Briefings
Starknet's community voted overwhelmingly to pursue a standalone post-quantum blockchain, with 93.5% of voting power supporting this direction. This move aims to secure the network against quantum computing threats, though implementation requires further community consensus.
Key points
- Starknet's community voted to pursue a standalone post-quantum blockchain, with 93.5% of voting power supporting this direction.
- Implementation of the post-quantum chain requires additional community consensus beyond the initial vote.
Context
Starknet is a major Ethereum Layer 1 project facing quantum computing threats. The community's decision to explore a standalone chain represents a strategic shift toward post-quantum security.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single community vote; actual implementation requires further consensus. No specific dates for the vote or timeline for post-quantum adoption are provided.
