@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert Great stuff! This content is incredibly valuable to anyone that wants to understand how these problems will be approached. Thanks to all of you for this lecture and I hope to see more of them including on different topics. 💪

@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert One nitpick. Even though VRF is safe, the consensus probably isn't because an attacker could, I think, steal coins and then register with new VRFs to vote with the stolen coins. It doesn't need to break existing VRFs, they can just generate new ones once they control the stake.

@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert Genuine question: is Algorand's PQC plan just a signature swap or a full primitive layer? $CELL uses modular multi-scheme at Layer 0, so you can swap or add schemes without forking. Thoughts? @cellframenet

@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert That's the oldies raping the $algo value for years, 🤣 disgusting. @Algorand got their "narrative"... unfortunately, it crashed together with $btc, unbelievable how this happened to a post quantum resistant coin who can protect the value but heavily dependant to something. Weird

@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert Roadmaps are fine but $CELL already runs Dilithium, Falcon, SPHINCS+ and Kyber-512 at the primitive level, not bolted on later. KelVPN and the DEX are live on testnet with quantum-safe bridges. @cellframenet

@marcvl @bmartins_ @ChrisPeikert the honest answer is that post-quantum cryptography isn't just a feature, it's a necessity for blockchains that aim to stay relevant. algorand's proactive approach looks like a smart bet in this case.

Today is World Quantum Day! A great reminder that quantum's impact on cryptography isn't theoretical, it's only a matter of time. To mark the occasion, CEO StaciW_DC sat down with world-renowned post-quantum cryptographer and Algorand CSO Chris Peikert to discuss the quantum threat to blockchain. Since 2022, Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience by securing its entire chain history with Falcon-signed State Proofs. In 2025, we took it further: the first quantum-resistant transaction protecting real digital assets was executed on mainnet. With Google now targeting 2029 for its own post-quantum migration, the urgency is clear. Algorand isn't waiting, we're already building for that future. Watch now! 👇

Crypto's quantum arms race is accelerating fast In the past two weeks alone: TRON DAO put post-quantum signatures on testnet, NEAR Protocol shipped quantum security in its 2.13 upgrade, and the $XRP Ledger advanced a five-part post-quantum roadmap. Zcash's Tachyon upgrade targets quantum readiness too, per CoinDesk Research. The industry isn't waiting for Q-Day to arrive before hardening its cryptography.

America is going (Q)uantum President Trump signs two quantum Executive Orders: 1. Protecting U.S. quantum research from foreign threats: Strengthens counterintelligence efforts (FBI and intelligence community) against espionage (e.g., by China). It also directs the Departments of Defense and Energy to build and host a quantum computer for scientific discovery and tasks Commerce with plans to expand federal investments in quantum companies. 2. Accelerating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration: Bolsters federal efforts to transition to quantum-resistant encryption standards to mitigate risks from future “Q-day” when powerful quantum computers could break current public-key cryptography.

An estimated $470 billion worth of Bitcoin is exposed to quantum attacks. Alex Shevchenko 🇺🇦 explains why NEAR Protocol was designed with cryptographic upgrades in mind and how the network recently introduced the first approved post-quantum cryptography primitive. • Users can now add post-quantum cryptography (PQC) keys to their NEAR accounts. • Those accounts can hold assets from multiple blockchains, providing additional protection for cross-chain assets. • This marks the first step in NEAR’s broader post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmap. • NEAR is the first blockchain to deliver support for approved PQC keys, with future upgrades planned for chain signatures and network consensus NEAR Intents

Quantum computers pose two threats to Bitcoin: Threat 1: A quantum computer will be built and used to break Bitcoin's cryptography. Threat 2: Even before a QC is built, delaying the preparations to ensure Bitcoin is quantum ready will lead to people losing confidence in Bitcoin. The solution to both threats: ensure Bitcoin becomes quantum resistant via initiatives like BIP 360 + make sure the world knows this will be taken care of in time.
