BitMEX Research Details Post-Quantum Bitcoin "Freeze" and Recovery Proposal
BitMEX Research has outlined a post-quantum recovery plan for Bitcoin that would address coins held in legacy addresses at risk from quantum attacks. The proposal suggests a potential soft fork to freeze vulnerable funds, paired with quantum-safe recovery transactions using hash commitments or zero-knowledge proofs. The plan also covers high-risk legacy holdings, including early coins such as those attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, via a "Pre-QDay Commitment" mechanism.
