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.
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 👇

NYC, next week 🗽
Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam will be on stage at @EBlockchainCon’s Digital Assets Forum, talking about building institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure - and why it should be quantum-secure now, not later.
In good company with BlackRock, Citi, Chainlink, Coinbase, and 100+ more.
Quantum computers could break the encryption most banks rely on today.
Algorand CEO @FinTechWilliam tells @YahooFinance why every system needs a PQ upgrade.
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.
New from Algorand CPO @wj_beaumont 👇
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. 👇
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.

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.
We've been saying it for years, and it's finally being acknowledged ahead of Q-Day.
Algorand is built for the post-quantum future.
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.
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.
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
