Gate News message. On March 31, the Bitcoin developer community is advancing a Bitcoin improvement proposal BIP360 (Pay to Merkle Root) aimed at strengthening Bitcoin’s resistance to quantum attacks. The relevant testnets have been deployed. According to information from Bitcoin Magazine, the corresponding code was submitted on February 11 and passed verification, signaling that the Bitcoin community is making technical preparations and upgrading defenses in advance to address potential quantum computing threats.

Gate News reports that on March 27, according to BlockSec monitoring, a suspicious transaction targeting an unknown contract (Stake) occurred on the BSC chain, resulting in a loss of approximately $133,000. The root cause was an exploitable dependence on spot prices in the Stake contract.

BTQ Technologies announced on March 19 that it successfully implemented BIP 360 on its Bitcoin Quantum Testnet v0.3.0, launching the Pay-to-Merkle-Root transaction format to address quantum computing threats. The testnet has connected over 50 miners, processed over 100,000 blocks, and supports P2MR transaction functionality.

AI operations platform Deeptrace announced on March 17 that it completed a $5 million seed round of financing, incubated by Y Combinator. Its core product, AI SRE Agent, can quickly identify the root cause of failures and automatically generate repair solutions. Existing customers include Opendoor and Mintlify.

Gate News Report, March 12 — According to BlockSec monitoring, suspicious transactions targeting the DBXen_crypto contract were detected, estimated to have caused losses of approximately $150,000. The root cause is the inconsistency in the sender's identity in the ERC2771 meta-transaction, which allows attackers to manipulate the reward settlement logic and steal assets from the contract.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) proposes a governance plan requiring token holders to lock WLFI for at least 180 days to be eligible to vote. The draft sets staking tiers: staking 10 million WLFI can become a "Node," while staking 50 million WLFI can upgrade to a "Super Node" and receive additional incentives. Voting rights are based on a square root model to reduce the influence of whales. The plan aims to encourage long-term participation and reduce speculation. The official voting date will be announced later.

Foresight News reports that, according to CertiK monitoring, the privacy gaming project FOOMCASH experienced a vulnerability exploitation event (or white-hat rescue operation) in its lottery contract, involving approximately $1.8 million. The root cause of the vulnerability may be related to its Groth16 verifier setup, allowing attackers to repeatedly collect ZOOM tokens when all other inputs remain the same.

Bitcoin Core developer Murch announces that BIP 360 (Pay to Merkle Root) has officially entered the Improvement Proposal repository, marking Bitcoin's first inclusion of a quantum-resistant technical roadmap. The proposal, authored by Hunter Beast and others, is currently under review and discussion, and the protocol change has not yet been activated.

February 14 News, the Bitcoin community has recently engaged in intense discussions about post-quantum security upgrades. With the exposure of the BIP-360 proposal, core developers plan to implement a soft fork to introduce stronger resistance to quantum attacks for Taproot-based addresses. This proposal is seen as an important step for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats and has become a focal point of current market attention. The core goal of BIP-360 is to reduce the risk of exposing public keys in Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) addresses during transactions. The scheme will remove the "key-to-spend" path and introduce a Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) structure, enabling verification without exposing the public key. Since Taproot was widely adopted after its launch in 2021, related risks were initially overlooked but are now recognized as potential systemic vulnerabilities.

ChainCatcher message, according to related page information, Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360 (BIP-360) has been added to the official code repository. This proposal introduces the Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) output type, aimed at enhancing Bitcoin's defense against quantum computing threats through a soft fork.
