to everyone in the TradFi and DeFi community that the Chainlink Stack is the only system where you can get all of your digital asset challenges solved using a single standard."

The smartest (and maybe the funniest) person I know. A true OG in crypto with the conviction and vision to see what others couldn’t - you are a legend. Thank you David for everything you’ve done for the industry, for Ripple and for the XRP Ledger. We are all forever grateful… and in awe of your immense impact.
I’m not taking our weekly check-ins off the calendar though… and am glad you won’t be far as you join the Ripple board, continuing to impart your deep crypto wisdom and guidance on what we’re building. Wait...does this mean you’re my boss now!?!
"Once Swift has a reliable ... standardized way to interact with chains through the Chainlink set of standards, then that'll trigger mass adoption."
At Sibos, @SergeyNazarov joins @globalcustodian to discuss establishing a standardized connection between Swift and blockchains, the evolution of Chainlink's collaboration with Swift, and the recent announcement of the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard.
