Before you ask how much your Bitcoin can earn on another chain, I think you should ask this first. Will the proofs that secure that chain still hold up years from now? Let’s look at why one should ask this question. Bitcoin's signatures are built on elliptic curve math. A quantum algorithm called Shor's algorithm is designed to attack that kind of math. So when people talk about a quantum threat to Bitcoin, they mean forged signatures. They do not mean someone reading a balance that was already public. strkBTC lets you bring Bitcoin onto Starknet and keep your exposure as BTC. You are not selling it for another asset. You are placing it on a network whose proving system was built on a different foundation. That system is called STARKs, and StarkWare published it in 2018. It uses hash based commitments, not elliptic curve math. Shor's algorithm targets the elliptic curve kind. It does not target the hash assumption STARKs use. So the part that verifies Starknet's transactions sat outside the main quantum threat from the start. A chain whose proofs rely on elliptic curves would have to replace that layer later. Starknet's did not. So if you hold Bitcoin for the long term and you are looking at strkBTC, here is the what happens here. The proofs underneath were built on hash based assumptions from day one. Accounts have a path to stronger signatures when you are ready. There is no completed migration and no quantum proof guarantee. The team publishes the open items on purpose. Bridge risk, smart contract risk, liquidity risk and market risk all still apply and funds can be lost. Returns are not guaranteed. Only use what you understand. Would you trust a chain more because it shows its unfinished work in public? @Starknet
