Starknet said it is actively considering a shift from a Layer 2 to a Layer 1 network, with 2027 set as the target for becoming fully quantum-resistant. The move would change how the network handles its security roadmap and, if completed, would make Starknet independent from Ethereum for those upgrades.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Starknet users and developers would notice the change in the network’s security direction if the shift happens, because the project said it is aiming for a fully quantum-resistant network by 2027. The present setup still uses Ethereum for state data publication, so the people following the network today are watching a move that would change where key upgrades sit.
In practice, the main change is that Starknet would stop being a Layer 2 that relies on Ethereum for this part of its operation and would instead operate as an independent chain for security upgrades. Ben-Sasson said that would let Starknet control those upgrades itself, while the current arrangement remains in place for now.
