Bitcoin’s post-quantum migration will be harder than Taproot and needs to start now, Project Eleven CEO says

Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden asserts that Bitcoin developers must shift their focus from researching post-quantum signature schemes to actively implementing them in production. He emphasizes the critical asymmetry between taking action today and waiting for more certain timelines regarding quantum-computing hardware. Pruden suggests that the proactive approach is essential for Bitcoin's long-term security, further noting that this post-quantum migration is anticipated to be a more complex undertaking than previous significant protocol upgrades, such as Taproot.
