Lightning Labs’ Chief Technology Officer, Olaoluwa Osuntokun, proposed a quantum-resistant wallet prototype that addresses a signature scheme vulnerability in the Bitcoin Quantum Defense Initiative. The prototype uses zero-knowledge proofs to let users prove wallet ownership without having to disclose their seed, preventing funds from being locked due to an “emergency brake.” Although the prototype works as intended, there is still a way to go before any formal deployment, and the community has differing views on the assessment of quantum threats.

Taipei District Court has issued a verdict on Ko Wen-je and other defendants involved in the Jinghua City case. Ko Wen-je was sentenced to 17 years in prison. The key issue was whether the "15 million" was actually paid. The court confirmed that the workbook inside the USB was Ko Wen-je's personal record but did not have the legal status of a business ledger, and lacked additional evidence to prove the existence of bribes. No acquittal was separately declared.

BBC reporter Thomas Germain's experiment shows that AI deepfake technology is now difficult to distinguish, with digital forensics expert Hany Farid claiming it's "finished." Even when experts verify a video's authenticity, people may still doubt it. As AI fraud cases surge, especially in crypto markets, the cost of verifying authenticity is high, while creating doubt has become low-cost. Ultimately, the recommendation is to return to old methods: using cryptographic signatures to enhance trust.
