Post-Quantum Signatures and MPC Compatibility
A new report discusses Bitcoin’s proposed post-quantum migration plan (BIP 361), outlining a phased transition that could eventually freeze non-upgraded coins. The article also notes compatibility considerations with technologies like BitVM, highlighting ongoing debates around governance, timelines, and migration strategies.

PQ Signatures: MPC Friendliness and Necessary Endeavors
Organizations around the world are considering upgrading their security stacks to be resilient to adversaries with quantum computing capabilities, commonly referred to as a “cryptographically relevant quantum computer” (CRQC). Regardless of the credibility of CRQCs becoming a reality in the near future, events like NIST disallowing quantum vulnerable cryptosystems (in the 2030s) mean that organizations that wish to stay compliant with standards must have a “post-quantum” (PQ) migration plan.
