Algorand releases anti-quantum upgrade roadmap with the goal of 2027-2028 to achieve full-chain quantum security

Comparatively, according to Coindesk, the Algorand Foundation released an anti-quantum upgrade roadmap. It plans to launch a series of protocol reforms in 2026 and achieve the overall “quantum security” capabilities of the network from the end of 2027 to 2028 to deal with the potential threat of future quantum computing to existing cryptographic systems.

The roadmap shows that the first phase will introduce a post-quantum account system, multi-signature wallet, and pledge support, and the core protocol components will be gradually upgraded in the future to achieve a comprehensive encryption migration from the wallet layer to infrastructure. According to reports, several public chain ecosystems, including the Ethereum Foundation and Solana, have also initiated similar anti-quantum cryptography research and migration plans.
