Starknet weighs splitting from Ethereum over quantum threat
- —The vote approved only research, not a split from Ethereum
- —Independence would speed up quantum-safe signatures but remove Ethereum's security layer
- —StarkWare says part of transaction control is already quantum-resistant
- —STRK and ties to Ethereum would remain under any outcome
Why it matters: A precedent of an L2 leaving Ethereum would show whether rollups will trade security for post-quantum readiness.
