Here is a list of all pools - https://miningpoolstats.stream/tidecoin
My question is - do need special addresses to ensure quantum security?
Is tidecoin currently quantum secure or will it be added in the future?

In order to be quantum secure, blockchain needs to use PQC signature scheme from genesis.

Any crypto which isn't using QR signature scheme from genesis is not quantum resistant as old addresses needs to be migrated manually by users or burned, to prevent lost coins being stolen and dumped.

Tidecoin uses from genesis Falcon 512, NIST finalist for PQC competition.
Falcon is both stateless and of compact size, which makes it excellent choice for blockchains.
