Project Eleven’s QDay Prize Offers 1 Bitcoin for Breaking Elliptic Curve Cryptography Using Shor’s Algorithm

Project Eleven (P11) has announced the QDay Prize, an open competition offering a reward of one Bitcoin (current value about $85,000) for demonstrating the ability to break elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) using Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer. Participants must submit quantum programs that directly solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) without relying […]
