Algorand ALGO
A classical Algorand address is the 32-byte Ed25519 public key itself with a 4-byte checksum, base32 encoded, so the key is public from the moment an account is funded and never hidden. Exposure is therefore total by construction for Ed25519 accounts; only accounts whose authoriser is a Falcon key (via rekey or a native Falcon account) are not exposed.
Live. Two paths exist. (1) Falcon LogicSig accounts: the AVM gained a falcon_verify opcode and the first post-quantum transaction on MainNet was executed on 3 November 2025 (Falcon-1024, about 1,280-byte signatures, about 1,793-byte public keys); an existing account can rekey to a Falcon-controlled LogicSig authoriser and keep its address (Algorand Post-Quantum Ledger, 14 May 2026). (2) Native Falcon-1024 accounts: delivered in the v5.0.0 protocol upgrade, which passed the approval threshold on 15 August 2026 and activated on MainNet after the mandatory 208,000-round (about 7 day) cooldown; Falcon-1024 accounts no longer need a LogicSig wrapper, derive from the usual 25-word mnemonic, and are supported by the SDKs, AlgoKit and Pera Wallet. Falcon-512 support is planned for end of 2026, multi-scheme multisig for end of 2026, and the Foundation targets broad quantum resilience by end of 2027.
Algorand, measured by PQ Radar live scan
147,487 accounts above 1,000 ALGO, round 65,131,834, 2026-09-17 13:48 UTCScan of every account holding more than 1,000 ALGO; smaller accounts are not classified. Shares are of all scanned ALGO, including Unknown and Contract, so Exposed plus Quantum-safe does not sum to 100%. USD is that ALGO at the current price, not a share of market cap. Status is the key type of the last signed transaction. Never-signed and idle rekeyed accounts read Unknown. Balances are read over a scan of several minutes.
