Bitcoin Post-Quantum Migration Harder Than Taproot, Project Eleven CEO Says

2026-05-07 02:04:48

BTC-1.44%

Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven, stated that Bitcoin's post-quantum migration will be more difficult than the Taproot upgrade and should begin immediately. According to Pruden, the asymmetry between acting on a post-quantum signature scheme today and waiting for certainty about quantum-computing hardware timelines means Bitcoin developers should move from research into production.

Post-Quantum Signature Scheme Urgency

Pruden's argument centers on the timing dilemma: delaying action until quantum computing threats are fully understood carries greater risk than beginning the migration process now, even amid ongoing research and uncertainty about hardware development timelines.

Taproot is just an optimization at the script layer; post-quantum cryptography involves the entire signature system, and the scale of that effort is fundamentally different. The CEO is right—it's better to start sooner, even if it's just to discuss standards first.

Post-quantum migration is indeed much more complex than Taproot, after all, it involves replacing underlying cryptographic primitives.

Starting the layout now is wise; waiting until quantum computers actually arrive might be too late, as on-chain assets could already be compromised by then.
