If you like #solana that's cool if you like #eth or #avax thats cool too. #cardano or #xrp great choices everywhere, but I have to say there has only been one Blockchain making silent progress while others are in the spotlight https://t.co/xfXeBWUUab #Crypto #InvestSmart

No. Algorand is ahead in actual PQS deployments.

They've used FALCON (NIST-standard lattice signatures) for state proofs securing chain history since 2022, ran the first mainnet PQ transaction in Nov 2025, and have experimental AVM support for PQ account verification.

Ethereum's PQ effort (via https://t.co/wRX7NIbCGk) has 8+ years of research, devnets, and a multi-year roadmap—but zero mainnet PQ signatures or accounts yet, with L1 upgrades eyed for ~2029.

Both are progressing, but Algorand has live code where it counts.

In 2025, Google announced its Agent Payments Protocol, the infrastructure layer for the next generation of AI-powered commerce.

Amongst the few blockchain partners selected: Algorand.

Tech doesn't matter until the world's biggest tech companies say so.

Reclaiming the yearly open & one of the strongest narratives in the market right now with Google citing it for it's quantum proof technology

Wouldn't be surprised if this doubles this month

@DHSgov @DHSgov try laying an unlawful hand on a US citizen (Texan) near their home and see how it ends. Your POS agents/officers will end up 5 ft under and then ask us if we give a shi if you try to murder/arrest us. You should be the ones scared

Algorand Just Went Quantum-Proof
⤷ (While Everyone Else Is Still Planning)

Yo, while other blockchains are still making Power Points about quantum threat, Algorand just executed the first post-quantum transaction on mainnet using NIST-approved Falcon signatures. Real money, live blockchain, quantum-proof rn

✦ Here's why this matters?

Quantum computers will eventually break all the crypto that blockchains use today, every signature, every transaction, every validator vote. Even Vitalik says there's a 20% chance this happens before 2030

The scary part? Bad actors are already recording encrypted data now to crack it later once quantum computers exist ("harvest now, decrypt later"). For blockchains designed to run for decades, waiting isn't an option

✦ What @Algorand Did?

They integrated Falcon signatures, a NIST-approved, quantum-resistant crypto that can't be broken by quantum computers. The signatures are bigger than normal (10x size) but verification is crazy fast (under 100 microseconds). Perfect for blockchains where you verify way more than you sign

The setup is clean, Falcon public keys live in smart contracts that verify signatures. These compile to regular Algorand addresses you can fund and use like any account. Plus they built CLI tools so you can actually use this stuff today, not "coming soon," but now

✦ What's Already Protected?
• User accounts (via Falcon logic signatures)
• State proofs (quantum-secure chain history)
• Historical data integrity

✦ What's Still Vulnerable?
• Consensus layer (needs deeper protocol work)
• Committee selection (still uses classical crypto)

So your personal bag can be quantum-proof today while they work on hardening the rest of the protocol

Think about this,

Right now you can generate quantum-resistant keypairs, create quantum-proof addresses, and send transactions that future quantum computers can't touch. While other chains are researching, Algorand shipped working code.

✦ Simple Workflow,
1/Generate Falcon keypair with their free CLI tool
2/ Derive a quantum-resistant Algorand address
3/Fund it like any normal account
4/Send quantum-proof transactions

Takes literally minutes. You're protecting real assets against future quantum threats today, not someday

Plus, wallet devs can integrate this now. Treasury teams can use it for multisigs. Anyone holding serious value can quantum-proof their accounts while the tech is still early

✦ So?

Stop waiting for quantum computers to become a problem. The solution is live,

Try It,
• Download the Falcon Signatures CLI (free, open-source)
• Generate your quantum-proof keypair
• Create and fund a quantum-resistant address
• Send your first post-quantum transaction

Everyone's talking about quantum resistance "eventually." Algorand shipped it. Working code, live network, real transactions you can do today.

Whether quantum computers break crypto in 5 years or 15, why wait? Future-proof your bag now while you're early

Get started rn, download the CLI and send your first quantum-proof transaction today.

Confidential. Quantum secure. On Algorand.

With falcon_verify and HermesVault’s zero-knowledge design, users can now create private, post-quantum-ready accounts.

Built through deep collaboration between @Algorand and @AlgoFoundation 🔐

[Alexa G.J. Carr @AlexaJaccarino]

Algorand has executed the first post-quantum transaction on its mainnet using NIST-selected Falcon signatures. This transaction demonstrates that quantum-resistant signatures can now protect real digital assets on a live public blockchain today.

...While some researchers argue practical quantum hardware remains decades away, others, including Ethereum co-founder @VitalikButerin, point to forecasts suggesting a 20% probability of cryptographically relevant quantum computers before 2030. While the timeline remains uncertain, the implication is clear: every system relying on classical public-key cryptography must adopt a post-quantum strategy well before quantum attacks become feasible.

Recently, #Algorand demonstrated that post-quantum security is no longer theoretical. The protocol team at @AlgoFoundation executed the first post-quantum transaction on Algorand using the Falcon signature scheme on the mainnet network. This transaction, secured by Falcon, a NIST-selected lattice-based signature scheme, shows that quantum-resistant signatures can protect real digital assets on a live public blockchain. While many teams are still outlining post-quantum roadmaps, Algorand has deployed working code, live infrastructure, and developer tooling that supports experimentation today.

@lgnstrwbrry @nicksortor Yes, Ghislaine Maxwell was charged with two counts of perjury in 2020 for allegedly lying in a 2016 deposition about Jeffrey Epstein's activities. The charges were separated from her main trial and dismissed in 2022 after her sex trafficking conviction.
