Algorand rose about 13% in 24 hours to $0.12 after a Google research paper cited the network's real-world deployment of post-quantum protocols. CoinGecko data shows Algorand is up more than 44% over the past week. Google's March 31 paper identified Algorand as an example of post-quantum cryptography on an otherwise quantum-vulnerable blockchain. Analysts linked the move to renewed focus on quantum-computing risk.
