Starknet said on X that during Token2049, Eli Ben-Sasson raised the question of whether the network should transition into a standalone Layer 1 to advance a quantum-secure network. A first non-binding community vote, which ended on Oct. 22, showed strong support for studying the proposal. The vote did not authorize a migration, nor did it settle on any specific plan for building an L1. Starknet said a joint working group formed by StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation is now examining the proposal’s technical benefits, security assumptions, trade-offs, and broader implications. The group is expected to publish a research paper for community review. The update makes clear that the process remains at the research stage, with no formal approval yet for a network transition.
