The estimated computational cost to prepare a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction has fallen below $67, down from roughly $320 spent on the first such mainnet transaction in August, according to StarkWare. The company said the reduction followed a week of optimization work in its Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Optimization Challenge.
According to a Sept. 23 update published by StarkWare, the dashboard now shows the estimated cost has dropped to $66. The firm stated that a construction costing a few hundred dollars per transaction is a demonstration, while one costing $67 is closer to something a holder with a large unexposed balance might reach for in an emergency. The company added that the latest optimizations have only been demonstrated in benchmark tests, not in a live transaction.
