Starknet Considers Becoming an L1 to Reach Quantum Resistance by 2027
Starknet is considering a move from an Ethereum Layer 2 to a standalone Layer 1, with one piece linking that discussion to a target of quantum-resistant security by 2027. The other piece says the shift could affect Ethereum’s ecosystem and market confidence.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users and participants watching Starknet and Ethereum would notice that Starknet is weighing a move away from Ethereum Layer 2 toward its own Layer 1. That matters today because the network would have more control over its security upgrades than if parts of the migration remained tied to Ethereum.
In practice, what changes is that Starknet is no longer described only as a Layer 2 path; it is being explored as a standalone Layer 1. What stays open is whether that shift happens, and the details of how it would affect Ethereum’s ecosystem are not settled in the material.
