BITCOIN DEVELOPER ROLLS OUT BIP-361 TO ADDRESS QUANTUM CALCULATION RISK

BITCOIN DEVELOPERS RECENTLY LAUNCHED THE BIP-361 PROPOSAL, WHICH AIMS TO PROTECT WALLETS FROM FUTURE QUANTUM COMPUTATION RISKS. THE PROPOSAL WOULD PREVENT THE TRANSFER OF THE NEW BTC TO AN ADDRESS CONSIDERED VULNERABLE TO QUANTUM ATTACKS AND WOULD AIM TO PHASE OUT THE TRADITIONAL SIGNATURE PROGRAMME OVER A FIVE-YEAR TRANSITION PERIOD. IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSAL WILL EXPLORE RECOVERY MECHANISMS FOR USERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RELOCATE FUNDS IN A TIMELY MANNER。
