TechBitcoin’s quantum-safe protection gets 82% cheaper as researchers race to secure 6 million exposed BTC

Researchers lowered the estimated computing cost of a specialized quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction by 82%, to $59. Software improvements raised the benchmark to more than 1 billion verified candidates per second, though the figure remains a simulated, hardware-dependent estimate rather than a completed production transaction. The approach aims to protect eligible holdings without changing Bitcoin’s protocol, while researchers target a cost below $10.
