項目11提供了1個BTC，用於破解比特幣的公鑰，從而提高了量詞後威脅討論的最前沿

項目11再次提出了一個問題，即在量子計算時代，有彈性比特幣的加密基礎是如何的。

Project Eleven, a collective focused on exploring the boundaries of cryptocurrency and technology, is offering 1 BTC in an engaging and fundamental discussion about the architectural vulnerabilities of the most important crypto asset—and the possibility of experimentally confirming or denying the reality of the post-quantum threat.

第11個項目是一個集體，專注於探索加密貨幣和技術的界限，它在關於最重要的加密資產的建築脆弱性的引人入勝且基本的討論中提供了1 BTC，並有可能在實驗上確認或否認Qualtum後威脅的現實。

As Project Eleven sheds light on a critical aspect of Bitcoin's resilience in the face of quantum computing, they highlight several key architectural choices that were made.

面對量子計算，有11個項目闡明了比特幣彈性的關鍵方面，他們突出了做出的幾種關鍵建築選擇。

"The creators of Bitcoin opted for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) over traditional cryptographic schemes like RSA. ECC provides the same level of security as RSA but with much smaller key sizes, making it more efficient. A 256-bit ECC key offers the same security as a 3072-bit RSA key—a huge efficiency gain."

“比特幣的創建者選擇了橢圓曲線加密（ECC），而不是RSA等傳統加密方案。ECC提供的安全性與RSA相同，但具有較小的密鑰尺寸，使其更有效。256位ECC鍵提供與3072位RSA KEY相同的安全性。”

However, this begs the question of how resistant ECC really is if we eventually see a major breakthrough in quantum computing. Quantum machines, operating using qubits rather than classical bits, theoretically scale their computational power exponentially compared to traditional systems.

但是，這就提出了一個問題，即如果我們最終在量子計算中看到了重大突破，那麼ECC的真正耐受性如何。量子機使用Qubits而不是經典位運行，從理論上講，與傳統系統相比，其計算能力呈指數級擴展。

Why does this matter? Because even the most secure algorithm can eventually be brute-forced. With classical computers, even massive supercomputing clusters would require astronomically long timescales to do so—making the threat largely irrelevant in practice.

為什麼這很重要？因為即使是最安全的算法，也最終也可以受到蠻力。使用古典計算機，即使是大量的超級計算集群也需要天文學的時間表才能這樣做，這在實踐中基本上是無關緊要的。

Quantum computers, at least in theory, could overcome this limitation. The moment this possibility was first conceived, the post-quantum threat became a serious discussion—not just for Bitcoin, but for the entire global encryption infrastructure. It's not difficult to imagine the chaos that could unfold if such a shift were to occur, and although the concern remains theoretical for now, it's being addressed with increasing urgency.

至少從理論上講，量子計算機可以克服這一限制。首先考慮到這種可能性的那一刻，量詞後威脅就成為了一個認真的討論，不僅是比特幣，而且對於整個全球加密基礎設施。不難想像如果發生這種轉變，可能會不斷發展的混亂，儘管目前的關注仍然是理論上的，但緊迫性的越來越大。

This is where the QDay Prize comes in—a 1 BTC reward offered with a deadline of April 6, 2026.

這是Qday獎獲得的地方 - 2026年4月6日的截止日期為1 BTC獎勵。

The mission: break the largest ECC key possible using Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer. No classical shortcuts. No hybrid tricks. Pure quantum power.

任務：使用量子計算機上的Shor算法打破最大的ECC密鑰。沒有古典快捷方式。沒有混合技巧。純量子功率。

Quantum computers are still in their infancy, but progress is being made. Major players like IBM, Google, and AWS are actively developing systems, and the industry is moving forward. Project Eleven offers several clarifications for participants:

量子計算機仍處於起步階段，但正在取得進展。像IBM，Google和AWS這樣的主要參與者正在積極開發系統，行業正在向前發展。項目11為參與者提供了幾個澄清：

* The BTC prize will be awarded in full to the first individual or team to completely factor the largest ECC key possible using only a quantum computer and Shor’s algorithm by April 6, 2026, at 00:00 UTC.

* BTC獎將全部授予第一個個人或團隊，以完全考慮到最大的ECC密鑰，僅在2026年4月6日在00:00 UTC之前僅使用量子計算機和Shor's算法。

* The term "largest" is defined by the size of the prime factors of the key. For instance, a 256-bit key with 128-bit prime factors would be smaller than a 255-bit key with 128-bit prime factors.

*術語“最大”是由密鑰的主要因素的大小定義的。例如，一個具有128位主要因素的256位鍵將小於具有128位主要因素的255位鍵。

* Only computations performed directly on a quantum computer will be considered valid for the prize. Classical computations, such as those used to generate primes or modular exponentiation, are permitted in preparation for the quantum computations but will not count towards the prize.

*只有直接在量子計算機上執行的計算才能被視為對獎品有效。經典計算，例如用於生成素數或模塊化凸起的計算，可以為量子計算做準備，但不會計入獎品。

* A hybrid approach combining quantum and classical computations is also allowed, but the final factorization step must be performed on a quantum computer to be eligible for the prize.

*還允許使用量子和經典計算的混合方法，但是必須在量子計算機上執行最終分解步驟才能獲得獎品的資格。

* The complete factorization of the key must be submitted to Project Eleven by April 6, 2026, at 00:00 UTC to be valid for the prize.

*密鑰的完整分解必須在2026年4月6日在00:00 UTC提交為第11個項目，以便對獎品有效。

This initiative from Project Eleven is sure to spark discussion and interest in a fundamental aspect of Bitcoin's architecture and the potential implications of quantum computing for the cryptocurrency industry and the world at large.

第十一項目的這一舉措肯定會激發對比特幣體系結構基本方面的討論和興趣，以及量子計算對加密貨幣行業和整個世界的潛在影響。
