Starknet weighs shift to standalone Layer 1 for quantum resistance
Starknet is considering a transition to an independent Layer 1 blockchain to manage its own security upgrades, The Block reported, citing Starknet co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson. Current Layer 2 networks rely on Ethereum’s underlying security technology, and Ben-Sasson said Starknet could achieve resistance to quantum computing attacks by 2027.
