Legacy systems have been our cryptographic backbone for decades. One challenge in the PQ transition is finding approaches that integrate cleanly into the systems & flows already used today. That’s what @Mahdi_seda from @SoundnessLabs discussed at the PQTS #7 call last week. 🧵

zkSummit14 is happening in Rome on May 7th! Once again, we bring together the researchers, cryptographers, and builders in ZK for a day to catchup on the most cutting edge ideas in our space. We are about to sell out, so apply & get your ticket asap! zksummit.com





This is super interesting ... BIP-361 (Phase C): recover frozen legacy UTXOs via ZK proof of BIP-39 seed knowledge. As said in our previous posts this is the most practical solution. This is literally what we built for other chains with sub-second proving time, client-side. We have the most efficient construction for it at @SoundnessLabs. The missing piece for Bitcoin: where and how do you verify the proof? No smart conract, no native verifier, limited opcodes. That's the research frontier we're on right now, stay tuned ...

🚨 LATEST: Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and co-authors propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum-vulnerable Bitcoin, including Satoshi's $74B stash, before quantum computers can steal them.
