Paradigm researcher proposes a timestamp escape mechanism to protect early Bitcoin from quantum computing threats

ME News Report, May 2nd (UTC+8), Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Proof of Address Control Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-term dormant Bitcoin addresses, including early addresses of Satoshi Nakamoto, from future quantum computing attacks. This mechanism allows users to prove their control over an address through a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. Once a future quantum attack occurs, assets can be recovered based on this proof in a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network. Compared to forced migration schemes (such as BIP-361), PACT avoids privacy exposure caused by actively transferring assets, providing long-term holders with a more flexible preemptive protection path.
