BTQ 在比特幣量子測試網部署 BIP 360

Bitcoin, with a market capitalization of about $1.3 trillion, relies on elliptic-curve cryptography to secure transactions. If large-scale quantum computers become viable, exposed public keys could potentially be used to derive private keys. Bitcoin developers have therefore proposed BIP-360, adding a quantum-resistant migration to the network’s long-term technical roadmap to reduce the potential risk to existing assets.

Proposed in 2025, BIP-360 introduces Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), which removes Taproot’s public-key spending path and instead locks scripts with a Merkle root, allowing keys to remain hidden until funds are spent. The proposal remains a draft, with no mainnet activation date, and does not yet introduce a complete post-quantum signature scheme. It nevertheless establishes a foundation for future upgrades.
