The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.

At ETH Denver, developers warned that advances in quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin’s digital signatures as the industry continues to debate how to prepare.

The rise of quantum computing and its implications for current encryption standards are well known. But why exactly should quantum computers be especially adept at breaking encryption? The answer is a ...

Bitcoin is running out of time to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Upgrading too early or too late could have disastrous ...

BIP-360 co-author Ethan Heilman says that making Bitcoin quantum-secure could take 7 years. Recent breakthroughs suggest time is running out.

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

In cybersecurity, few threats are as paradoxical and pressing as the ones posed by quantum computing. Quantum computers differ fundamentally from today’s classical machines—a distinction that gives ...

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...
