Starknet Announces Plan to Separate from Ethereum Ahead of Quantum Upgrade

According to U.Today, Starknet has announced plans to sever ties with Ethereum in order to pursue a quantum-secure upgrade targeted for 2027. This decision coincided with a market reaction in which the STRK token experienced a surge of approximately 25 percent across major trading venues.

The move reflects Starknet’s strategic focus on integrating quantum security measures into its infrastructure roadmap. By ending formal associations with Ethereum, Starknet aims to accelerate development toward compatibility with future quantum-resistant protocols. No details were provided regarding timelines for implementation beyond the 2027 target or specifics of technical integration.

The token surge occurred following public disclosure of the separation intent, indicating market responsiveness to the announced shift in governance and technical alignment. U.Today reported the increase as observed in STRK trading across recognized exchanges at the time of announcement.
