🛡️ AI made the “quantum safe vault” for Bitcoin almost 80% cheaper
StarkWare reported that in an open competition, developers and AI agents optimized the creation of an experimental quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction. Over the week, the estimated cost of GPU computations fell from about $320 to $67, and the speed of a key test increased from 146 million to over 820 million verified candidates per second. An important clarification: this does not yet make all of Bitcoin quantum-secure—transactions are non-standard, and StarkWare’s long-term solution is a soft fork. Looks like AI is no longer just tallying coins, but also helping build armor for them.
Does Bitcoin need a quantum upgrade right now, or is this still a safeguard against a very distant risk?
