Latest from IBM Quantum and Google Research
Analysis of the Pinnacle Architecture paper (arXiv:2602.11457): QLDPC codes reduce RSA-2048 factoring to 100,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude below previous estimates. Implications for Bitcoin, ECDSA, and Q-Day timelines.
Developer-level analysis of BIP-360 and BIP-361: Bitcoin's architectural path to post-quantum security through staged, backward-compatible soft-fork migration. Includes script templates, validation semantics, and UTXO exposure risk mapping.
Deep analysis of why ECDSA signatures face existential threat from Shor's algorithm while SHA-256 hashing remains resilient. Includes qubit requirements table and the 6.92 million BTC already at risk.
Why the crypto community needs real-time quantum vulnerability monitoring now, before Q-Day arrives. How QSHA256 maps Bitcoin's exposure and why it matters.
Total blockchain quantum exposure across all 7 address types. Data sourced at block #940,810.
