Ripple's engineers are focused on preparing the XRP Ledger for potential quantum attacks.
The $XRP Ledger is undergoing a multi-phase approach to build quantum readiness alongside security, tokenization, and agentic workflows.
J. A. Akinyele, RippleX head of engineering, emphasizes that this critical infrastructure can't afford to wait.
Akinyele points out that Q-day is no longer uncertain, but coming, with a sufficiently advanced quantum computer capable of breaking today's cryptographic infrastructure.
The XRP Ledger's pathway to achieving quantum readiness involves three phases and a contingency plan phase.
