Bitcoin Proposal Sparks Debate Over Quantum-Resistant Addresses

A recent Bitcoin proposal, BIP-361, has sparked debate within the developer community regarding the implementation of quantum-resistant addresses. This move aims to protect Bitcoin's blockchain from potential quantum computer attacks that could compromise the network. If adopted, holders of non-quantum-resistant addresses may be forced to migrate their coins to new addresses or risk having them frozen by the network. In other news, research has highlighted the vulnerabilities of AI-powered crypto payment systems, while CoW Swap, a decentralized trading interface, has temporarily halted its services due to a DNS hijacking incident. Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger has integrated with Boundless, a zero-knowledge proving network, to enable private transactions on the public blockchain.
