StarkWare Researcher Executes First Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transaction on Mainnet StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy’s Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) scheme has completed its first confirmed transaction on the Bitcoin mainnet, demonstrating a way to protect transactions from Shor-algorithm attacks without a soft fork or changes to Bitcoin’s consensus rules. QSB shifts transaction security away from elliptic-curve cryptography toward hash-based assumptions, though it remains experimental, requires roughly $75–$150 in off-chain GPU computation per transaction.
