Anduro, a technical unit created by Minera de Bitcoin Mara (Mara), has begun to integrate proposals designed for the Bitcoin protocol to protect the sidechain (Side chain) Adjust ante Possible threats from quantum computing.
This was announced by Anduro’s team on August 5th through social network X.
“We have made coordinates resistant to quantum computing. The BIP360 is currently moving towards its launch on MainNet (now the beta version of Testnet). The release is scheduled for the end of this year.”

With the implementation of the technical proposal BIP-360, this Side chain Encryption tools added This is a quantum computer attack, yet still trying to resist the technology being developed, but if matured, it could violate current digital signature systems.
What is BIP-360? Also, how does Bitcoin protect against quantum attacks?
The BIP-360 proposal was presented in June 2024 by a developer known as Hunter Beast, a collaborator of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
As explained by Cryptonoticia, BIP-360 introduces a cryptographic method known as P2QRH (in Spanish, “payment to a hash resistant to quantum computing”) and provides a mechanism for transactions resistant to quantum attacks.
The proposal aims to replace the current mechanism for protecting Bitcoin signatures, the Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), with a new type of digital signature. BIP-360 Hash is based on functions It’s safe against Quantum, such as the Shake-256 and SHA-3.
In that sense, Bitcoin Libre CEO Ben Sigman said he had to use hash instead of public keys. Eliminate the risk of exposure to confidential informationsince the hash is the result of a unidirectional function, and even “in advanced technology” cannot be reversed to get the original entry.
Such a method involves adopting BIP-360 at coordinates at current stages Test NetAndro is trying to ensure that this sidechain maintains integrity to future advancements in quantum computing.
