Terms & Concepts
  • Quantum-resistant cryptography: Security methods designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers that could break some current cryptographic systems.
  • Bitcoin transaction: A transfer of Bitcoin recorded on the blockchain, using cryptographic signatures to authorize movement of funds.
  • Protocol changes: Modifications to a blockchain network’s core rules, which typically require broad coordination among developers, miners, and users.
