Starknet Votes for Transition to Independent L1 Blockchain

Voting on the transition to an independent L1 blockchain has begun in Starknet. STRK token holders are deciding whether to explore the possibility of breaking away from Ethereum.

The initiative is linked to the need for quantum threat protection for the blockchain infrastructure. The voting process will last one week.

Essence of the Initiative

• The vote is preliminary and does not signify a final decision to switch.
• With majority support, developers will begin research and prepare proposals.
• The STRK token remains primary; no new cryptocurrency issuance is planned.
