Stacks co-founder Muneeb Ali highlighted that adopting quantum-resistant signatures for Bitcoin could reduce its block capacity by about tenfold, from around 4,200 transactions per block to as few as 84, depending on the signature size used. This reduction stems from larger post-quantum signatures, which increase transaction data size and limit the number of transactions per block. The Bitcoin community is still debating the design and timing of such upgrades, with proposals like BIP-360 and BIP-361 in draft stages. The shift to post-quantum security is crucial as quantum computers could threaten current cryptographic methods, but the transition timeline remains uncertain.
The topic of post-quantum signatures and their impact on Bitcoin capacity is presented here with relevant market data for context.
