Nonce (account)

Sequence number on account-based chains preventing replay—part of Ethereum-style transaction structure, not a PQC primitive.

Definition

Account nonces order transactions from an EOA. They are essential for replay protection in account models.

Nonces do not provide quantum resistance; signature algorithms do.
