Starknet, the Ethereum scaling network built by StarkWare, is considering becoming an independent layer-1 blockchain, with 2027 as its target to become the first fully quantum-resistant network. The STRK token surged about 20% in 24 hours, reaching around $0.073, more than double its roughly $0.03 price in April. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said the transition would give Starknet control over its own security upgrades, rather than waiting for Ethereum to modernize its post-quantum infrastructure around 2029. The quantum threat and the advancement of artificial intelligence are the two risk factors cited by Ben-Sasson to justify this transformation.
