Bitcoin developers have intensified their response to the threats posed by quantum computing — and the pace of this process has significantly accelerated. In early 2025, cryptocurrency analyst Willy Wu began tracking this dynamic, noting that initial steps were taken slowly; however, by mid-year, the situation had changed dramatically. According to a report from BlockBeats, Willy conducted a detailed analysis of the evolution of this process, revealing a significant acceleration within the developer community.
A turning point was the event in San Francisco — in July 2025, the First Quantum Bitcoin Summit was held, bringing together developers and experts to discuss strategies for protection against quantum threats. Willy emphasized that although the initial pace of addressing these critical issues was cautious and deliberate, today developers are demonstrating decisive momentum and practical steps to ensure network security against future technological challenges. This development trajectory indicates that the Bitcoin community is taking potential risks seriously and actively working on solutions.
