BIP-360 post-quantum upgrade don shift go Bitcoin Quantum testnet

Bitcoin developers dey push forward post-quantum upgrade BIP-360 (Pay to Merkle Root, P2MR) as quantum computing research dey raise cryptographic risk. Later report add sharper claims from Google Quantum AI: 256-bit ECC fit break much faster than expected, maybe for minutes with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, while top Ethereum wallets fit compromise in about nine days. For traders, the key thing na how BIP-360 design dey reduce exposure. E dey reduce Taproot-era weakness where key-path spending fit show public keys, replacing public-key-dependent spending with a Merkle-root transaction structure wey aim to lower effectiveness of future quantum attacks (including dem wey follow Shor’s algorithm). Industry estimates still point to “long-exposure” risk: if public keys don already show on-chain, millions of BTC fit vulnerable—this one dey add urgency to defensive protocol work, even if timing still uncertain. On implementation, BTQ Technologies publish BIP-360 for Bitcoin Quantum Testnet v0.3.0. The testnet bring new address formats and Dilithium-based signature components, cut block times to 1 minute, and report 50+ miners, 100,000+ blocks processed, and 100+ open-source contributors. E still draft and experimental, but BIP-360 testnet deployment dey show say performance and security evaluation dey happen before any mainnet activation. Short gist: BIP-360 dey move from theory to engineering for testnet, but no active deployment consensus yet—so near-term price effect on BTC likely limited.
