According to Protos, Foresight News reports that Bitcoin developer Agustin Cruz published a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) draft called "Quantum Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP)" on the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list. The BIP contains hard fork consensus change code that will force the migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks. If QRAMP gains consensus and is activated in the leading version of the full node software Bitcoin Core, a countdown will begin. By the deadline, if users fail to transfer their coins to a quantum-resistant wallet, Bitcoin Core will reject any transactions attempting to spend funds from Legacy wallets (which would effectively destroy these currencies from BTC circulation). Currently, the BIP is still in the draft stage and has not yet been assigned a BIP number.
