Near Protocol Achieves Quantum-Safe Status with Live Post-Quantum Signature Scheme

Near Protocol has made significant progress in its efforts to become quantum-safe, announcing that its post-quantum signature scheme is now live. This achievement makes Near one of the first blockchains with such a scheme in production.

The upgrade also introduces dynamic resharding, allowing the network to scale itself automatically. Near Protocol believes in agentic commerce and is actively preparing for it by building an open, integrated stack for the agent economy.

A potential rebound for Near ahead? The altcoin has posted losses of almost 3% in the last 24 hours, with its Open Interest sliding by 4.1%. However, a TD Sequential indicator on the 4-hour chart has given a buy signal for Near, which could be a turning point for the bulls.
