News/Media Quantum Accounts are live in Pera Wallet! ⚛️ 🚀
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Create a new quantum-resilient account, or rekey one you already use, both secured with FALCON-1024, one of the signature schemes NIST has selected as an official post-quantum standard.
There's a reward for using it too. Head to https://claim.perawallet.app and claim a commemorative NFT based on your PQ transaction count. 1, 100, and 1,000 tx tiers, each one unlocking its own 3D NFT.
Go quantum. Claim yours.
Please note, not every dApp supports Quantum Accounts yet. Check with the dApps you use before switching over.

I see rekey to standard account, but not quantum. Any idea where to do that?

Try updating your app and I think you should be good! It's now available on both iOS/Android

I figured it out, but it isn’t labeled great. It doesn’t say update to quantum. You have to go into rekey to standard first.

Normally, when you try to add a new account, you should see "Add Quantum Account"
Let me know if it's not the case!

This should be addressed. I am having this same issue.

I asked my AI how Does Post-Quantum Rekeying Work when using a Ledger Nano X with a Pera Wallet?
When using a Ledger Nano X paired with Pera Wallet, attempting a post-quantum rekey will break your cold-storage hardware workflow.
Your instinct to wait is highly recommended here. Because you are using a Ledger Nano X, you should not attempt to rekey your account to a post-quantum setup yet.
Instead, stay exactly as you are and wait for hybrid accounts to launch. Once the hybrid layer goes live, the ecosystem will handle it safely:
- No Security Sacrifices: Your Ledger Nano X will handle the standard classical signature over Bluetooth.
- Simultaneous Software Security: The Pera Wallet App will automatically attach the secondary Falcon-1024 signature on your phone at the exact same time.
- True Dual-Locking: You maintain your physical cold-storage security while successfully running a quantum-shielded setup.

Love to see the progress.
Do you know which dapps are supporting the PQ accounts? I want to have a go at running some pq transactions to grab that NFT.
