Starknet community backs research into independent post-quantum Layer 1

The significance here is less about quantum risk today than about governance direction: Starknet's community is signalling it wants the chain's long-term security architecture addressed at the protocol level, not deferred to wallet or app layers. That matters for builders and validators whose roadmaps assume the current chain design persists. The vote only endorses research, so the real test is whether the November draft whitepaper converts intent into a credible migration path — and whether exploration of an independent Layer 1 implies a structural break from Starknet's present positioning. That scope question is the open one.
