Cost of quantum-safe Bitcoin transactions drops 79% to under $67 after optimization challenge

The estimated GPU cost to create a quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction has fallen from about $320 to under $67 after a week-long optimization challenge launched by StarkWare, Yukon Research, and Eigen Labs. Developers and AI models improved the transaction-building software speed significantly, reducing the brute-force search time needed to find a valid hash. While these gains are currently only proven in benchmarks and not yet in real transactions, the cost reduction makes quantum-safe transactions more accessible for large Bitcoin holders in emergencies. However, StarkWare still recommends a soft fork as a better long-term solution to Bitcoin's quantum risk.

The story on StarkWare's quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction cost is presented with Pluang's cryptocurrency market data for context. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, 8 out of 50 rose while 41 fell today. Notable movers include EOS up 8.13% at Rp12.649, AAVE down 8.05% at Rp2.447.802 with 94% buy orders, and AXS down 7.98% at Rp18.584 with 97% buy orders. These figures are as of Sep 24, 2026 16:21 WIB.
