The BIP-360 proposal officially joins the Bitcoin BIP repository to prepare the network for the potential threats of quantum computing. BIP-360 offers a new type of Bitcoin output called Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), via a soft fork. It aims to protect against quantum threats by avoiding the exposure of public keys, vulnerable to Shor's algorithm. This targets "long exposure" attacks on the blockchain, inspired by P2TR but without a key spending path. This is a step to strengthen Bitcoin in the face of future quantum computing. #Bitcoin #BIP #quantum
