Hi CT. I lead a public quantum-security company. Bitcoin and all major cryptos are quantum vulnerable. This shouldn’t be news, but here we are. We’ve been working on this problem for 3 years. Here is what we discovered: 1. simply replacing quantum-vulnerable ECDSA signatures with post-quantum cryptography (Dilithium or Falcon) is not possible without breaking the data structure of standard blockchains since PQC signatures are 20-30x bigger; 2. this means there are two paths one can take: A. hard fork = change the underlying structure of the chain; B. look for ways to incorporate PQC without the size overhead; 3. since no one likes hard forks, we focused on B; 4. witness proof technology (zk proof) can be used to do B; 5. we created a zk proof engine that, on the wallet side, produces a tiny proof of a quantum-safe signature that can be validated by the standard chain validators; 6. this works for EVM and Solana, not (yet) Bitcoin; 7. our patent application and tech whitepaper in comments What does CT think about this solution to avoid heavy migration (soft fork would still be needed) and make crypto quantum safe?

💭 After 32 years of growing this company from a startup to a public entity, I see quantum-safe technology as our biggest opportunity yet. With NIST-approved algorithms, pioneering patents, and products already in use, we're ready to scale. $oonef @01quantuminc @IronCAPCyber
