💥 AI JUST CUT THE ESTIMATED COST OF A QUANTUM ATTACK ON BITCOIN BY 86%
AI agents are helping researchers optimize quantum circuits for attacks against secp256k1, the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In the ECDSA.Fail challenge, more than 100 participants reduced the resource score for a key attack component from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion — an 86% reduction. The leading design uses about 1,151 logical qubits and 1.3 million Toffoli gates.
This does not mean Bitcoin can be cracked today. The results are theoretical resource estimates, and the required fault-tolerant quantum hardware does not yet exist.
Still, cheaper attack designs strengthen the case for starting the post-quantum migration early.
