Development Progress
Building Bitcoin for the quantum era
Development Roadmap
Our path to delivering quantum-resistant Bitcoin
Phase 0: Foundation
- •Initial research into post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
- •Bitcoin protocol modification analysis
- •Selection of NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms
- •Foundation architecture planning
Phase 1: Integrating Dilithium
Extending Dilithium support for addresses, transactions, scripts and consensus/mining
Phase 2: Testnet
Security, testing, and deployment, and whitepaper release
Phase 3: Mainnet
Mainnet launch with Dilithium support and open-source release
Releases
Pre-Release v0.1.0
2025-08-20Introducing major consensus changes in preperation for PQC signatures, regtest mining support, and genesis block configs
Latest Developer Notes
Dilithium Integration Phase 1 Complete
2025-09-10Phase 1 of Dilithium integration is complete. This milestone lays the foundation for address, script, and wallet integration. Moving onto Phase 2 of Address and Script Integration
SegWit v2 for PQC: Architectural Decision
2025-09-05We’re integrating post-quantum signatures via SegWit v2. Consensus-level changes like quantum PoW are deferred, keeping focus on the immediate risk: signature security.
Pre-Release: Chain Live for Testing
2025-08-19BTQ Core v0.1.0 is live. This baseline unlocks the next stage: rigorous test coverage and protocol work for PQC signatures.
