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 re 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.

After the Binance hack, @Ledger's CEO said everybody will be hacked at some point
But will Bitcoin?
@Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam joined us to talk quantum-proofing $BTC — and why it's harder than people think:
"It's not something you can do in a few weeks" 👀 ⬇️

Fast settlement only helps if both sides of the trade are ready.
William Herkelrath (@FinTechWilliam), CEO of @Algorand, joins DAF New York to discuss the infrastructure institutions need to trade and settle digital assets.
Meet William on November 13 and compare notes on what ore institutions can move from a pilot to a live market.

Great to see more dApps in the Algorand ecosystem bringing post-quantum to users! 🔐
@haydotapp now lets users create a post-quantum Algorand account and sign transactions with Falcon-1024, all with just a passkey.
Awesome work by the team! 👏

Haystack Login now uses post-quantum passkeys.
Create an account with a passkey from your device or password manager, and you get an Algorand account that signs with Falcon-1024, the post-quantum signature scheme Algorand added in August.

Quantum resilience is more than adopting post-quantum cryptography today; it means being able to adapt as cryptographic standards evolve.
Our CPO, @wj_beaumont, explains how we're building crypto agility into Algorand's protocol to make that possible 👇

Technical debt slows you down. Security debt takes you down.
Quantum computers may be able to break today’s cryptography by 2029. But the date that matters more is 2029 minus your migration time. For most organizations, the answer is years.

Post-quantum security isn’t a future problem when the assets you issue today need to stay secure for decades.
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. 👇

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.
