StarkWare, the main developer behind Ethereum layer-2 network Starknet, said a week of AI-assisted coding cut the estimated computing cost of preparing a quantum-resistant bitcoin transaction to $66 from about $320 in August, as reported by CoinDesk’s Shaurya Malwa.

“The method is an emergency option for moving eligible coins if the quantum threat arrives before Bitcoin adopts a broader fix,” Malwa wrote. “A lower bill could make the option more practical.”
