Starknet opens 7-day poll on leaving Ethereum for a post-quantum L1

Starknet published a governance post with a non-binding poll inviting STRK holders to share their views on whether the network should leave Ethereum and pursue a path toward becoming an independent post-quantum L1. The 7-day poll opened on the day of announcement and is exploratory and advisory, with no decision taken yet.

• Part of Starknet's broader quantum-resilience push, which includes post-quantum account signing on testnet and a roadmap for moving its own surfaces to post-quantum primitives.
• The proposal frames self-sovereignty and post-quantum security as a potential long-term direction for the network.
• The vote drew attention the same week StarkWare shipped Shadow Accounts as part of its wider product push.
