BTQ Technologies, a post-quantum cryptography specialist, has launched 'Bitcoin Quantum'. According to the report, this is a permissionless fork and testnet of Bitcoin. The development addresses potential threats to the cryptocurrency network from quantum computing. The testnet allows for experimentation and development of quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions. Quantum computing poses a risk to existing cryptographic systems, and this initiative aims to proactively explore defenses for the Bitcoin network.
