'Today we are happy to announce the first step in advancing quantum resistance for the Signal Protocol: an upgrade to the X3DH specification which we are calling PQXDH. With this upgrade, we are adding a layer of protection against the threat of a quantum computer being built in the future that is powerful enough to break current encryption standards.'

OK, cool, thanks for the disambiguation. So kinda actual protection, but at the same time lip service. I'll take that.

Also remember that this is only a layer of added protection. Work on this will continue. But this is more than what any other player in this market space currently offers.
