Blockstream is researching Falcon-1024, a new digital signature technology that could help protect $BTC against future quantum computing threats.
Falcon-1024 stands out among Dilithium and Hawk for its smaller signatures and faster verification, helping reduce Bitcoin transaction data.
There are still challenges to solve before it can be used on Bitcoin, including memory requirements, security testing and wallet compatibility.
Blockstream is also exploring SHRINCS as another possible solution. The research is part of a wider effort to prepare Bitcoin for future quantum computers that could weaken the cryptography protecting digital assets.
No upgrade has been adopted yet, but the work is helping explore possible ways to keep Bitcoin secure in the long term.
