🚨 $NEAR IS TAKING ITS NEXT STEP TOWARD QUANTUM-SAFE INFRASTRUCTURE — AND 2027 COULD BE AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE. 👀
$NEAR has already shipped NIST-approved quantum-safe signing on mainnet in July.
Users can rotate their keys in one transaction — no new account and no need to move funds. 🔐
But the bigger challenge is still ahead:
⚙️ Validator consensus.
The team says current post-quantum cryptography is still too heavy for consensus, with a directional target around late 2027, not a locked date.
There’s also another difficult piece:
🔐 Quantum-safe MPC / threshold signing for Chain Signatures across 30+ chains.
No candidate has been selected for that yet.
Ledger and other wallets are also being prepared to support the larger keys.
So the interesting part isn’t just what $NEAR , has already shipped — it’s whether the network can extend quantum resistance into its consensus and cross-chain infrastructure.
🔥 NOW THE QUESTION: CAN $NEAR TURN ITS CURRENT QUANTUM-SAFE SIGNING INTO FULL NETWORK-LEVEL PROTECTION BY 2027 — OR WILL THE CONSENSUS CHALLENGE TAKE LONGER THAN EXPECTED? 👀
🟢 2027 MILESTONE REACHED
🔴 DELAYED
👀 TOO EARLY TO TELL
