🛡️ Bitcoin Researchers Propose a Quantum-Resistant Upgrade
Blockstream researchers have introduced SHRINCS, a proposed signature system designed to help protect Bitcoin against future quantum computing threats.
🔹 Built using SHA-256, already widely used in Bitcoin
🔹 Designed to be quantum-resistant
🔹 Could handle roughly 3 transactions per second, preserving more capacity than some existing post-quantum designs
🔹 Would require a Bitcoin soft fork and network-wide support
The proposal is still early and not production-ready, but it marks another step toward preparing Bitcoin for a potential quantum future. ₿🔐
