What is BTX?

BTX is a fork of Bitcoin built to survive quantum computers. Where Bitcoin signs transactions with ECDSA (a classical elliptic-curve scheme), BTX uses post-quantum signatures that current quantum hardware cannot break. The chain is otherwise true to Bitcoin: a fixed supply, proof-of-work mining, and self-custodial ownership.

The consensus algorithm uses matmul, matrix multiplication, the same math behind modern AI hardware. That choice makes GPUs a natural fit for mining and keeps the chain open to consumer hardware today.

There are no accounts, no custodian, and no sign-up. You hold your keys, your keys hold your coins. easyBTX mines directly to a wallet you control, on your machine.

BTX is very early. There is no exchange price and no guarantee that what you mine will ever be worth anything. Mine it because you find the technology interesting, not as an investment.
