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: Peter Todd has become the lead maintainer of Slipstream, a MARA-backed private transaction relay service. Slipstream was used to help move more than 9000 BTC from Coldcard-affected multisignature wallets while keeping recovery transactions out of the public mempool. The service has also supported experimental Bitcoin transactions, including StarkWare’s first quantum-safe transaction to reach ...
Key Highlights StarkWare has demonstrated a quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction method that operates within current protocol rules, requiring no soft fork or network upgrade. The approach uses hash-based cryptography to protect against quantum computers deriving private keys from exposed public keys, but costs approximately $320 in computing per transaction under current implementation. Significant limitations remain: transactions ...
Bitcoin Achieves First Quantum-Resistant Transaction via StarkWare and MARA Foundation The Bitcoin network advanced its quantum defense capabilities this week as StarkWare and the MARA Foundation announced the execution of the first known quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on August 27. Industry Leaders React to Milestone Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of StarkWare, described the development as a pivotal ...
