项目11推出Q-Day奖金，以测试比特币的量子阻力

量子计算研究公司项目11发起了一项大胆的竞争，以测试比特币的危险量子计算机的危险性。 “ Q-Day奖”，

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

量子计算研究公司项目11发起了一项独特的竞争，以测试量子计算机对比特币的威胁。

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奖”将授予1比特币（BTC），目前价值约84,000美元，向第一支球队授予第一支比特币，以在2026年4月5日之前使用量子计算机打破一小部分比特币私钥。

The Twist: No Classical Shortcuts Allowed

扭曲：不允许古典快捷方式

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.

任务是在真实的量子计算机上使用Shor的算法。不允许不允许经典的计算快捷方式或优化来考虑密钥的一部分。

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，即使打破比特币钥匙的一小部分，例如，从256位钥匙中打破100位钥匙，也是一个巨大的突破。

“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项目警告说：“超过1000万比特币的地址暴露了公共钥匙。但是，没有人对量子威胁的真实威胁有多么真实。”

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.

目的是突破当前量子计算技术的边界，看看比特币的椭圆曲线加密（ECC）是否可以用现有的硬件和算法破坏。

Rapid Advancements in Quantum Computing

量子计算的快速进步

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）和绳索首席执行官保罗·阿多诺（Paolo Ardoino）等加密专家都强调了量子计算的快速进步。

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和其他平台已经在早期访问其量子芯片。例如，IBM的苍鹭芯片可以处理156吨，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.

专家估计，要打破完整的256位ECC密钥，将需要大约2,000个错误校正的量子位，该密钥通常用于比特币等加密货币。

No Panic Yet, But Preparation Is Key

还没有恐慌，但是准备是关键

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

尽管无需立即恐慌，但加密专家认为，该行业应该开始为量子安全的未来做准备。

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.

那些认为他们可以使用截止日期的量子计算机来破解比特币私钥的一部分的人应通过电子邮件与第11个项目联系。

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.

如果有人赢得了Q-Day奖，他们不仅将获得1个比特币，而且还可以在密码学历史记录中下降，这是第一个已知的实例，即使用量子计算机打破标准加密密钥的任何部分。
