A powerful combination for future-proofing your assets.\n\nRead how NEAR is preparing for the quantum computing era: \nhttps://www.near.org/blog/making-near... \n\nNEAR is the Blockchain for AI\nWebsite: https://near.org/\nNEAR AI: https://near.ai/\nIntents: https://near.org/intents\nChain Abstraction: https://www.proximity.dev/\nSharding: https://nearone.org/\n\nFor the devs\nGitHub: https://github.com/near \nDev Docs: https://docs.near.org/\nDevhub: https://devhub.near.page/ @NEARDevHub\n\nConnect with socials\nTwitter:   / nearprotocol  \nBlog: https://near.org/blog/\nMedium:   / nearprotocol  \n#NEAR #nearprotocol #NEARAI","channel_name":"NEAR Protocol","published_at":"2026-08-10T00:00:00.000Z","thumbnail_url":"https://img.youtube.com/vi/RnV0lVz7PyI/hqdefault.jpg","transcript_text":"The interesting thing because near has been enabling ability to hold assets from other chains through our chain signature and through near and dance. This means that now in your near account you can have bitcoin, you can have salana, you can have etheum, you can have some uh other assets real stable coins etc. And with this addition, you can secure your near account with postquantum crypto key. You can store that seed phrase, you know, somewhere in the ground uh and not touch it again and not worry about other assets because effectively the transitions as they happen on other chains will be happening by the near protocol upgrades themselves instead of you needing to manually move assets on other chains. So effectively they'll be moved for you as protocol upgrades. And so that's kind of an important and noble way especially paired with confidentiality. You actually can store your Bitcoin, your Ethereum, your Salana, your stable coins all in a confidential shardon and be safe uh effectively as those protocols upgrade without needing to do anything on your side. So be safe is post quantum cryptography.","transcript_synced_at":"2026-11-03T04:23:47.995Z","segments":[{"start_seconds":4,"text":"The interesting thing because near has been enabling ability to hold assets from other chains through our chain signature and through near and dance.","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnV0lVz7PyI&t=4s"},{"start_seconds":14,"text":"This means that now in your near account you can have bitcoin, you can have salana, you can have etheum, you can have some uh other assets real","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnV0lVz7PyI&t=14s"},{"start_seconds":23,"text":"stable coins etc. And with this addition, you can secure your near account with postquantum crypto key.
