GOAT Network(@GOATNetwork):NIST’s final transition report gives elliptic-curve signatures an end date: deprecated after 2030, disallowed after 2035. The schedule doesn’t govern Bitcoin, but the math being retired is the math behind secp256k1, the curve Bitcoin and its layer 2s run on. NIST’s first instruction is the one every migration guide gives: inventory. The inventory GOAT Network follows covers seven cryptographic surfaces, the scheme each runs today, and where each replacement stands:

NIST published the final IR 8547 on 27 Oct. The changes page lists none, so we read the 2024 draft and the final side by side. The dates are still 2030 (deprecate) and 2035 (disallow). What 2030 covers is much wider. 🧵
