Starknet's community voted with 93.5% in favor to explore becoming an independent layer 1 blockchain designed to resist quantum computing threats. Over 3,200 wallets participated, marking the highest turnout in a Starknet poll. This vote initiates a research phase led by StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation, aiming to produce a draft white paper by November and potentially launch a quantum-safe blockchain by 2027. The move seeks to reduce Starknet's reliance on Ethereum for security, as Ethereum's quantum-safe target is 2029, leaving Starknet exposed to delays in Ethereum's upgrades. Current user experience and token roles remain unchanged during this research phase.
