Proposal Could Protect Bitcoin from Quantum Threats

A proposed Bitcoin update could safeguard the network against potential quantum computer attacks by migrating coins to quantum-resistant addresses. Researchers have warned that a powerful enough quantum computer could compromise Bitcoin's blockchain, prompting the development of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP)-361. In other news, AI agents are increasingly handling crypto payments, but new research highlights the security risks associated with the infrastructure supporting this shift. Meanwhile, CoW Swap, a decentralized trading interface, has halted its services due to a domain name system (DNS) hijacking incident. Additionally, the XRP Ledger has integrated with Boundless, a zero-knowledge proving network, to enable private transactions on the public blockchain while meeting regulatory requirements.
