Starknet Opens First Vote on Becoming Independent Post-Quantum L1

The vote's significance is procedural rather than technical: it tests whether Starknet's governance can broach a change to the network's fundamental relationship with Ethereum without committing to it. A mandate to research is not a mandate to migrate, and the non-binding framing keeps the option open while exposing how stakers weigh quantum risk against Ethereum alignment. Whether the ballot produces a clear signal, and how the foundation treats a Yes, is the open question.
