Blockstream Research's recent paper identifies Falcon-1024 as the leading lattice-based signature scheme for quantum-proofing Bitcoin due to its compact size and efficient verification. However, significant hurdles remain, including high memory demands, complex implementation, lack of hierarchical deterministic key support, and pending standardization. Meanwhile, Blockstream is also advancing a more conservative hash-based alternative, SHRINCS, which is under public review and has been tested on its Liquid sidechain. The transition to quantum-resistant Bitcoin security is expected to be gradual, with current Bitcoin security unaffected for now, but wallet developers face major adaptation challenges ahead.
