Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron network, says Tron's post-quantum cryptography is now running on testnet. He announced it in a post on X on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Cointelegraph reported the news.
In the post, Sun said the team follows progress in quantum computing and AI closely. He also said Tron is prepared to add quantum resistance to its mainnet whenever it chooses. That makes the claim a statement of readiness. It does not mean the feature has launched on mainnet.
Several things are still unknown. Sun did not give a mainnet date, and the report does not name the cryptographic methods behind the testnet version. It also says nothing about how existing accounts or wallets would move over. For now, the only confirmed fact is that the feature is live on testnet.
For anyone already holding a TRX perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this news changes nothing directly. A testnet release does not touch funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on those exchanges. The report also contains no data on how traders reacted. Any effect would show up in the funding and fee numbers themselves, not in this announcement.
