Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli cracked a 15-bit elliptic curve key on public quantum hardware, earning a Project Eleven reward of 1 BTC, setting the current record for the largest publicly demonstrated quantum attack. Industry estimates suggest that fully cracking 256-bit ECC now requires approximately 500k physical qubits, while around 6.9 million exposed public key bitcoins face potential risk, accelerating the development of quantum-resistant migration solutions including BIP-360.
