The BIP-361 proposal and planning to counter quantum threats in Bitcoin 🛡
The BIP-361 proposal and planning to counter quantum threats in Bitcoin 🛡
Background
Introduction of the BIP-361 proposal by developers to secure the network against quantum computing
The potential risk of public keys being exposed and the vulnerability of old addresses (such as P2PK)
The need to set a specific timeline for upgrading infrastructure and maintaining the security of the entire network
Focus
🎯 Blocking and prohibiting new transfers to addresses with quantum risk
⏱️ Gradual removal and expiration of old signature methods during a five-year transition phase
🔄 Research and study of recovery mechanisms for addresses left behind in the transition process
Implications
🌊 Creating an incentive for traders and wallets to move assets to secure addresses more quickly
💡 The emergence of challenges and heated debates in the Bitcoin community about preserving the principle of permanent access to assets
Conclusion
✨ The BIP-361 plan is a preventive step to harden Bitcoin against the quantum era, seeking to guarantee the security of the entire network by prompting users' individual responsibility 💫
