BIP-361 is a proposal aimed at protecting Bitcoin from future quantum computing threats. It suggests a plan to phase out older, vulnerable wallet types and move users toward quantum-resistant addresses.

The concern is that powerful quantum computers could eventually break older cryptographic signatures and access coins stored in early Bitcoin addresses — including potentially large dormant holdings like Satoshi’s. BIP-361 is designed as a defensive measure to prevent that scenario before it becomes a real risk.
