TREE NEWS update: A Starknet governance poll on post-quantum Layer 1 research passed with 93.52% support, though the vote is non-binding and does not approve a network transition. StarkWare said it hopes to release a draft whitepaper on the work in November. The poll signals community backing for studying quantum-resistant cryptography for the network.
Starknet Poll Backs Post-Quantum Layer 1 Research With 93.52% Support
The signal here is directional rather than operational: a non-binding poll with near-unanimous backing gives Starknet's research push a community mandate without committing the network to any migration. That distinction matters, since quantum-resistance work is a long-horizon effort whose cost and disruption would fall on builders and validators if it ever moved beyond study. The November draft whitepaper is the next concrete checkpoint. Whether the poll's lopsided support translates into appetite for an actual transition — and the tradeoffs that would entail — remains the open question.
