Starknet opens vote on potential Ethereum L2 exit over quantum risks
60-second summary
Starknet opens a formal vote for STRK holders to decide whether to pursue an independent layer‑1 launch, aiming to sidestep Ethereum’s uncertain quantum‑security upgrade schedule; the proposal cites potential vulnerabilities if quantum computers break current cryptography. If approved, the move could reshape Starknet’s roadmap, attract developers seeking security certainty, and pressure Ethereum’s timeline, influencing broader L2 market dynamics.
Starknet is asking STRK holders whether to explore becoming an independent layer-1 blockchain to reduce its dependence on Ethereum’s quantum-security upgrade timeline.
