Starknet Opens Its First Vote on Becoming an Independent Post-Quantum Layer 1

Anyone staking or delegating STRK can now vote on whether Starknet , StarkWare’s Layer 2 on top of Ethereum, should research breaking away to run as a standalone post-quantum blockchain. The non-binding Snapshot poll opened at 09:32 UTC on Oct. 15 and closes at the same time on Oct. 22 .
