About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of quantum computing on cryptocurrency and digital security with experts from Algorand.

In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Steve Ferrigno, Cosimo Bassi, and Giulio Pizzini from Algorand to explore one of the biggest technological questions facing crypto, finance, and the digital world: Can crypto survive quantum computing? Quantum computers have the potential to break much of the cryptography that protects today’s financial systems, telecommunications, blockchains, and digital infrastructure. While this may sound like a distant problem, the reality is that the world is already preparing for a post-quantum future. In this conversation, we break down what quantum computing actually is, why it could threaten current cryptographic systems, and how Algorand is approaching the challenge through post-quantum research, Falcon signatures, state proofs, account abstraction, and its broader roadmap toward quantum resistance. We also discuss why this is not only a crypto problem, but a global security issue affecting banks, governments, telecommunications, online payments, and potentially the future of AI agents operating on blockchain networks. This is a deep but accessible conversation about the future of digital security, blockchain infrastructure…
