項目11推出Q-Day獎金，以測試比特幣的量子阻力

量子計算研究公司項目11發起了一項大膽的競爭，以測試比特幣的危險量子計算機的危險性。 “ Q-Day獎”，

Quantum computing research firm Project 11 has launched a unique competition to test the threat of quantum computers to Bitcoin.

量子計算研究公司項目11發起了一項獨特的競爭，以測試量子計算機對比特幣的威脅。

Announced on April 16, the “Q-Day Prize” will award 1 Bitcoin (BTC) — currently valued at around $84,000— to the first team to break a small portion of a Bitcoin private key using a quantum computer by April 5, 2026.

4月16日宣布的“ Q-Day獎”將授予1比特幣（BTC），目前價值約84,000美元，向第一支球隊授予第一支比特幣，以在2026年4月5日之前使用量子計算機打破一小部分比特幣私鑰。

The Twist: No Classical Shortcuts Allowed

扭曲：不允許古典快捷方式

The mission is to use Shor’s algorithm on a real quantum computer. No classical computing shortcuts or optimizations are allowed to factor the part of the key.

任務是在真實的量子計算機上使用Shor的算法。不允許不允許經典的計算快捷方式或優化來考慮密鑰的一部分。

Even breaking a small portion of a Bitcoin key, e.g., breaking a 100-bit key out of a 256-bit key, would be a huge breakthrough.

例如，即使打破比特幣鑰匙的一小部分，例如，從256位鑰匙中打破100位鑰匙，也是一個巨大的突破。

“Over 10 million Bitcoin addresses have exposed public keys,” Project 11 warned on X. “But no one has benchmarked how real the quantum threat really is.”

第11項目警告說：“超過1000萬比特幣的地址暴露了公共鑰匙。但是，沒有人對量子威脅的真實威脅有多麼真實。”

The goal is to push the boundaries of current quantum computing technology and see if Bitcoin’s elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) can be breached with existing hardware and algorithms.

目的是突破當前量子計算技術的邊界，看看比特幣的橢圓曲線加密（ECC）是否可以用現有的硬件和算法破壞。

Rapid Advancements in Quantum Computing

量子計算的快速進步

Crypto experts like Jameson Lopp and Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino both highlighted the rapid advancements in quantum computing.

詹姆森·洛普（Jameson Lopp）和繩索首席執行官保羅·阿多諾（Paolo Ardoino）等加密專家都強調了量子計算的快速進步。

IBM, AWS, and other platforms are already offering early access to their quantum chips. For instance, IBM’s Heron chip can handle 156 qubits, and Google’s Willow chip can manage 105 qubits.

IBM，AWS和其他平台已經在早期訪問其量子芯片。例如，IBM的蒼鷺芯片可以處理156噸，而Google的Willow芯片可以管理105 QUAT。

Experts estimate that around 2,000 error-corrected qubits would be needed to break a full 256-bit ECC key, which is commonly used in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

專家估計，要打破完整的256位ECC密鑰，將需要大約2,000個錯誤校正的量子位，該密鑰通常用於比特幣等加密貨幣。

No Panic Yet, But Preparation Is Key

還沒有恐慌，但是準備是關鍵

While there’s no need for immediate panic, crypto experts agree that the industry should start preparing for a quantum-secure future.

儘管無需立即恐慌，但加密專家認為，該行業應該開始為量子安全的未來做準備。

Those who believe they can crack a part of a Bitcoin private key using a quantum computer by the deadline should contact Project Eleven via email.

那些認為他們可以使用截止日期的量子計算機來破解比特幣私鑰的一部分的人應通過電子郵件與第11個項目聯繫。

If someone wins the Q-Day Prize, they will not only receive 1 Bitcoin but could also go down in cryptography history with the first known instance of breaking any portion of a standard cryptographic key using a quantum computer.

如果有人贏得了Q-Day獎，他們不僅將獲得1個比特幣，而且還可以在密碼學歷史記錄中下降，這是第一個已知的實例，即使用量子計算機打破標準加密密鑰的任何部分。
