Bitcoin Quantum Resistance: Check the Claim's Status
Use this reference when an announcement claims that Bitcoin, a wallet or an address is quantum resistant. The table records which part of that claim has evidence and which part remains unresolved.
What must a Bitcoin quantum-resistance claim identify?
A Bitcoin quantum-resistance claim should identify the affected spending rules, the network and the software release being discussed. It should then show whether the claim concerns a proposal, an implementation, active network rules or a completed holder migration. Naming a post-quantum algorithm establishes none of those deployment stages by itself; each stage needs evidence with a defined scope.

NIST FIPS 205 specifies a signature algorithm. Its publication is not a notice that Bitcoin has changed its transaction rules. The distinction between a cryptographic specification and a network deployment is the organizing principle of this checklist.
| Stage named in a claim | Evidence to record | Limit of that evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Cryptographic specification | Scheme, variant and intended security role | A standard does not document a Bitcoin deployment |
| Proposal | Current status, scope and unresolved dependencies | A Draft is not an instruction already enforced by the network |
| Software implementation | Exact release and the rules it implements | Available code does not establish network-wide activation |
| Network activation | The network and evidence that relevant rules are enforced | An unrelated fork or test environment does not establish mainnet behavior |
| Holder migration | Supported outputs, signing tools and recovery path | A migration plan does not show that a particular holding has moved |

How should Draft and deployment claims be reported?
Report a Draft as a proposal under development, with the source date and any stated dependencies. Report implementation or deployment only for the exact software and network supported by the evidence. A test, release announcement or migration plan should retain that narrower label until the source establishes the broader claim being made about holders' spending protection.

This reference assigns no current status to an individual Bitcoin proposal. It supplies fields for recording a status check; the linked upgrade explainer discusses the proposal-specific evidence.
SYNX claim scope
As reviewed September 21, 2026, the SYNX whitepaper states: “SynX uses SPHINCS+-SHAKE-128s” and “SynX uses Kyber-768”. The signature and key-encapsulation roles are project claims. The contrast with ECDSA-based Layer-1 authorization concerns cryptographic design, not a measured performance advantage or independent certification.
