Starknet Considers Leaving Ethereum for Quantum-Resistant L1
STRK holders are voting on whether to explore making Starknet an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1, potentially departing from Ethereum — though the vote only authorizes research, not an actual split.
What we know
An account on X RTs Altcoinbuzzio's breakdown of the live STRK governance vote running until October 22. The initiative stems from concerns about quantum computing threats to blockchain security, with Starknet's co-founder Eli Ben explaining the quantum risk.
