tldr; Bitcoin developers unveiled two prototype quantum-resistant wallet recovery methods: Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun proposed a zk-STARK-based recovery path for BIP-86 Taproot wallets, while StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy outlined a no-softfork scheme that may fit within Bitcoin’s current script limits. The prototypes offer concrete migration options for existing wallets amid rising concern after Google warned quantum attacks on secp256k1 may be easier than thought, though they are not yet deployed solutions.
