What BTQ’s Bitcoin quantum testnet shows about the risks of “old BTC”
Bitcoin faces potential threats related to quantum computing, especially concerning the security of public keys and signatures. To explore this, BTQ Technologies launched a Bitcoin-like testnet on January 12, 2026, aimed at experimenting with post-quantum signatures without interfering with Bitcoin’s main governance. The plan involves replacing Bitcoin’s current signature scheme with the ML-DSA, a modular […]
