Key Takeaways

  • Sui plans two NIST-standardized post-quantum signature systems for different types of accounts.
  • Existing users should be able to switch to a quantum-safe signer without moving assets to a new address.
  • The same recovery phrase can generate the new key through a separate derivation path.
  • Post-quantum signatures are substantially larger, increasing transaction data requirements.
  • The upgrade is still being audited and tested; Sui is not fully quantum-resistant today.

Sui has outlined how it plans to introduce post-quantum signatures without forcing users through one of the most difficult parts of a blockchain security upgrade: moving everything they own to a new account.
