⚡ Bitcoin Lightning & Post-Quantum Security: What's Next? 🛡️
A brand-new research preprint has highlighted a key technical challenge for Bitcoin's future scaling layer!
According to the study, even if Bitcoin eventually adopts post-quantum protections, five separate Lightning Network functions will still require their own independent upgrades. The research introduces PQLN (a hybrid post-quantum extension built as a rust-lightning prototype) to test how standard and post-quantum binaries can coexist.
However, researchers note that this is still just a research artifact and does not establish network-wide readiness yet. It's a reminder that Bitcoin's long-term technical evolution is a continuous, multi-layered journey! 📈
