In an official blog post, Coinbase shares technical considerations regarding its transition strategy for Bitcoin to address quantum computing threats. The article points out that quantum computers pose a potential threat to Bitcoin's existing cryptographic system, and migration efforts require years of advance planning. As one of the world's largest cryptocurrency custody institutions, Coinbase holds approximately 5% of the global BTC supply and has already joined the Bitcoin Security Alliance while investing in open-source research support. Key recommendations include adopting flexible output architectures such as P2MR (BIP-360) or P2TRv2 to support the introduction and replacement of post-quantum signature schemes; implementing a 1-of-2 hybrid transition construct that allows funds to retain both classical and post-quantum signature paths simultaneously; prioritizing stateless signature schemes to mitigate state management risks; and requiring candidate schemes to be compatible with Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to meet institutional-grade custody requirements. Coinbase emphasizes that the handling of legacy funds can be discussed in parallel with technical upgrade work and should not hinder the advancement of post-quantum signature support.

multi-chain oracle project Switchboard has announced it is ceasing operations. Switchboard Technology Labs, its core development contributor, will gradually wind down remaining operations, all Switchboard implementations will stop being maintained effective immediately, and remaining support will be terminated on September 25. Protocols using its oracle are required to migrate immediately to alternatives such as Pyth and RedStone.Switchboard stated that AI has reduced the cost of building in-house oracles, the crypto bear market has led to a decline in the number of new public chains and project budgets, and the model of direct collaboration between data providers such as Hyperliquid and S&P shows that protocols may increasingly obtain data directly, thereby weakening the value of third-party oracle networks.
Gate has announced it will fully integrate with Circle's public chain Arc on September 16, covering core Web3 scenarios including Trenches, Gate Wallet, and on-chain market data, providing users with a one-stop experience spanning asset discovery, market tracking, wallet management, and on-chain trading, further expanding Gate's multi-chain Web3 ecosystem layout. Users can log into the Gate App or Gate Web3 related pages to experience Arc on-chain features.Currently, Gate Web3 has completed integration of Arc network's core trading capabilities, supporting Arc on-chain asset market viewing, swaps, and professional trading, and has integrated mainstream Web3 protocols such as Uniswap V2, V3, and V4 to bring in more liquidity. Meanwhile, Gate Wallet supports Arc on-chain asset management and DApp interaction; Gate "Trenches" has also integrated with Arc and exclusively supports 0 Gas transactions, helping users quickly discover trending and newly issued tokens and participate in on-chain trading, further shortening the path from asset discovery to trading.This full integration with Arc is an important step in Gate's continuous strengthening of its multi-chain Web3 infrastructure.

Odaily News: Coinbase announced that it has partnered with Stanford University cryptography professor Dan Boneh and Localhost Research to host a closed-door "Post-Quantum Bitcoin Workshop" at Stanford University, bringing together Bitcoin developers, cryptography experts, researchers, institutional custodians, and hardware wallet specialists to discuss technical and migration solutions for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats.The workshop focused on assessing the progress of quantum computing development, post-quantum cryptography, and different post-quantum signature schemes applicable to Bitcoin, as well as discussing Ethereum's quantum resistance roadmap, practical requirements for institutional custody operations, and how to introduce post-quantum security mechanisms to Bitcoin through new output types and other means. Participants agreed that rather than predicting when quantum computing will pose an actual threat to existing cryptographic systems, it is more important to establish thoroughly tested contingency plans in advance. Quantum computing does not currently pose an imminent crisis, but the earlier research and coordination begins, the better equipped the ecosystem will be to avoid rushed network upgrades and asset migrations under pressure in the future.However, no single post-quantum solution has yet reached consensus. Different approaches involve trade-offs in security, transaction data size, hardware performance, key management, and the difficulty of user migration. Participants noted that Bitcoin's quantum resistance cannot rely solely on protocol-level upgrades—it also requires simultaneous consideration of how individual users, institutional custodians, wallets, and hardware devices generate, store, back up, and migrate keys and assets.
