Nigerian developer Olaoluwa Osuntokun is building Bitcoin's first quantum-defence prototype
A Nigerian immigrant, Olaoluwa Osuntokun, has built Bitcoin’s first quantum-defence prototype. Olaoluwa, who goes by the username “Roasbeef” on X, took to the microblogging site and Bitcoin developers’ mailing list on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, to make a breakthrough announcement that he has developed a fully working prototype for post-quantum wallet recovery using zk-STARK proofs. Built in his spare time, the tool, titled “Post-Quantum BIP-86 Re…
The technical director of Lightning Labs, Olaoluwa Osuntokun, released this Wednesday, April 8th, a functional prototype to protect portfolios in the event of an urgent quantum threat. A first concrete in this technical debate that has lasted for years, and that still divides the community on the real reality of the threat. L的 article Bitcoin in the face of the quantum threat: research advances to protect portfolios has appeared first on Cryptoa…
Lightning Labs CTO Releases zk-STARK Prototype; Quantum Rescue Tool
Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun released a zk-STARK prototype for Taproot and older P2PK security. Google’s March 2026 research shows 6.9M BTC across Taproot and older P2PK address formats are exposed. The zk-STARK prototype enables safe wallet recovery and could accelerate Bitcoin’s transition to quantum-resistant security. On April 8, Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun posted a working zk-STARK prototype to the Bitcoin developer maili…
The Bitcoin ecosystem has taken a relevant step in one of the most complex technical debates in recent years: how to protect funds against a possible quantum computing attack without harming users themselves. A new functional prototype, developed by the Lightning Labs CTO, presents a concrete solution to a problem that hitherto existed only in theory.
