MicroCloud Hologram Inc., technology services and quantum computing developer, announced plans to invest $400 million in research to strengthen the Bitcoin protocol against future quantum attacks. The company will work with academic partners and open-source contributors to design a transition toward post-quantum cryptography without disrupting the current network.
The project focuses on a hybrid cryptographic model combining existing ECDSA signatures with quantum-resistant algorithms. This dual-signing approach is intended to provide additional security while allowing gradual adoption. MicroCloud Hologram Inc. will test multiple methods, including lattice-based and hash-based signatures, selecting options based on performance and scalability.
MicroCloud Hologram Inc. will develop hardware acceleration solutions to improve verification speed and reduce computational costs. The roadmap includes testing on a dedicated network, followed by phased integration into the main Bitcoin ecosystem.
