The XRP Ledger Foundation’s protocol roadmap proposes studying quantum-resistant account options, including ML-DSA-44, and a possible migration path, with work contemplated across 2027 and 2028. This is a research direction, not an active network-wide upgrade: quantum-resistant accounts have not been activated for all XRP holders, and no final migration process has been agreed.
The roadmap’s milestones are targets subject to research, engineering and community governance; proposals could be revised, delayed or rejected. A transition would also have to account for transaction size, verification costs, hardware and application compatibility, and holders who rarely use the network. The source describes a threat from sufficiently capable future quantum computers, not evidence that machines today can drain conventional blockchain wallets at scale.
