Experimental rust-lightning Fork Adds Post-Quantum Protection for Lightning
- —The rust-lightning fork received optional post-quantum protection
- —The protection covers transaction processing mechanisms in Lightning
- —Each node will require additional megabytes of memory
- —The base Bitcoin protocol remains without post-quantum signatures
Why it matters: It shows that Lightning infrastructure could get quantum protection earlier than the main blockchain, but at the cost of higher node requirements.
