NEAR Token Gains About 35% as Network Plans Dynamic Resharding Upgrade

The article says NEAR aims to launch dynamic resharding (adjusting blockchain capacity automatically) by the end of June, while version 2.13 will add post-quantum signatures (cryptography designed for quantum threats) and support for AI agents (autonomous software tools).

Summary

NEAR rose about 35% over the past week, according to the article, as attention centered on upcoming network upgrades and broader platform capabilities. The report says NEAR plans to introduce dynamic resharding (adjusting blockchain capacity automatically) by the end of June, a scaling approach intended to help a blockchain distribute workload more efficiently as demand changes. It also says version 2.13 will add post-quantum signatures (cryptography designed for quantum threats), a security feature aimed at strengthening resilience against future computing risks, and support for AI agents (autonomous software tools), which can expand blockchain-based automation and machine-driven interactions.

Terms & Concepts
  • Dynamic resharding: A blockchain scaling method that adjusts how network workload is split across shards, helping capacity respond more flexibly to changing demand.
  • Post-quantum signatures: Digital signature methods designed to remain secure even against future quantum computing capabilities.
  • AI agents: Autonomous software systems that can perform tasks, make decisions, or interact with blockchain applications programmatically.
