项目11提供了1个BTC，用于破解比特币的公钥，从而提高了量词后威胁讨论的最前沿

项目11再次提出了一个问题，即在量子计算时代，有弹性比特币的加密基础是如何的。

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个项目是一个集体，专注于探索加密货币和技术的界限，它在关于最重要的加密资产的建筑脆弱性的引人入胜且基本的讨论中提供了1 BTC，并有可能在实验上确认或否认Qualtum后威胁的现实。

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.

面对量子计算，有11个项目阐明了比特币弹性的关键方面，他们突出了做出的几种关键建筑选择。

"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."

“比特币的创建者选择了椭圆曲线加密（ECC），而不是RSA等传统加密方案。ECC提供的安全性与RSA相同，但具有较小的密钥尺寸，使其更有效。256位ECC键提供与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，这就提出了一个问题，即如果我们最终在量子计算中看到了重大突破，那么ECC的真正耐受性如何。量子机使用Qubits而不是经典位运行，从理论上讲，与传统系统相比，其计算能力呈指数级扩展。

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.

为什么这很重要？因为即使是最安全的算法，也最终也可以受到蛮力。使用古典计算机，即使是大量的超级计算集群也需要天文学的时间表才能这样做，这在实践中基本上是无关紧要的。

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.

至少从理论上讲，量子计算机可以克服这一限制。首先考虑到这种可能性的那一刻，量词后威胁就成为了一个认真的讨论，不仅是比特币，而且对于整个全球加密基础设施。不难想象如果发生这种转变，可能会不断发展的混乱，尽管目前的关注仍然是理论上的，但紧迫性的越来越大。

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

这是Qday奖获得的地方 - 2026年4月6日的截止日期为1 BTC奖励。

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.

任务：使用量子计算机上的Shor算法打破最大的ECC密钥。没有古典快捷方式。没有混合技巧。纯量子功率。

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:

量子计算机仍处于起步阶段，但正在取得进展。像IBM，Google和AWS这样的主要参与者正在积极开发系统，行业正在向前发展。项目11为参与者提供了几个澄清：

* 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奖将全部授予第一个个人或团队，以完全考虑到最大的ECC密钥，仅在2026年4月6日在00:00 UTC之前仅使用量子计算机和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.

*术语“最大”是由密钥的主要因素的大小定义的。例如，一个具有128位主要因素的256位键将小于具有128位主要因素的255位键。

* 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.

*只有直接在量子计算机上执行的计算才能被视为对奖品有效。经典计算，例如用于生成素数或模块化凸起的计算，可以为量子计算做准备，但不会计入奖品。

* 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.

*还允许使用量子和经典计算的混合方法，但是必须在量子计算机上执行最终分解步骤才能获得奖品的资格。

* 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.

*密钥的完整分解必须在2026年4月6日在00:00 UTC提交为第11个项目，以便对奖品有效。

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.

第十一项目的这一举措肯定会激发对比特币体系结构基本方面的讨论和兴趣，以及量子计算对加密货币行业和整个世界的潜在影响。
