Starknet initiates vote on possible exit from Ethereum L2 amid quantum security concerns

According to Cointelegraph, Starknet is requesting input from STRK token holders regarding the possibility of transitioning to an independent layer-1 blockchain. The proposal aims to decrease reliance on Ethereum’s planned quantum‑security upgrade timeline.

The vote will allow STRK holders to decide whether Starknet should pursue becoming a standalone layer‑1 network in response to concerns about quantum risks affecting its current relationship with Ethereum.
