Сообщение ChainCatcher, официальный документ Фонда Algorand о дорожной карте по противодействию квантовым угрозам, планирует запустить серию преобразований протоколов в 2026 году и достичь общей "квантовой безопасности" сети к концу 2027 года и 2028 году, чтобы противостоять потенциальным угрозам существующим криптосистемам со стороны будущих квантовых вычислений.Дорожная карта показывает, что на первом этапе будет введена система аккаунтов после квантовых вычислений, мультиподписные кошельки и поддержка стейкинга, а затем постепенно будут обновлены основные компоненты протокола, что обеспечит полную криптографическую миграцию от уровня кошелька до инфраструктуры. Известно, что в настоящее время такие организации, как Фонд Ethereum и Solana, также начали аналогичные исследования и планы миграции в области квантовой криптографии.

According to the Wall Street Journal, algorithm development company MicroAlgo Inc. announced the launch of a blockchain architecture based on quantum technology, which enhances transaction security and transparency by integrating quantum secure channels (QSC) and quantum key distribution (QKD).The architecture features a four-layer design, including a quantum communication layer, a blockchain core layer, a smart contract layer, and an application layer. Among these, QKD is used to achieve high-security key generation and distribution, while quantum encryption protects transaction data from theft and tampering, and also possesses resistance to quantum computing attacks.Additionally, the system strengthens long-term security through periodic key rotation and a quantum signature mechanism, and combines distributed ledger technology with a consensus mechanism to ensure data immutability and transaction verifiability, achieving a balance between security and transparency. However, the company also pointed out that there are still challenges regarding the maturity and commercialization of quantum technology, and large-scale implementation will take time.

RealGo announced that it has completed over $3.5 million in financing, with support from institutions and strategic partners such as Animoca Brands, Cogitent Ventures, X21 Digital, Notch VC, and Becker Ventures in the early investment round and strategic round.RealGo stated that it will use this funding to advance the infrastructure related to Meme 3, promoting the evolution of memes from mere trending topics to asset forms that can be captured, collected, battled, socialized, monetized, and truly owned by users.

Sonic elaborates on its technological path towards the "post-quantum era," pointing out that most current PoS public chains rely on elliptic curve signatures (such as ECDSA, Ed25519), which are at risk of being cracked once quantum computing (like Shor's algorithm) matures.Sonic states that the industry is exploring post-quantum cryptographic solutions (such as hash-based XMSS, SPHINCS+, and lattice-based Dilithium, Falcon), but mainstream consensus mechanisms generally rely on BLS aggregate signatures and threshold signatures, making the transition to post-quantum systems face challenges in performance, bandwidth, and architectural reconstruction. In contrast, Sonic's SonicCS consensus protocol does not rely on aggregate signatures or global randomness, but instead uses single-node signatures and hash functions to construct a DAG structure. Therefore, when switching to post-quantum cryptography, only the signature algorithm needs to be replaced to complete the upgrade, without the need to adjust the consensus logic or network structure. Sonic emphasizes that this design will significantly reduce the complexity of future migrations to post-quantum security, enabling the network to have stronger adaptability when quantum computing threats arise.

Zhao Changpeng posted on platform X that cryptocurrencies only need to upgrade to post-quantum algorithms to cope with the impact of quantum computing, and there is no need to panic.In terms of practical execution, there are difficulties in upgrading organizations in a decentralized environment, and the choice of algorithms may spark debates and lead to forks. Some projects that have stopped development may not undergo upgrades, which helps to clean up such projects. In the short term, new code may introduce vulnerabilities or security issues, and users who self-custody cryptocurrencies need to migrate their assets to new wallets.Regarding the Bitcoin held by Satoshi, if the assets move, it means he is still active; if they have not moved within a specific timeframe, the relevant addresses should be locked or destroyed to prevent being hacked. Fundamentally, encryption is easier than decryption, and more powerful computing capabilities have positive implications. Cryptocurrencies will continue to exist even after the quantum era.

X platform product head Nikita Bier stated that X will officially launch the complete algorithm recommendation feature based on Grok next week, and has characterized it as the "most significant change" the X platform has made to date.

Musk stated that the X platform will release a major artificial intelligence algorithm update next week and plans to open source it simultaneously.

The Algorand Foundation and Algorand Technologies announced an agreement to integrate the intellectual property of Algorand Technologies and the development and support activities of the Algorand protocol into the Algorand Foundation.In addition, to support the resource needs of Algorand Technologies, Silvio Micali, and the Algorand Foundation in ensuring the ongoing maintenance and support of the Algorand protocol, the Algorand Foundation will commit to investing at least $15 million for the technical maintenance, enhancement, and support of the Algorand protocol.

