Quantum Safe Technologies to Open-Source qBTC Sidechain, Brings in Jameson Lopp as Advisor

Quantum Safe Technologies (QST) has made waves ahead of Bitcoin 2025 by announcing plans to open-source its qBTC sidechain, a security-focused protocol designed to future-proof Bitcoin against quantum threats. To add further credibility and momentum to the project, QST has also brought on Bitcoin advocate Jameson Lopp as a strategic advisor.

Why is this important?

The qBTC sidechain aims to make Bitcoin quantum-resistant, addressing long-term concerns that quantum computing could one day compromise existing cryptography. By going open-source, QST invites the broader Bitcoin and developer community to audit, improve, and integrate the technology — a crucial step toward adoption.

With Lopp’s involvement, the project also gains strategic insight and trust from Bitcoin maximalists, bridging the gap between traditional Bitcoiners and cutting-edge research in security. If successful, qBTC could become a key layer in Bitcoin’s resilience for the next generation.
