Key Highlights: StarkWare is considering transitioning Starknet into a standalone Layer 1 blockchain to accelerate defenses against quantum computing threats. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson advocates for reaching full quantum resilience by 2027, outpacing Ethereum’s projected 2029 timeline. A formal shift to Layer 1 requires new technical proposals, a detailed roadmap, and governance approvals, with no ...
Key Highlights Starknet’s native token, $STRK, surged 322.26% over an approximately 28-day window from Sept. 13 to Oct. 11, significantly outpacing bitcoin and ether. On-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) activity saw massive expansion, jumping from $6.3 million on Sept. 14 to $41.4 million on Oct. 10, while total value locked (TVL) rose 5.1%. StarkWare CEO Eli ...
Key Highlights: StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson revealed that Starknet is evaluating independence from Ethereum to accelerate defenses against potential quantum computing and AI threats. While Starknet’s ZK-STARK system is inherently hash-based, its bridge infrastructure and settlement layer remain tied to Ethereum’s timeline, which targets quantum resistance by December 2029. The strategic deliberations coincide with a ...
Key Highlights: Starknet ($STRK) surged over 55% in a 24-hour window, breaking above the $0.10 mark to tap an intraday high of $0.1022. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson proposed transitioning Starknet from an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution into an independent Layer-1 blockchain to mitigate quantum computing threats. Establishing an autonomous Layer-1 network would enable Starknet to ...
Key Highlights StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that gaining independence would enable Starknet to dictate its own security migrations instead of waiting for Bitcoin or Ethereum. Starknet’s established 2027 target is set specifically for achieving full quantum resistance, rather than marking an official Layer-1 launch date. Transitioning away from Ethereum would alter Starknet’s settlement design ...
Key Highlights Starknet native token $STRK gained 18.1% over a 24-hour period, rising past the $0.06 mark. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson revealed that transitioning Starknet from an Ethereum Layer-2 into an independent Layer-1 blockchain is under consideration to defend against quantum computing and artificial intelligence risks. No formal transition or management decision has been finalized, ...
Key Highlights Starknet could achieve quantum resistance as early as 2027, outpacing Ethereum’s current target of 2029. StarkWare co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson highlighted that Bitcoin has yet to establish a comparable quantum-safety timeline. ZK-STARK proofs, cryptographic agility, and AI-driven mathematical advancements are critical drivers accelerating post-quantum blockchain upgrades. Starknet Targets Post-Quantum Security Ahead of Ethereum and ...
Key Highlights Alloc Init researchers propose Shielded Bitcoin, a metaprotocol bringing Zcash-style private transfers to Bitcoin without a soft fork, using encrypted notes and zero-knowledge proofs. The system relies on Bitcoin as a “neutral publication and ordering layer” while separate indexers verify ZK-proofs and prevent double-spending, avoiding base-layer consensus changes. Critics highlight a small initial ...
