BREAKING 🚨
Coinbase urges the Bitcoin community to launch a quantum‑proof upgrade immediately 🚀.
Holding roughly 5 % of all BTC, Coinbase warns that emerging quantum computers could soon break the elliptic‑curve signatures that secure the network. It proposes a two‑track approach: introduce flexible address formats that can accommodate quantum‑resistant algorithms, and deploy a backup key system designed to survive quantum attacks. The exchange also flags a separate debate over how to handle coins already lost to outdated addresses. Industry analysts say the proposal could accelerate research into post‑quantum cryptography and force miners to adopt new standards before a critical vulnerability emerges.
If adopted, the changes may reshape Bitcoin’s security roadmap within months 🔒.
