⚡ NEAR IS GETTING READY FOR THE QUANTUM ERA
$NEAR has already taken its first major step toward quantum resistance.
In July, NEAR introduced NIST-approved quantum-safe signing on mainnet, allowing users to rotate keys without creating a new account or moving their funds.
But the bigger challenge is still ahead.
NEAR is targeting quantum-safe validator consensus by late 2027, although the timeline is still flexible because post-quantum cryptography remains computationally expensive.
There’s another problem too: making Chain Signatures secure with quantum-resistant MPC and threshold signing across 30+ blockchains.
Meanwhile, wallet providers are preparing for larger quantum-safe keys.
And NEAR isn’t the only network working on this.
Ethereum, Solana and XRP Ledger are also moving toward quantum-resistant infrastructure.
The quantum race may be starting much earlier than most crypto users expected.
