The @NEARProtocol is becoming post-quantum-safe. See below for the roadmap to quantum safety, starting with adding a quantum-secure signing scheme in Q2. We originally built the protocol with expectation cryptography will need to change due to progress in quantum computing. We knew there would be a need to expand the cryptography set, so NEAR allows multiple signing schemes by design and users will be able to use whichever one they prefer. We also design NEAR account model to not depend on any particular cryptography and allow to manage keys as "devices". We’re proactively releasing the first quantum-safe signing scheme this spring, the first of many. Allowing wallets and partners to add support to it and users to secure their accounts early. We want to give users as much time as possible to rotate their keys in a proactive way and have piece of mind. In parallel Near One is going to upgrade cryptography across secure the rest of the protocol. More to come on this, but I'm excited for these steps and I feel NEAR is well-positioned to lead in the quantum transition for our space.
