Justin Sun said at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong on August 27 that TRON plans to finish a network-wide quantum-resistant upgrade by the end of 2026, later than his April outline of Q2 testnet work and Q3 mainnet deployment. TRON has spent more than a year on post-quantum work, enabled post-quantum signatures on the Nile testnet in July—including FN-DSA-512 and cited ML-DSA-44 coverage of transactions, blocks, peer handshakes and TRON Virtual Machine verification—and still faces gaps such as gas-free transfers, BIP-39 recovery and Ledger support before a full mainnet cutover. Sun stressed the issue is prep time, not an attack that works today, and said Bitcoin may need longer to align miners, exchanges and other parties; broader coverage also notes Bitcoin BIPs 360 and 361 under discussion, Ethereum’s 2029-oriented post-quantum team, Solana research such as the Winternitz Vault, and TRX near $0.34 with heavy USDT rails on TRON.
