The Starknet community is actively considering the transformation of its network into an independent post-quantum secure Layer 1 blockchain. A recent governance poll has garnered significant support, indicating a strong interest in this innovative direction. Based on the data provided in the document, the results reflect a clear enthusiasm for advancing towards this new technological frontier.
Nonbinding Governance Poll Results
In a recent nonbinding governance poll, 9,352 voting power units were cast in favor of exploring the feasibility of this initiative. However, it's crucial to understand that this vote does not grant permission for any immediate migration to a new blockchain structure. Instead, the Starknet Foundation has emphasized that the poll serves as a mandate for researchers to delve into the proposal's viability.
Establishment of Joint Research Group
The next phase involves the establishment of a joint research group in collaboration with StarkWare. This group will focus on analyzing the technical implications of the proposed changes and will publish its findings for the community's review. Key areas of investigation will include:
- asset bridging
- data availability
- the potential effects on the security and liquidity benefits that Starknet currently derives from its association with Ethereum
The community will be kept informed of the progress made by the research group.
The Starknet community is exploring a significant shift towards a post-quantum secure Layer 1 blockchain, while the Sui Hashi project recently launched its mainnet, marking a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency. For more details, see Sui Hashi launch.
