【Old Leek Observer】$NEAR Post-quantum upgrade draws attention again! Accounts support ML-DSA, with no need to move assets
On October 10, NEAR’s progress on post-quantum security drew attention.
The key point this time is not hype that “quantum computers will soon break blockchain,” but that NEAR has added support for the post-quantum signature scheme ML-DSA to account signatures.
🔐 What does this mean?
1️⃣ No need to switch accounts or move assets: Users can change their signing keys within their existing account system, without transferring assets to a new address to upgrade their signatures.
2️⃣ Preparing for quantum risks in advance: ML-DSA is a NIST-standardized post-quantum digital signature algorithm designed to withstand the threat that future quantum computers pose to traditional signature mechanisms.
3️⃣ Further upgrades are underway: NEP-655 has entered the testnet phase. Its goal is to reduce public-key exposure through a commitment-based account design; mainnet deployment is still pending.
⚠️ Note: This does not mean the entire NEAR ecosystem is fully post-quantum secure, nor does it mean quantum computers can already break existing blockchains.
Post-quantum security is moving from research into practical account features. Whether other public blockchains will follow suit, and whether wallets and cross-chain infrastructure can support it, remain to be seen.
