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...

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

1/ Starknet was built with quantum risk in mind from day one. STARKs are post-quantum resistant by nature. Native Account Abstraction makes wallets upgradeable by design. Post-quantum wallets are already possible on Starknet. And the remaining pieces require relatively little additional work from our side. In short, quantum computing is not a threat to Starknet’s future. If anything, it plays to Starknet’s strengths.

🌐 Inside Algorand’s Biggest Updates: Liquid Auth, Payments, Post-Quantum and More We sat down with Pera to break down some of the most important developments happening inside the Algorand ecosystem right now. Here are the standouts: • Liquid Auth is Now Live A fully decentralized, passkey-based login that removes centralized choke points like WalletConnect. Built on Web2 standards, interoperable on day one, and designed for a future where apps, games, and Web3 accounts work seamlessly. • Real Progress on Payments USDC inflows and outflows are getting easier than ever. New partnerships are turning Para into a true finance app, not just a wallet. Bank accounts, direct deposits, remittances, and on-chain settlement blended into one experience. • Cross-Chain USDC and Swaps Allbridge, Exaswap, bridges, and credit-card on-ramps. Algorand is removing friction that stops most people from ever becoming active users. • Post-Quantum Infrastructure Falcon signatures, quantum-safe state proofs, and only one major component (VRF) left before the chain is fully post-quantum. Meanwhile, many networks are just beginning to think about this. • AI Agents, X402, and Machine-to-Machine Payments Early but real. Exactly where decentralized networks need to be heading. Algorand is working towards abstracting crypto and eliminating complexity, a world where people don’t even realize they’re using blockchain. It just works. Podcast powered by Algorand Foundation

Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: Bankless (Mar 2026)

🎙️ The latest episode of Quantum Matters is live! This week, we explore how quantum computing is being integrated with blockchain, and what it could mean for the future of both technologies. Listen or watch here: Host Murray Thom sits down with Dr. Richard Carback and Colton Dillion, co-founders of Postquant Labs, to discuss their work developing the Quip Network, a quantum-classical blockchain network, which is now publicly available in testnet with over 18,500 users and 1,600 nodes. Learn how the testnet uses D-Wave’s Advantage2™ annealing quantum computers to tackle complex optimization problems and explore quantum computing’s potential to make blockchain more energy efficient. Early results are impressive, with the Advantage2 system outperforming classical approaches and winning the majority of blocks. #QuantumComputing #QuantumMatters #blockchain

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

ALGORAND QUIETLY HOSTS $294M IN TOKENIZED RWAS Algorand is now hosting roughly $294M in tokenized real-world assets, with Lofty's tokenized real estate platform leading the charge after crossing $99M TVL and $4M in rent payouts to onchain holders. The institutional layer is filling in alongside it. Midas-issued tokenized US Treasuries, VersaBank's USDVB pilot, and HesabPay (the world's largest UN-supported humanitarian payments program on a public blockchain) all run on $ALGO rails. Combined with post-quantum Falcon signatures live on mainnet, an SEC-CFTC digital commodity classification, and AlgoKit 4.0 incoming, $ALGO's RWA stack is one of the most complete in crypto and almost no one is talking about it.
