MicroCloud Hologram Plans to Invest $400 Million to Advance Bitcoin Quantum Resistance Upgrade

BlockBeats News, April 6th, MicroCloud Hologram Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company, announced its plan to invest $400 million in participating in the Bitcoin Post-Quantum Attack Protocol's research and development, driving the construction of an encryption infrastructure for the "quantum era."

The scheme will adopt a "hybrid encryption architecture," introducing a post-quantum signature algorithm into the existing transaction system, running in parallel with the traditional ECDSA for dual-signature security redundancy. It will also support progressive upgrades to avoid impacting network stability.

On the technical path, the company aims to be compatible with various mainstream post-quantum algorithms, including lattice-based (such as CRYSTALS-Dilithium), hash-based (such as SPHINCS+), and multivariate signature schemes. Through modular design and signature compression technology, it seeks to balance security and performance overhead.

At the protocol level, the validation logic will be implemented through an extended script system and new opcodes, advancing upgrades through a soft fork to ensure old nodes' participation in consensus, reducing the risk of community fragmentation.

In addition, the company plans to introduce a time-lock mechanism to prevent "delay attacks" (i.e., cracking historical public keys once future quantum computing capabilities mature). It will also promote hardware acceleration, lightweight wallet support, and miner verification optimization.

According to the roadmap, the project will progress in stages: first, validate on the testnet, then gradually pilot the hybrid signature mechanism on the mainnet, and finally, under community consensus, complete a comprehensive post-quantum upgrade.
