NEAR Protocol Aims for Quantum-Safe Consensus by End of 2027

NEAR Protocol is working to achieve quantum-safe consensus by the end of 2027, as outlined in its project roadmap. This initiative aims to extend the network's post-quantum design beyond account signatures and address consensus protection.

The timeline for this milestone is directional and subject to research outcomes, meaning that it may be adjusted based on the results of ongoing research.

If achieved, quantum-safe consensus would strengthen NEAR's long-term network-security proposition by covering a broader part of the system's security model.
