Quantum

Guillaume Girard of UTXO Management argues that while a quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin may never arrive, the network must prepare now because protocol changes move slowly, like a state legislature.

BIP-361 proposes migrating Bitcoin away from legacy cryptographic signatures to quantum-resistant alternatives through a phased deadline that could eventually make unmigrated coins permanently unspendable.

Bitcoin transactions could be resistant to quantum attacks without changing the network’s core rules, a new proposal contends.

Adam Back argues that quantum computing is still far from being capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptographic security.

Bernstein says quantum computing is a real threat to Bitcoin but not an emergency, arguing the industry likely has three to five years to upgrade to post-quantum security.

A new panel has officially been announced to take place at Bitcoin 2026 titled "How Real Is The Quantum Threat?" The conversation will bring...

Satoshi’s early vision for Bitcoin’s quantum recovery plan is being reexamined in 2026 as new Google research suggests the timeline for cryptographically relevant quantum computing may be closer than expected.

Google’s quantum research is accelerating fears that Bitcoin’s cryptography may face a real timeline — not a theoretical one — forcing the network to race toward quantum-resistant upgrades.

A recent report finds that quantum computing poses a genuine threat to Bitcoin, while efforts to safeguard the network are already underway.

BTQ Technologies has launched the first working BIP 360 implementation on its Bitcoin Quantum testnet, enabling developers to test quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions in practice.
