TRON Becomes First Major Blockchain to Deploy Post-Quantum Cryptographic Signatures on Mainnet

TRX1,53%
BTC0,52%
ETH0,38%

Gate News message, April 15 — Justin Sun announced on April 15 that TRON is launching a post-quantum upgrade initiative, aiming to become the first major public blockchain to deploy NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic signatures on its mainnet.

The upgrade addresses potential future threats from quantum computing. Most blockchains today rely on cryptographic algorithms such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which are currently secure but could be vulnerable to advanced quantum computers. According to analysts, quantum breakthroughs may occur within the next ten years, with early threats potentially emerging around 2029. TRON’s post-quantum standards are designed to resist quantum attacks.

In contrast, major networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum remain in research or debate stages regarding quantum-resistant upgrades. TRON’s move toward implementation positions it ahead of other large-scale blockchains in quantum preparedness.
