New Bitcoin Post-Quantum Work Undercuts ‘No One Is Building’ Claims

Bitcoin core developer Matt Corallo responded to claims that no serious work is being done on post-quantum cryptography for Bitcoin, citing Blockstream's new OP_SHRINCSVERIFY announcement as evidence of ongoing development. The response highlights that post-quantum cryptography research for Bitcoin is actively progressing, contrary to skeptical assertions.

• →Matt Corallo pushed back against claims that no one is seriously working on post-quantum cryptography for Bitcoin.
• →Blockstream announced a preview of OP_SHRINCSVERIFY as part of post-quantum development efforts.
• →The development work represents ongoing efforts rather than sudden new initiatives.
• →Post-quantum cryptography remains an active area of Bitcoin protocol development.
• →The announcement serves to counter skepticism about Bitcoin's quantum resistance preparations.
