The proposal advocates for Bitcoin's transition to quantum-resistant cryptography due to quantum computing threats.
It outlines a phased approach, including a new post-quantum output type (P2QRH) and deadlines for abandoning legacy signatures.
Aimed at protecting Bitcoin's value, it requires stakeholder action and offers a soft fork strategy for backward compatibility.
