Summary
- The Algorand Foundation unveiled a roadmap to make its blockchain broadly quantum-resistant during 2027, with plans to introduce post-quantum accounts, multisignature wallets and staking support starting in 2026, before expanding protections to core protocol components.
- The announcement comes as crypto networks including Ethereum and Solana ramp up preparations for a future quantum-computing threat.
- Algorand notes that migrating live blockchain infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography will take years and must begin well before “Q-Day.”
