đš BITCOIN JUST TOOK ITS FIRST STEP TOWARD QUANTUM-SAFE SECURITY! âïžđĄïž
A researcher from StarkWare has reportedly completed the first quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction on mainnet.
The transaction was confirmed in block 964,199, using the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) scheme â without requiring a soft fork, hard fork or consensus change.
đ§ Why it matters:
QSB replaces vulnerable elliptic-curve signatures with hash-based, quantum-resistant security, designed to protect transactions against future quantum attacks.
But there are still major limitations. đ
â ïž It reportedly requires hours of GPU computation and costs roughly $150â$200 per transaction.
đ« QSB transactions are currently non-standard under Bitcoin Core relay rules.
đŻ It protects specific transactions, not the entire Bitcoin network.
The bigger takeaway? Bitcoin now has a real-world demonstration of a potential quantum-resistant path while developers continue working toward longer-term protocol solutions.
âł Quantum computing may still be years away â but Bitcoin's defense has already started.
