01

History and accounts

Algorand introduced Falcon-signed State Proofs in 2022. It reports native Falcon-1024 accounts live since August 2026. Certifying history and authorizing an account transaction are distinct operations.

02

The remaining surface

Consensus VRF and participation signatures still need migration. Classical accounts do not gain Falcon protection merely because the option exists. Track adoption and unfinished dependencies separately.

03

Keep the label precise

Falcon is NIST-selected; FIPS 206 remains in development. Neither selection nor deployment certifies a token or its returns.
