The XRP Ledger is entering a phase where long-term infrastructure priorities are starting to take center stage.
As the XRP Ledger builds quantum readiness in a multi-phase approach alongside security, tokenization, and agentic workflows, RippleX head of engineering J. A. Akinyele explains why this critical infrastructure can't afford to wait.
Q-Day is coming and most chains aren't prepared.

In a 2.13-minute video clip posted by the official RippleX social media account, Akinyele mentioned that the entire industry has recognized that Q-day is no longer uncertain but that it is coming. This follows recent findings that a sufficiently advanced quantum computer could break today's cryptographic infrastructure.

Akinyele highlighted a proactive approach on the XRP Ledger with a multi-phase roadmap put together to prepare for a potential quantum attack. He noted that this might take the next few years (full quantum readiness targeted for 2028), given that it's not just a software upgrade but rather an "architectural transition of XRP."
Ripple's next big focus?
According to the RippleX top engineer, XRP's pathway to achieving quantum readiness is broken into three phases and a contingency plan phase.
The contingency plan phase is essentially a way to migrate accounts from their current state to a post-quantum safe variant in a way that makes it difficult for a hacker armed with a quantum computer to steal assets.

Akinyele explains the three phases of achieving quantum readiness to be: the first phase will involve experimenting with standardized signatures that work in a post-quantum era and making decisions about which one of those signatures is appropriate for the XRPL.
The second phase is the execution based on the selected signature and integrating it into the ledger and proving that it meets the requirements of the XRPL in terms of reliability, security and decentralization. The third phase is the migration of the ecosystem and that requires collaboration of key players. Upon the conclusion of the third phase, feedback will be taken and the innovation will be subsequently iterated.
Given that XRPL already has the building blocks in place that support this forward migration, this is expected to make upgrades easier over time.
