StarkWare co-founder and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said Starknet, an Ethereum-secured Layer 2 network, is considering several paths — including a possible move to Layer 1 — so it can control its own security migration process. The stated goal is to prepare for cryptographic risks that could emerge from quantum computing and AI. Ben-Sasson said Starknet is built on ZK-STARKs, which give it cryptographic agility, and that the network has already set out a roadmap for a post-quantum security transition. He added that Ethereum aims to make its Layer 1 fully resistant to quantum attacks by the end of 2029, while Bitcoin has not made a similar commitment. Starknet, he said, could complete a related upgrade as early as 2027. The remarks frame Starknet’s security planning around timelines and trade-offs between relying on Ethereum’s base-layer security and taking greater control over its own upgrade path.
