NEAR Protocol has introduced support for the post-quantum ML-DSA signature algorithm and is advancing NEP-655, a feature aimed at reducing public-key exposure to protect account security against future quantum computing threats. NEP-655, currently live on testnet and expected on mainnet soon, creates implicit accounts from hashed initial states to avoid exposing public keys on-chain. The development also includes scalable signature mechanisms and a recovery system for blockchains without post-quantum key support, enhancing overall blockchain security.
