TREE NEWS update: Starknet token holders have voted to back research into a blockchain independent of Ethereum, with StarkWare planning to release a draft whitepaper in November. The work will explore an independent, quantum-resistant network, marking a potential shift for the project, which currently operates as an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution.
Starknet voters approve research into independent quantum-resistant chain
The vote signals that Starknet's community is willing to entertain a future beyond its current identity as an Ethereum layer-2, which matters for token holders and for Ethereum's scaling narrative alike. Framing the research around quantum resistance gives the effort a forward-looking rationale, but a vote for a whitepaper is not a decision to migrate. Whether the November draft hardens into a concrete roadmap, and how it would coexist with the existing L2, is the open question.
