Hey there, Supabase enthusiasts! We’re thrilled to share some exciting news that’s been highly anticipated in the community. After a lot of hard work and dedication, we’ve just rolled out one of the most requested features for @Supabase Auth: **asymmetric JWTs** and **new API Keys for better security**. It’s a significant leap forward that we think you’re really going to love.

Asymmetric JWTs

So, what exactly are asymmetric JWTs? In simple terms, they add an extra layer of security to your authentication process. Unlike traditional symmetric JWTs that use a single secret key for both signing and verifying tokens, asymmetric JWTs leverage a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. This means you can share the public key with anyone while keeping the private key safe. It enhances security by making it much harder for unauthorized users to forge tokens. You can learn more about JWTs and their benefits on [Auth0’s blog](https://auth0.com/blog/json-web-tokens-what-are-they-and-how-do-they-work/).

New API Keys for Better Security

But that’s not all! We’ve also introduced **new API Keys** designed to bolster your application’s security. With these new keys, you can manage access more effectively, ensuring that only authorized users can interact with your services. This is particularly crucial in today’s digital landscape where security breaches are all too common. You can find more insights on API key security [here](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/API_Security_Top_10#API_Keys).

There Are No Breaking Changes

Now, you might be wondering about the transition. The great news is that there are **no breaking changes**! You can opt in to use the new features today, and if you’re not ready to switch completely, you can easily opt-out of the old keys whenever you want. This means you can take your time to adapt without any stress. Change is hard enough; we want to make this as smooth as possible for you.

Massive Performance Boost

One of the best perks of these updates is the **massive performance boost** you’ll experience. With asymmetric JWTs and the new API keys, your applications will run more efficiently, allowing you to focus on building amazing features rather than worrying about security hiccups.
