The Open Leaderboard Passes 60% Ahead of Google, and Overtakes the Best Private Circuit

The ECDSA.fail frontier reached 60.9% ahead of Google's benchmark circuit, with a best score of 1,170,580,266 (915,947 Toffoli gates on 1,278 logical qubits). A separate low-qubit record now stands at 813 logical qubits, below the 835 of the July academic design that held the previous width record. The board has drawn 493 promoted submissions from 125 solvers.

Two things are worth noting. The open, public frontier has now passed the best privately held result: doubleAI's WarpSpeed circuit scored 1.20 billion when published on August 15 with a zero-knowledge proof instead of open code, and the public board overtook it about a week later. And Eigen Labs has generalized the format into [Yukon](https://www.yukon.org/), a platform for running the same open "autoresearch" competitions on other technical problems. The algorithmic cost of Q-Day is being driven down in public, faster than any single lab has managed in private, while the coins the attack targets remain unmigrated.
