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. Polygon docs describe PoS as an EVM-compatible proof-of-stake sidechain for Ethereum. No Polygon Labs post-quantum roadmap for the PoS chain was found as of 2026-09-17. Polygon Miden, a separate STARK-based network, is not the PoS chain.

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.
