The feature incorporates a “Multichain Gas Relayer,” eliminating the necessity for the native gas token of another chain for transactions.
The Near Foundation — the nonprofit organization backing the layer-1 Near Protocol — has revealed that the protocol now enables chain signatures. This advancement allows users to access multiple chains using their Near account.
According to a press release, Eigenlayer, a restaking project developed on Ethereum, is now a launch partner with Near, contributing to the security of the chain signatures network.
The Chain Signatures feature is powered by a decentralized multi-party computation (MPC) network and secured by Near network validators.
