Coinbase Urges Early Work on Bitcoin's Post-Quantum Transition
Original: Coinbase Urges Early Work on Bitcoin’s Post-Quantum Transition
Coinbase is calling for Bitcoin developers to begin preparing now for a transition to post-quantum cryptography, the report says. The exchange's argument is that quantum computers could eventually threaten the cryptographic signatures securing Bitcoin, and that migrating the network's vast holdings would be slow and contentious, so planning should start well before any threat materialises. The push has drawn attention across the crypto industry, where debates over quantum risk and protocol upgrades have been intensifying.
Why now: Concern is growing that future quantum computers could break the cryptography protecting Bitcoin, prompting debate about how early the network should prepare.
