An EVM address is the last 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash of the secp256k1 public key, so an account that has only received funds has not revealed its key. The first transaction an externally owned account sends carries an ECDSA signature from which the public key is recovered, and it stays exposed for the life of the account. Contracts and smart accounts have no key of their own; exposure sits with whichever keys are authorised to control them.

Quantum-safe path
None live

Not live. Optimism published A Post-Quantum Roadmap for the Superchain on 14 January 2026: by January 2036 ECDSA-signed EOA transactions are to be deprecated on OP Mainnet and participating OP Stack chains, with EOAs delegating to smart contract accounts via EIP-7702 that verify post-quantum signatures, sequencer and batch submission moving off ECDSA, and a coordinated hard fork once the ecosystem converges on a scheme. The post says users need take no action today.

No published exposure measurement yet

No chain-specific measurement of the share of supply in accounts with an exposed key was found. The exposure model is the same as Ethereum (EOA key revealed on first send), so a figure can be computed from this chain's own state, but no published study was located. Gas is paid in ETH; OP is a governance token.
