Blockstream founder: BTC Taproot reserves post-quantum signature support to alleviate quantum computing concerns

Wu learned that Adam Back, the founder of Blockstream, tweeted that Taproot leaf nodes in BTC reserve support for future post-quantum (PQ) signature mechanisms, which can effectively alleviate fears of Quantum Computing without the need for currently activated anti-quantum signature opcodes. He believes that the threat of Quantum Computing will not become a reality for at least several decades, and anti-quantum signature technology will also introduce more compact and mature solutions in the future. At the same time, he pointed out that BTC users can securely migrate funds through existing Schnorr signatures or future anti-quantum signature schemes, without increasing current transaction costs. He emphasized that this mechanism can help the BTC community prepare in advance while maintaining on-chain efficiency.
