Bitcoin Developers Advance Quantum Resistance with BIP 360 Update
According to André Dragosch, Bitcoin developers have made significant progress in addressing quantum computing threats with the latest update to BIP 360. The update introduces the Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) output type, eliminating Taproot's quantum-vulnerable key-path spend while maintaining compatibility with Tapscript and script trees. The changes lay the groundwork for post-quantum signatures and are implemented as a soft fork, ensuring backward compatibility. Additionally, the update includes contributions from Isabel Foxen Duke to enhance clarity for broader audiences, reflecting the community's commitment to addressing quantum risks. |
