What Happens to Bitcoin When Quantum Computers Arrive?
Recent announcements in quantum computing have brought renewed attention to the question of how these advances could impact Bitcoin. In a newly published report, we provide an overview of the current state of quantum computing, the threat model for Bitcoin, and the next steps being considered. This post offers a summary of our key findings and recommendations. See the full report here.
Timeline for Bitcoin Preparation to Quantum Computing
We outline a dual-track migration strategy for Bitcoin in response to the potential emergence of quantum computing.
Long-Term Path: This comprehensive approach assumes that there is still a substantial window of time before quantum computing poses a practical threat. Drawing on the timelines of prior protocol upgrades such as SegWit and Taproot, we estimate that implementing a full quantum-safe transition could take approximately 7 years.
