Starknet Holders Back Study of Move to Quantum-Resistant Layer 1

Starknet (STRK) token holders voted with more than 93.5% of voting power to support a research proposal exploring converting the network from an Ethereum Layer 2 into an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1. StarkWare plans to publish a draft whitepaper in November to further study the technical path. The vote only backs research into the transition and does not formally approve it; any move would require further governance approval.

The near-unanimous vote signals that Starknet's token-holder base is willing to entertain a structural break from Ethereum, even though the ballot only authorizes research. That matters because it puts a major L2's long-term alignment with Ethereum into question at a time when quantum resistance is becoming a talking point. The binding decision, however, remains deferred: the November draft whitepaper and any subsequent governance vote are where the actual direction will be set. Whether the research phase hardens into a formal transition proposal is the open question.
