StarkWare said Aug. 29 that it had successfully processed a transaction on the Bitcoin mainnet using its Quantum Safe Bitcoin, or QSB, technology.
QSB adds transaction conditions designed to defend against attacks by quantum computers. StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy developed the technology on Aug. 26.
The transaction did not require a soft fork, hard fork or Bitcoin core protocol upgrade. StarkWare said it processed the quantum-resistant transaction using Bitcoin’s existing consensus rules.
Bitcoin moved from $81,500.8 to $67,069.7 over the last 30-day period, a decline of 17.7 percent.

The transaction was worth 10,000 satoshis.
Practical use remains limited. Processing the transaction required several hours of graphics processing unit, or GPU, computation and cost about $150 to $200.
StarkWare Chief Executive Officer Eli Ben-Sasson said he still wants Bitcoin to adopt a soft fork and expects that to happen.
