Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
NEAR Protocol quantum-safe signing adds ML-DSA, the lattice-based signature scheme specified in FIPS 204, to the blockchain's key model so transactions can be authorized with a post-quantum key rather than only an elliptic-curve one. Delivered in protocol upgrade 2.13, it extends the signature verification path enforced by validators under consensus rules, letting accounts hold quantum-resistant credentials.
