Starknet Exploring Quantum-Resistant Upgrade
Starknet, a layer-2 network for Ethereum, has initiated a non-binding vote to explore becoming an independent layer-1 blockchain to reduce its dependence on Ethereum's quantum-security upgrade timeline. The vote, open for seven days, offers three options: support further research, oppose it, or remain neutral pending more information. StarkWare, the developer behind Starknet, suggests this move could allow the network to pursue quantum-resistant security without relying on Ethereum's upgrade schedule.
