TRON Tests Quantum-Resistant Falcon-512 Signatures Ahead of Mainnet Vote

  • —Falcon-512 signatures activated on the Nile testnet on July 2, 2026 under TIP-899
  • —Falcon-512 signatures are 617–667 bytes versus 65 bytes for ECDSA
  • —Tests showed roughly 400 TPS with Falcon-512 and 173 TPS with ML-DSA-44
  • —Mainnet launch requires independent audits, governance vote and wallet updates
Why it matters: TRON could become one of the first major chains with quantum resistance, but larger signatures pressure throughput and stablecoin transfers.
