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 $62,822 to $77,534.2 over the last 30-day period, a gain of 23.4 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.
