Cost of quantum-safe Bitcoin transactions falls sharply, researchers say
Original: Quantum-safe Bitcoin spending drops 82% in cost as researchers battle to protect 6 million exposed coins StarkWare's opt
StarkWare researchers report that an optimization challenge cut the estimated computing cost of quantum-safe Bitcoin transactions by 82%, to about $59. The work is aimed at protecting roughly 6 million BTC held in addresses whose public keys are exposed and vulnerable to future quantum attacks. Researchers caution that significant technical hurdles remain before such protections can be applied at scale across the network.
Why now: Concerns about quantum computers threatening exposed Bitcoin holdings are driving interest in cheaper quantum-safe solutions.
