Algorand announces roadmap to achieve quantum resistance by 2028 BlockBeats News: On June 18th, the Algorand Foundation announced a roadmap to make its blockchain resistant to quantum attacks by the end of next year. This roadmap outlines a series of upgrades starting from 2026, including the introduction of post quantum accounts, multi signature wallets, and staking support. The subsequent stages will focus on more fundamental components of the network. The foundation stated that its roadmap builds upon the work launched in 2022 and extends these efforts to other parts of the protocol, with the goal of achieving the broad quantum elasticity described by Algorand by the end of 2027. The foundation stated that it expects to reach this milestone before NIST abandons certain traditional encryption standards, and three years ahead of the timeline set by the National Security Agency for the national security system.
