New System Secures Bitcoin Lightning Network
3 min read
A team led by Ahmet Kurt published a paper on arXiv in 2026 describing PQLN, a software update for the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This system protects authentication keys from quantum computers running Shor's algorithm, which could break current keys in hours. The research addresses the risk of irreversible theft in decentralized Bitcoin transactions before powerful quantum hardware arrives.
