Project Eleven’s Q-Day Prize is a cryptographic challenge that requires participants to use Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer to break an elliptic curve cryptographic key, a foundational element of Bitcoin’s security.
Claim
Quotes that support claims
The challenge directly targets the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which underpins bitcoin’s security model.
go to the first team to crack an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer within a year.
