While centralized organizations like Apple or banks can push cryptographic upgrades, public blockchains lack central administrators, making post-quantum migration for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana far harder. The author cites his firm's investment in AmericanFortress and its ZK-PoSP scheme, which aims to make existing wallets quantum-resistant at the protocol level without requiring users to move funds or rotate keys, framing this as a broader thesis around infrastructure-level quantum security investing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why is post-quantum migration harder for Bitcoin and other blockchains than for centralized systems like banks or Apple devices Public blockchains lack a central administrator who can force or coordinate an upgrade. Assets sit across hundreds of millions of wallets, exchanges, custodians and dormant addresses, so there is no single entity that can tell every holder to rotate keys or move funds by a deadline, unlike a bank or Apple pushing a mandatory security update to all users. _Teams weighing blockchain security trade-offs can follow post-quantum migration debates on daily.dev._ ### What is ZK-PoSP and how does it make Bitcoin wallets quantum-resistant ZK-PoSP is a zero-knowledge scheme published by AmericanFortress designed to make existing seed-based Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana wallets quantum-resistant without requiring holders to move assets or rotate keys. It implements quantum-resistant verification at the blockchain level, turning what would be a massive user-by-user migration into an infrastructure-level upgrade instead. _Developers tracking quantum-resistant wallet schemes can follow ZK-PoSP style approaches on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Investor Says Quantum Threat Could Reshape Financial Security](https://daily.dev/posts/investor-says-quantum-threat-could-reshape-financial-security-muq7x2bmh) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Will Your Organization Take the Quantum Leap in 2026?
