$BTC Could Be Ready for the Quantum Threat
Researchers at StarkWare have developed a way to make Bitcoin transactions more resistant to potential attacks from quantum computers, without changing the Bitcoin network.
The method uses features that already exist in Bitcoin. For now, it requires a lot of computing power, so it is not ready for widespread use.
Still, the research suggests that Bitcoin could potentially be protected from quantum threats before any major protocol upgrade is needed.
