项目11向任何可以使用量子计算机打破比特币的加密的人提供1 BTC奖励

项目11希望衡量量子安全风险对比特币的紧迫性。

Project 11, a recently launched quantum computing firm, is looking to gauge the urgency of the quantum security risk to Bitcoin.

Project 11是一家最近推出的量子计算公司，正在寻求评估量子安全风险对比特币的紧迫性。

What Happened: Project 11 disclosed that it would give away 1 BTC, currently worth nearly $85,000, to any individual or team that could break the largest elliptic curve cryptographic key possible using Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer before April 5, 2026.

发生的事情：项目11透露，它将向任何个人或团队提供1个BTC，目前价值近85,000美元，这些个人或团队可能会在2026年4月5日之前使用Shor's算法打破最大的椭圆曲线加密密钥。

The firm’s CEO, Sergey Devore, said in a statement that they are interested in seeing if the current predictions for quantum computer development hold true.

该公司的首席执行官Sergey DeVore在一份声明中说，他们有兴趣了解当前对量子计算机开发的预测是否成立。

“We’re also curious to see if any teams can work together to smash the 255-bit ECC key in the allotted time frame, especially considering the potential implications for Bitcoin.”

“我们也很好奇，看看是否有任何团队可以在分配的时间范围内共同努力，粉碎255位ECC密钥，尤其是考虑到对比特币的潜在影响。”

At the current pace of development, quantum computers could break Bitcoin’s wallet encryption within the decade, potentially putting millions of exposed wallet keys at risk. The firm estimates that these wallets hold 6 million BTC worth over $500 billion.

在目前的开发速度下，量子计算机可能会在十年内打破比特币的钱包加密，这可能会使数百万个裸露的钱包钥匙处于危险之中。该公司估计，这些钱包持有600万BTC，价值超过5000亿美元。

The crypto behemoth is planning to upgrade its network to become quantum-resistant by 2030.

加密庞然大物计划在2030年之前将其网络升级以抗量子。

Why It's Important: Project 11 is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can create a program to break the 255-bit ECC key. The firm will also provide the winner with the necessary cloud server to perform the calculations.

为什么重要的是：项目11向任何可以创建一个计划打破255位ECC密钥的计划提供10,000美元的奖励。该公司还将为获胜者提供必要的云服务器来执行计算。

The firm’s efforts could inform a push to make the cryptocurrency network quantum-resistant.

该公司的努力可以为使加密货币网络量子量化量子提供努力。

A recent report by Union Bank, an affiliate of the U.S. banking giant Bank of America, warned that broad adoption of quantum computers could pose a significant risk to blockchain technology.

美国银行巨头银行的分支机构联合银行最近的一份报告警告说，广泛采用量子计算机可能对区块链技术构成重大风险。

The report, titled "The Impact of Quantum Computing on Web3 and the Metaverse," highlighted the potential for quantum computers to efficiently break the cryptographic algorithms commonly used in blockchain systems.

该报告的标题为“量子计算对Web3和Metaverse的影响”，强调了量子计算机有效打破区块链系统中常用的加密算法的潜力。

"While the time frame for such capabilities remains uncertain, the rapid progress in quantum computing suggests that this technology could pose a significant risk to Web3 and the metaverse in the coming decade," the report stated.

报告说：“尽管此类功能的时间范围仍然不确定，但量子计算的快速进步表明，在未来十年中，该技术可能对Web3和元元构成重大风险。”

Invictus Bitcoin, a Bitcoin mining firm, is also offering a 1 BTC reward to anyone who can mine a block on the Bitcoin network using a quantum computer. The firm said it is offering the reward as it believes that quantum computers will not be able to mine Bitcoin.

比特币采矿公司Invictus比特币还为任何可以使用Quantum计算机在比特币网络上开采块的人提供了1 BTC奖励。该公司表示，它正在提供奖励，因为它认为量子计算机将无法开采比特币。

"We're not saying it's going to be easy," Invictus Bitcoin CEO Ben Armstrong said. "But we're confident that it can be done. And we're willing to put our money where our mouth is."

Invictus比特币首席执行官本·阿姆斯特朗（Ben Armstrong）说：“我们并不是说这很容易。” “但是我们有信心可以做到。我们愿意把钱放在嘴里。”
