A Bitcoin (BTC) transaction using Starkware researcher Avihu Levy’s quantum-safe Bitcoin QSB method has been confirmed on the Bitcoin mainnet. This marks the first reported mainnet demonstration of the experimental construction. The transaction was created to safeguard BTC from future attacks involving powerful quantum computers without needing a soft fork or changes to BTC’s consensus rules.
Levy developed QSB as a way to move Bitcoin into an output protected by hash-based assumptions rather than depending on elliptic curve cryptography used by traditional BTC transactions. This approach is experimental, and its present computational requirements mean it is not yet a practical replacement for BTC’s present transaction system.

Thanks to StarkWare’s @giladi_tom85141 taking this to the finish line and @MARAFoundation_ Slipstream mining this non-standard tx
