Blockstream Quarterly Update - Q3 2026

Dextape brief

By Dextape Desk · November 5, 2026

Blockstream released its quarterly update for the third quarter of 2026, describing security as the main focus for the company and much of the Bitcoin industry. According to the update, the company moved post-quantum signatures from a Liquid deployment into a draft Bitcoin proposal, issued security patches for Jade, Core Lightning, and Elements, and worked with the Liquid Federation after a September 6 security incident. The report says the Liquid peg and one-to-one backing were restored by November 2, following new safeguards and an independent external audit. Other Q3 work included a rebuilt Blockstream Explorer, 0-conf infrastructure for Liquid, and betas for Blockstream Swaps, the Enterprise Custody Solution, and AMP2 tokenization. The company also said every hardware wallet it tested could produce hash-based post-quantum signatures.

Why it matters: Liquid's recovery and post-quantum work show how network security and long-term cryptography are being addressed in parallel across Bitcoin's sidechain and base-layer tools.
