The Future is NEAR 💎

MyNearWallet is sunsetting on 31 Oct 2026 🚨

MyNearWallet is being phased out as NEAR consolidates around actively maintained wallets. From October, it moves to reduced, recovery-focused functionality.

☑ Your funds are safe. Your tokens, staking, and NFTs live on the NEAR blockchain, not in the wallet app.

🌟Preparing NEAR for the Quantum Era

Quantum computing is a threat to every blockchain protocol. NEAR's architecture already makes accounts and assets more quantum-secure than most chains.

The Near One team is adding FIPS-204 (ML-DSA), a NIST-approved lattice-based signature scheme, as the first post-quantum signing option on NEAR.

Once live, any NEAR account holder can rotate their keys to become quantum-safe with a single transaction.

The NEAR Intents team is working on quantum-safe Chain Signatures for users across ecosystems. If other chains are slow to adopt post-quantum cryptography, NEAR can offer a quantum-safe environment.
