"There's nothing worse than trying to protect against quantum computing and then making Bitcoin insecure against regular computing." Adam Back on why hash-based signatures are the conservative post-quantum choice for Bitcoin. Based on a 1979 paper. Decades of analysis. SHRINCS is where Blockstream Research landed.

The future of finance runs on Bitcoin and that future is starting to arrive. The Bitcoin Conference, our CEO Adam Back shared how Blockstream has spent the last decade building the infrastructure for a Bitcoin-native world: protocols, custody, hardware, and layer-2s like Liquid Network 🌊. From rebranding to the Blockstream app to launching new enterprise tools and asset management offerings, we’re entering a new chapter focused on sovereignty, security, and scale. Huge thanks to everyone who came by the booth, joined a session, or just stopped to talk Bitcoin with us.

"Bitcoin has no undo, it's a bearer asset. Bitcoin's reliance on cryptography is another level, because it's bearer and final." Adam Back on why Bitcoin and traditional finance are fundamentally different, and why quantum readiness doesn't need to happen overnight.

2% allocation. If Bitcoin doesn't perform, the portfolio recovers. If it continues toward $200T, the effect is outsized. Adam Back on why pension funds don't need to form an opinion on how far Bitcoin goes, just stay the course and don't rebalance.

Provable SHRIMPS: Post-quantum hash-based signatures verified in Cairo with STARK proofs. As usual Blockstream Research is killing it on the post quantum bitcoin research. SHRIMPS 🦐 is so cool that I made provable shrimps, it could be useful to for batch shrimps signature verification. Don't panic, as Adam Back said: "SHRIMPS & bitcoin quantum readiness > quantum FUD."

Can a sufficiently powerful quantum computer forge the signatures used to authorize Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions? What would it take to upgrade both networks before that happens? In this new lecture, Stanford cryptographer Dan Boneh explores why blockchains may turn to signatures built from hash functions. He also presents new research on threshold signing. The talk ends with the questions Bitcoin still has to answer, including whether post-quantum signatures will require larger blocks, what happens to abandoned coins, and how someone such as Satoshi could prove ownership after Bitcoin’s current signatures have been retired. 00:00 Why blockchains need to prepare for quantum computers 03:05 Why Bitcoin may bet on hash-based signatures 06:25 The “big footgun” in stateful signatures 08:58 A quantum-safe signature that takes one billion hashes 14:13 Inside SLH-DSA’s virtual tree 20:30 How Bitcoin and Ethereum could make the switch 23:48 What happens when a wallet loses its state? 32:47 Can threshold signing survive the quantum transition? 36:39 How to hide lattice cryptography from the blockchain 38:49 Why threshold one-time signatures seem impossible 45:36 How context prevents forged signatures 49:37 The forgotten idea behind Winternitz signatures 54:50 Turning one-time signatures into threshold signatures 1:04:27 Will quantum-safe signatures require bigger Bitcoin blocks? 1:06:26 Abandoned bitcoin and Satoshi’s recovery problem

(14:12) - Different types of cryptography and exploring Hash-based signature schemes (17:00) - Categories of Hash-based signature scheme and their pros & cons (23:42) - How do Hash-based signatures work? (32:14) - Would Lightning, Multi-sig, Taproot, Silent Payments, Atomic swaps work in a post-quantum world? (38:50) - What are Adaptor signatures & how do they affect atomic swapping? (41:27) - Will we need new Bitcoin hardware wallets?; Signature production & verification (44:41) - Signature size and Bitcoin block capacity implications (46:52) - Should we revisit the block size conversation? (54:57) - Overview of SPHINCS+ & SHRINCS (59:49) - Transitioning to post-quantum signature schemes; Overview of BIP 360 (1:09:06) - Closing thoughts
