Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360 (BIP 360) has been merged into the official BIP repository, introducing a new Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) output designed to enhance Bitcoin's resistance to future quantum computing threats. P2MR disables the key-path spending method, reducing exposure of public keys and paving the way for future quantum-resistant upgrades. This initiative aligns Bitcoin with global efforts toward quantum-safe cryptographic standards aimed for adoption by the 2030s.
