Key Highlights Starknet suffered a sharp 73% decline in Total Value Locked (TVL) following the migration of $120 million by the Extended perpetuals platform to Arc, with stablecoin liquidity plunging from $147 million to $37 million. A governance proposal exploring a migration from an Ethereum Layer-2 to an independent Layer-1 network secured an overwhelming 93% ...
Key Highlights StarkWare is exploring structural changes driven primarily by concerns over post-quantum security and dependencies on the Ethereum base layer. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson announced that the team plans to release an initial draft of the technical research document to the public in November. The Starknet Foundation confirmed that STRK will remain the native ...
Key Highlights: The Starknet community voted to study transitioning from an Ethereum Layer-2 rollup into an independent, post-quantum Layer-1 blockchain, backed by a joint StarkWare and Starknet Foundation working group. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson argued that Ethereum’s targeted December 2029 post-quantum timeline is too late and susceptible to schedule slips, justifying Starknet’s target for 2027. ...
Key Highlights: StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation are spearheading research to make Starknet quantum-safe by 2027, ahead of Ethereum’s projected 2029 timeline. A draft white paper exploring reduced reliance on Ethereum and the potential path toward an independent Layer 1 architecture is slated for release in November. Current operations remain uninterrupted, with STRK continuing as ...
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: 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 ...
