AI Fusion Summary

StarkWare successfully executed an experimental quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on the mainnet without requiring a protocol fork or changes to consensus rules. This workaround demonstrated quantum-resistant spending but faced significant limitations, including costs reaching $200 and the necessity for direct miner submission. Currently, only private mempools, such as MARA's Slipstream, can accept these transactions. The test confirms that quantum-resistant BTC transactions are possible on the existing network, despite the high costs and specific submission requirements.
