qBTC Goes Quantum: Open-Source Bitcoin Sidechain Launches with Jameson Lopp as Advisor
Bitcoin’s getting a quantum-resistant upgrade—and it’s not from the usual suspects. qBTC just dropped its open-source, quantum-safe Proof-of-Work sidechain, pulling crypto’s favorite security sage Jameson Lopp into the fold as advisor.
Why it matters: While Wall Street still thinks ’blockchain’ is a spreadsheet upgrade, actual builders are future-proofing Bitcoin against the coming quantum storm. The sidechain could let miners pivot overnight—if they ever stop arguing about Ordinals.
The kicker? This might be the only Bitcoin project where ’quantum’ doesn’t refer to the size of VC checks being cashed.
