Starknet Considers Layer 1 Move for Quantum Security by 2027

Starknet is considering a shift to a standalone Layer 1 blockchain as it explores quantum security with a 2027 target, The Defiant reported.

StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said an independent network would give Starknet more control over security changes, removing the need to wait for Ethereum to make upgrades.

The move remains under consideration rather than a confirmed transition. The proposed approach would put greater responsibility for the timing of security upgrades in Starknet’s hands.
