🚨 HISTORIC MILESTONE: FIRST ANTI QUANTUM BITCOIN TRANSACTION MINED ON MAINNET History was just made on the $BTC network. Researchers have successfully executed the first ever Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB) transaction directly on Mainnet, requiring zero soft forks, hard forks, or network consensus changes. Engineered by StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy and engineer Tomer Giladi, the transaction spent 10,000 satoshis and was confirmed in Block 964,199. The method replaces standard elliptic curve spending conditions with hash function based conditions and GPU signature grinding, locking down the 10 minute mempool window where a public key sits exposed to potential quantum attacks. However, this breakthrough comes with major real world trade offs. Generating the proof took hours of heavy GPU computation, costing roughly $150 to $200 in power for a single transfer. Additionally, because standard Bitcoin Core nodes flag this script format as non standard, public nodes would not relay it. The researchers had to submit the transaction directly to MARA Pool via their Slipstream direct submission pipeline. While QSB serves as an emergency fallback to protect high value funds today, developers view it as a temporary bridging tool while work continues on network wide protocol upgrades like BIP 360. What do you think? Will quantum threats force faster protocol upgrades, or are opt in script workarounds enough for now? Share your thoughts below! #antiquantumbitcointransactionminedonmainnet
