[BitMEX Proposes 'Canary' Solution to Replace Quantum Freeze for Bitcoin Quantum Threats] April 16 news: In response to the BIP-361 'Quantum Freeze' proposal introduced yesterday, BitMEX Research published a research article stating that this 'one-size-fits-all freeze' approach could have significant impacts, potentially disrupting the market and user assets even before a genuine quantum threat emerges. The article also provides an alternative solution, suggesting entering a 'Canary Observation State' five years later: a special 'Canary Fund' address would be pre-set on-chain, with proof provided through special methods that no one possesses its private key. As long as this address remains untouched, it indicates that quantum computers capable of stealing Bitcoin have not yet emerged, and Bitcoin in quantum-vulnerable addresses can still be used normally. Only when a transaction successfully transfers funds from this address appears on-chain would it signify a real quantum attack threat, at which point the freeze mechanism would be immediately activated.
