According to a report by Bloomingbit, Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream stated in its third-quarter business update that Bitcoin can prepare for future quantum computer attacks by adopting new digital signature technology. The Blockstream team previously released a report comparing three lattice-based signature schemes: Dilithium, Falcon, and Hawk.Researchers assessed that Falcon-1024 provides the best balance between data size, verification speed, and the maturity of its security foundation, stating, "If we had to choose a lattice-based signature scheme for Bitcoin today, we would choose Falcon-1024." However, researchers also pointed out that the finalization of the Falcon standard, obtaining verified implementations, and the memory burden on hardware wallets remain key challenges.
