# Algorand Says Mainnet Has Passed More Than 2.7 Million Post-Quantum Transactions By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/34563 Published: 2026-10-19T02:09:53.000Z Updated: 2026-10-19T02:09:53.000Z Section: Technology > Native Falcon-1024 accounts went live in Aug. 2026. Algorand’s roadmap targets broader quantum resilience by the end of 2027. Algorand said Saturday, Oct. 17, that its mainnet had processed more than 2.7 million transactions with post-quantum signatures, while parts of consensus still rely on classical cryptography as the network works toward broader quantum resilience. The count refers to transactions signed with post-quantum technology. Algorand had reported crossing 1 million such transactions on Sept. 17, with commemorative Falcon-signed NFTs accounting for a significant share of that earlier activity. Native Falcon-1024 accounts went live on Algorand’s mainnet in Aug. 2026, allowing users to authorize transactions with post-quantum signatures. The feature is supported through SDKs, AlgoKit and Pera Wallet. Falcon-1024 is the only post-quantum scheme currently enabled for this account feature. Algorand also uses Falcon signatures for State Proofs, introduced in 2022 to attest to ledger state every 256 rounds. Those proofs serve a different purpose from signatures that authorize transactions from user accounts. Consensus remains a separate area of work. Its verifiable random function relies on elliptic-curve cryptography, and consensus signing operations use Ed25519. The transaction count therefore reflects use of account signing, not post-quantum protection across every part of the network. Algorand’s [security roadmap]() targets broader quantum resilience by the end of 2027. It includes post-quantum multisignature support and research into protections for consensus. ## Links in this article - [security roadmap](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/29249)
