Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #403 Recap Podcast
Olaoluwa Osuntokun demonstrated a practical implementation of post-quantum BIP86 recovery using zk-STARK proofs via the RISC Zero platform, allowing users to prove ownership of a BIP32 seed to recover coins if secp256k1 is compromised.

Why It Matters
Provides a potential technical pathway for recovering Bitcoin funds in a post-quantum scenario where traditional elliptic curve signatures are broken, without requiring immediate consensus changes.
