Quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction preparation costs drop after optimization
Cointelegraph reports a weeklong optimization challenge reduced the estimated GPU cost of preparing an experimental quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction to under $67.
Cointelegraph says StarkWare highlighted a quantum-safe approach for an experimental, quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction and reported that its estimated preparation costs fell sharply after a weeklong optimization challenge.
The outlet says the optimization brought the projected GPU cost down to under $67, which could make the “last resort” measure less burdensome in practice.
StarkWare characterized the method as a contingency tool intended to be used if it becomes necessary to prepare for potential future quantum threats, with the main update being the lower estimated compute cost.
The development is described as making the experimental quantum-resistant transaction preparation more wallet-friendly, though it remains framed as an experimental approach rather than a deployed standard.
