NEW: 🟠 Bitcoin Devs take steps to address the Quantum threat 👀

An updated version of BIP 360 has been merged into the official Bitcoin BIPs repository.

The proposal introduces Pay to Merkle Root, or P2MR, a new opt in output type that removes Taproot’s quantum vulnerable key path spend while maintaining compatibility with Tapscript and script trees.

Key updates:

• Removes Taproot’s quantum exposed key path in a separate new output type
•
• Lays groundwork for post quantum signature schemes using Tapscript and script tree optionality at spend time

• Implemented as a soft fork, existing Taproot outputs remain unaffected

• Adds Isabel Foxen Duke as co author to improve clarity and accessibility beyond the developer community
