NEAR Protocol stated on platform X that the team is adding post-quantum cryptography support for the network. NEAR's account model is different from Bitcoin and Ethereum; accounts are decoupled from cryptography and controlled through rotatable access keys.The NEAR One team is adding the NIST-approved lattice-based signature FIPS-204 scheme as the first post-quantum signature option. Once launched, any NEAR account holder can rotate keys through a single transaction, achieving quantum safety. NEAR is also collaborating with software and hardware wallets to advance post-quantum support.Through the chain signature feature, NEAR can provide threshold signatures for over 35 chains. The NEAR Intents team is developing a quantum-safe cross-chain signature solution. If other chains progress slowly in adopting post-quantum cryptography, NEAR can offer a quantum-safe environment. Aspects such as consensus mechanisms, validators, block synchronization, and transaction signatures also need to evolve for the post-quantum era, with the goal of achieving a one-time future-compatible migration.

Particle Network today announced the next phase product roadmap for Universal Accounts, which will launch two new products in the coming months: 1. Universal Deposit SDK: Developers only need about 10 lines of code to allow users to deposit assets from any chain into the application, significantly lowering the threshold for multi-chain asset access. 2. Universal Agent Accounts: An API and Dashboard for AI Agents, enabling AI Agents to own and manage their own Universal Accounts.Previously, Particle released EIP-7702 Universal Accounts in March, supporting any EOA account to upgrade frictionlessly to a Universal Account. This roadmap further strengthens the infrastructure positioning of Universal Accounts in scenarios such as developer integration, AI Agent asset management, and multi-chain asset circulation. Overall, Particle is advancing Universal Accounts from "account abstraction capability" to a broader chain abstraction application layer infrastructure, which is expected to enhance its developer adoption and distribution capabilities within the on-chain ecosystem.

French national Maximilien de Hoop Cartier was sentenced to 8 years in prison by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for operating an unlicensed over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency exchange, assisting in the transfer of over $470 million in drug trafficking and other criminal proceeds through the U.S. financial system to Colombia and other locations, and was ordered to forfeit approximately $2.362 million in commissions and related shell company accounts.Since 2018, Cartier converted cryptocurrency into fiat currency through more than a dozen U.S. shell companies, falsely claiming to banks that he was engaged in software development and forging contracts and invoices to cover the source of funds. After law enforcement agencies seized his accounts in 2021, he still submitted forged documents, resulting in some funds being returned. In October 2025, Cartier pleaded guilty to two charges of operating an unlicensed remittance business and conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
