Quantum Risk and Blockchains: Avoiding Asset Rankings, Planning Crypto Agility
Post-quantum migration is a real engineering topic. It does not justify unsupported claims that one blockchain or wallet is already quantum-safe or that a timeline is known.

- NIST: Post-Quantum Cryptography project opens in a new tab
Supports: NIST finalized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA standards in 2024 and recommends organizations begin planning migration to quantum-resistant cryptography.
- NIST: First finalized post-quantum standards opens in a new tab
Supports: The standards cover key establishment and digital signatures; adopting them in a blockchain requires protocol, wallet, address, signature, and migration design work.
- XRPL documentation: Regular Key Pair opens in a new tab
Supports: XRPL regular keys can be replaced as a proactive key-rotation measure, but that operational feature is not by itself a post-quantum signature upgrade.
