Starknet community backs research into independent post-quantum Layer 1

  • —Community vote approved research into a post-quantum L1 for Starknet
  • —Draft whitepaper on the new architecture is due in November
  • —The plan envisions a standalone network rather than an upgrade to the current L2
Why it matters: If the research advances, Starknet could shift from an L2 to a standalone L1 built on quantum-resistant cryptography.
