According to Decrypt, Coinbase has published a detailed technical post arguing that Bitcoin’s migration to quantum‑resistant cryptography should begin now, rather than waiting until any future “Q‑Day.” The exchange outlines requirements across block space, custody handling, and dormant coins as essential steps for initiating the process.
The post emphasizes that the multi‑year transition needs to start before a hypothetical Q‑Day event. Coinbase lists block space considerations, proper custody procedures, and management of dormant assets as necessary prerequisites.
By urging an early start, Coinbase seeks to position itself ahead of any timeline related to quantum threats to Bitcoin’s current cryptographic foundations.
