The post Bitcoin Devs Build Quantum-Proof Wallet Prototype to Protect Funds appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin developers have built a working prototype to protect wallets from quantum attacks, allowing users to recover funds even if emergency security changes are activated.
The solution addresses risks affecting up to 6.9 million BTC and signals proactive steps toward quantum-resistant Bitcoin security.
Bitcoin: Prototype Designed for Quantum Emergency
A senior Bitcoin developer and Lightning Labs CTO, Olaoluwa Osuntokun, introduced a working prototype that protects wallets from quantum computing threats. The system allows users to recover funds even if Bitcoin disables vulnerable signature mechanisms during a quantum emergency.
The tool uses zk-STARK cryptographic proofs to verify wallet ownership without exposing private keys. This means users could still move funds even if the current signature method becomes unsafe.
The prototype reportedly generates a
