A week-long coding contest hosted by StarkWare and partners cut the estimated GPU cost for a quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction from about $320 to $66, a 79% reduction. Developers used AI models like Opus 5, Fable 5.1, and GPT-6 Astra to accelerate the GPU search code, increasing processing speed from 146 million to 881 million candidates per second. This cost estimate covers only GPU compute and excludes network fees. While the method, Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB), adds hash-based protection without changing Bitcoin’s rules, StarkWare emphasizes it as an emergency option, not a full quantum-safe solution, with a soft fork still preferred long-term.
The AI-assisted developers' breakthrough in cutting the quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction GPU cost to $66 offers a fresh perspective on crypto technology costs.
