Starknet opened a seven-day vote on Thursday with a straightforward question: should the project begin researching a Layer 1 separate from its current architecture, specifically designed to address post-quantum computing risks. The vote is open to STRK holders, who will decide whether this direction is worth pursuing further.
It's worth noting that this vote isn't asking "should we upgrade" — it's asking "should we start researching." Starknet hasn't put forward any concrete technical proposal or timeline at this stage. Instead, it's handing the first call back to token holders: is it worth committing resources to evaluate building a standalone chain to address the security risks quantum computing could pose.
No further details have been officially released regarding the vote results, the scope of follow-up research, or a possible timeline.
