Bitcoin's mainnet confirmed its first quantum-safe transaction using StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) method on August 26. This method replaces traditional elliptic-curve cryptography with hash-based protections to resist quantum attacks, without requiring changes to Bitcoin's consensus rules or a soft fork. The process involves costly off-chain computation and direct miner submission, making it impractical for everyday use. While this transaction proves QSB can work under current rules, it does not make Bitcoin fully quantum-safe, and broader upgrades are still being studied to protect against future quantum threats.
