Starknet Opens Seven-Day Poll on Studying a Standalone Quantum-Resistant L1

Starknet’s community has opened a seven-day, nonbinding poll asking STRK holders whether the network should study a move to an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1 that could reduce its reliance on Ethereum. Starknet uses hash-based STARK proofs and native account abstraction. Its core protocol is quantum-resistant, and user accounts can adopt quantum-resistant signatures without a protocol upgrade. The network’s cross-chain bridge and data availability still rely on Ethereum, tying those components to Ethereum’s progress on quantum-resistant upgrades. A standalone network is being considered as a way to remove that dependency.
