This is an interesting example of part of the Quip Network design:

Quantum computers can get a 2x speedup when mining BTC block hashes, so there's a vulnerability where quantum attackers can 26% attack the chain & reorg UTXOs out of a quantum-resistant quip address

Antpool just reorged an F2Pool block containing four non-standard oversized op_returns.

Similarly in proof of stake networks, there are various committee poisoning & validator griefing attacks that can be executed if you can steal validators' private keys & sign malicious attestations: slashing validator stakes & committing block reorgs within the limits of finality

To combat this, the Quip Network provides $QUIP incentives to miners who reject forks which don't include a post-quantum quip tx in favor of a fork that does

This is similar to the Ethereum concept of an uncle block, subtly encouraging soft forks in favor of quantum-resistance

Some nice side effects are that $QUIP

- can help prevent quantum reorganization attacks on every chain
- every chain acts as mutually reinforcing evidence of concurrent block time, and
- the most recent quantum-resistant states checkpointed on each network become interlocked

There's some other cool stuff we can do with this involving cross-chain interop as well, because we use Winternitz One Time Signatures, but we can talk about that another time

Stay tuned! 👀 pq 👀
