I followed a couple of talks by Jonas Nick on post-quantum safe bitcoin, and i'm starting to fall into the hash-based signatures rabbit-hole. Jonas has authored a great paper on it here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/2203.pdf.
I've asked gemini to summarize it and provide visual representations, and it produced a TLDR gist here: https://gist.github.com/a1denvalu3/c025ab2799cc4a1a8c41ce97cf1fa796
