Key facts
- Tron's post-quantum cryptography has been deployed on its testnet.
- Tron founder Justin Sun stated the network is ready to bring quantum resistance to mainnet at any time.
- AmericanFortress has developed a cryptographic plan to protect crypto wallets from quantum attacks without requiring users to move funds or change addresses.
- The proposal from AmericanFortress was published in a technical paper on the Cryptography ePrint Archive but has not yet been peer-reviewed.
Justin Sun, founder of the Tron network, announced that the blockchain's post-quantum cryptography has been deployed on its testnet. Sun stated that Tron is prepared to implement quantum resistance on its mainnet at any time, aiming to secure user assets against future quantum computing threats. This move positions Tron to be among the first major blockchains with quantum-resistant capabilities before "Q-Day," the anticipated date when quantum computers could break current security standards.
