The XRP Ledger Foundation has detailed plans to let users protect accounts with quantum-resistant cryptography while keeping transaction fees at current levels. Account holders would add a new signing key based on the ML-DSA-44 standard approved by NIST in 2024, then turn off their existing key to block future attacks from quantum computers. The change addresses a known vulnerability where on-chain signatures expose public keys that powerful quantum machines could exploit.

Development and security audits are scheduled through 2027 and possibly 2028, with a budget of up to $255,000. The protected transactions will carry larger signatures that increase storage requirements by roughly three times, but network operators will cover those costs rather than passing them to users.
