BTQ announces first deployment of BIP 360 on Bitcoin Quantum Testnet v0.3.0

BTQ Technologies (BTQ)announced that Bitcoin Quantum testnet v0.3.0 includes the first working implementation of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360, the quantum-resistant Pay-to-Merkle-Root output type that was merged into Bitcoin’s official Bitcoin Improvement Proposal repository earlier this year. “BIP 360 represents the Bitcoin community’s most significant step toward quantum resistance and we’ve turned it from a proposal into running code,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO and Chairman of BTQ Technologies. “Bitcoin Quantum exists to prove that quantum-safe solutions work in practice, not just on paper. By shipping a full BIP 360 implementation on testnet, we’re giving the entire industry a live environment to validate these critical protections before the quantum threat arrives.”
