Good news! Falcon doesn't need a large CPU or even a FPU, and even runs (experimentally) on Trezor HW Wallet!

Google Research’s new article on quantum risk in crypto is a strong signal: the move to PQC needs to start now, and #Algorand is leading. On a personal note, I was genuinely surprised to see @Algorand and my team in the paper. Proud. @giuliopizzini, @nullun, and Lakin!

They did their research on #algorand. Interesting they got the nuance on cross-chain integrations (through state-proofs) without the need to trust a set number of entities like other proof of stake systems.If technicals alone moved the "needle"... Ref: research.google/blog/safegua…