According to The Block, the Algorand Foundation announced a 25% staff reduction on March 18, 2026. The foundation stated that this layoff is a measure to respond to global macroeconomic uncertainty and the overall downturn in the cryptocurrency market, and it is not a hasty decision. It is reported that the total number of employees at the foundation is less than 200.Currently, the foundation holds approximately $38 million in dollar-denominated assets and 1.1 million ALGO tokens, with ALGO having a market capitalization of about $805.8 million, ranking 78th globally. The foundation stated that it will continue to focus on the long-term development and ecosystem construction of the Algorand protocol. This layoff is a reflection of the recent wave of layoffs in the cryptocurrency industry, with several projects such as OP Labs, Messari, and Block also announcing layoffs recently.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that algorithmic stablecoins belong to true DeFi. He believes that if there are high-quality algorithmic stablecoins backed by ETH, even if the majority of liquidity is supported by CDP holders holding negative algorithmic dollars, the ability to transfer counterparty risk to market makers remains an important feature. Even if algorithmic stablecoins are backed by RWA, if they can ensure sufficient collateral in the event of a single RWA failure through over-collateralization and diversified allocation, it is also an effective improvement in risk characteristics for holders.He pointed out that the industry should develop in these directions and gradually move away from using the dollar as a pricing unit, shifting towards a more universal diversified index. Additionally, the current operation of depositing USDC into Aave does not fall under the aforementioned category.

According to CoinDesk, the Brazilian Congress's Science, Technology, and Innovation Committee has approved a bill report aimed at banning algorithmic stablecoins.The bill will prohibit the issuance or trading of stablecoins like USDe from Ethena and Frax, which maintain their value through algorithms rather than fully collateralized assets, requiring all stablecoins issued in Brazil to be fully backed by segregated reserve assets. The bill also raises transparency requirements and classifies the issuance of uncollateralized stablecoins as a new criminal offense, with violators facing up to eight years in prison. For stablecoins issued abroad (such as USDT and USDC), the new regulations require that only companies authorized to operate in Brazil can offer such assets, and exchanges are responsible for ensuring that their issuers comply with regulatory standards similar to those in Brazil, or else they must bear the related risk management responsibilities themselves. The bill still needs to be reviewed by Brazil's Finance and Taxation Committee and the Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship Committee before being submitted to the Senate to become formal law.

According to Cointelegraph, the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea has upgraded its virtual asset trading analysis intelligence system VISTA and introduced automated detection algorithms to combat improper cryptocurrency trading.The algorithm employs a sliding window grid search technique to automatically identify potential price manipulation ranges, reducing reliance on manual investigations. Performance testing has shown that the system has successfully detected all known manipulation periods and previously hard-to-detect abnormal ranges.The Financial Supervisory Service has allocated a budget of 170 million Korean won (approximately $116,000) for AI performance upgrades in 2026. Future plans include automatically identifying networks of colluding trading accounts, analyzing abnormal trading patterns of thousands of cryptocurrency assets, and tracking the sources of manipulated funds.

The Algorand Foundation announced on Wednesday that it will relocate its headquarters from Singapore back to the United States and form a new board of directors. This move follows the Jito Foundation's return to the U.S. from the Cayman Islands last week.Both organizations stated that the shift in U.S. cryptocurrency policy towards a more friendly approach was a key factor in their return. Algorand Foundation CEO Staci Warden said that this move aims to ensure U.S. leadership in next-generation financial infrastructure, focusing on instant global payments, the democratization of financial products, and enhancing economic resilience.This decision comes as the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on landmark cryptocurrency legislation. Jito Labs CEO previously pointed out that after President Trump took office, U.S. cryptocurrency policy underwent a 180-degree shift, creating a favorable environment for crypto companies to return.

According to CoinDesk, the quantum-resistant cryptography specialist BTQ Technologies (BTQ) recently announced a solution to protect the Bitcoin blockchain, called "Bitcoin Quantum," an open-source fork testnet that is said to be capable of addressing quantum challenges.Chris Tam, head of partnerships at BTQ, stated that Bitcoin Quantum is a publicly operable network where miners, developers, researchers, and users can stress-test against quantum transactions and reveal the trade-offs in actual operation before discussions about mainnet upgrades become urgent.The system includes a block explorer and mining pool, providing instant accessibility. Tam explained that in August 2024, the quantum-resistant algorithm known as "Dilithium" (officially named the Module-Lattice-based Digital Signature Algorithm ML-DSA) will be standardized in the United States, and this algorithm is the technology adopted by the Bitcoin Quantum network. This algorithm has not yet been widely applied in rapidly innovating fields like cryptocurrency, primarily due to its high operational costs.Compared to the digital signatures used every time information is sent to the blockchain or even when sending a WhatsApp message, the data size of quantum-resistant algorithms increases by at least 200 times. Therefore, while there are methods to address quantum risks, they also pose problems, mainly reflected in performance and cost overhead during large-scale deployment.
