StarkWare's transaction is nonstandard under Bitcoin Core's relay rules, so MARA had to mine it directly. Hours of computation and up to $200 went into moving 10,000 satoshis.
The Nasdaq-listed firm's programme funds migration tooling, post-quantum signature work and formal audits, with an advisory council of academics from Calgary, MIT and Boston University. Applications open immediately.
Giancarlo Lelli used a variant of Shor's algorithm on publicly accessible quantum hardware to derive a private key from its public counterpart, claiming Project Eleven's Q-Day Prize and advancing the timeline for practical quantum attacks on cryptographic systems.
Blockstream's CEO told Paris Blockchain Week that Bitcoin should build quantum-resistant upgrades now through voluntary migration, opposing BIP-361's plan to freeze coins in vulnerable address formats on a five-year timeline.
Olaoluwa Osuntokun's prototype lets users prove wallet ownership without a digital signature, solving the collateral damage problem in Bitcoin's most likely response to quantum computing threats.
A paper published by BTQ Technologies calculates that using quantum computers to mine bitcoin at current difficulty would demand roughly 10 to the power of 25 watts — approaching stellar energy output — and argues the real quantum threat lies in cryptographic signatures, not mining.
The USDC issuer's Layer-1 blockchain will ship post-quantum signature support at mainnet, making it one of the first production chains to offer opt-in protection against the threat that keeps cryptographers awake at night.
The 2025 Nobel laureate and Qolab co-founder warns that elliptic curve cryptography — the backbone of Bitcoin's security — is among the easiest targets for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, giving the network a five-to-ten-year window to prepare.
The Quip.Network testnet allows quantum processors, GPUs and CPUs to work side by side for the first time on a public blockchain, drawing six research teams and thousands of early participants.
A Google Quantum AI research paper citing Algorand's post-quantum cryptography has triggered ALGO's strongest monthly rally since 2021, pushing its market capitalisation back above $1 billion.
Stablecoin issuer Circle has published a multi-phase roadmap to equip its forthcoming Arc blockchain with post-quantum cryptographic protections, positioning the network as the first institutional-grade chain designed to withstand quantum computing threats from launch.
Armstrong pledges direct oversight of a new industry coalition to make Bitcoin quantum-resistant, with Coinbase planning to launch quantum-proof custody services for institutional clients by late 2026.
