StarkWare Tests Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin Transaction

StarkWare said the experimental transaction demonstrated quantum-resistant Bitcoin spending without a fork, but it cost up to $200 and required direct miner submission.

StarkWare Runs Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin Spend on Mainnet

StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy says he has successfully carried out an experimental, quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction directly on the Bitcoin mainnet—an onchain test intended to validate a proposal originally outlined earlier this year. StarkWare described the transfer as the first transaction of its kind, using Levy’s “Quantum Safe Bitcoin” (QSB) scheme. According to StarkWare, the transaction was confirmed Wednesday in Bitcoin block 964,…
