The Algorand Foundation has officially unveiled a roadmap for transitioning the network to "broad quantum resilience." The key goal is to complete the large-scale migration by the end of 2027, with the first protocol updates starting as early as the third quarter of 2026. This is not just a planned upgrade but a recognized necessity: as recent research by Google Quantum AI shows, quantum computers capable of breaking elliptic curve cryptography may emerge sooner than expected and with lower computational costs...
