TREE NEWS update: Starknet has opened its first vote on whether the Ethereum scaling network should research a move to its own independent post-quantum Layer 1 chain. STRK stakers and delegators have until Oct. 22 to cast a ballot, though a “Yes” result would not itself approve the switch.
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.
