Bitcoin’s shift to post-quantum security could be far more complex than Taproot, says Project Eleven CEO
Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden believes Bitcoin developers should begin preparing for a post-quantum future now rather than waiting for quantum computing timelines to become certain.
Pruden explained that the challenge of upgrading Bitcoin’s cryptographic security may be significantly tougher than the network’s Taproot upgrade, largely because moving to quantum-resistant signature systems would require major coordination across the ecosystem.
He argued that the risk of delaying action outweighs the cost of starting early, emphasizing that Bitcoin should transition from theoretical research into real-world implementation before quantum hardware reaches a critical stage.$BTC
