Researchers Say They Built First Full Post-Quantum Defense for Lightning Network
Binance News - Researchers said on Tuesday that they built what they describe as the first full post-quantum security design for the Lightning Network.

The hybrid design keeps Lightning's existing cryptography in place, meaning an attacker would need to break both systems to compromise a connection or forge a payment request. The team said the working implementation took about three to four months and roughly 11,000 lines of code. The researchers also said Lightning faces quantum risks even if Bitcoin itself receives an upgrade.

He said in an October 4 post on X that many people do not realize how poor the Lightning Network user experience is and claimed there has been a long-running effort to misrepresent it. According to Cointelegraph, Sztorc also said custodial Lightning services account for more than 80% of payments, comparing their promotion to a “vast campaign of fraud” and referencing Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos.
