Starknet Rises 20% as It Weighs Shift to a Standalone Blockchain

Starknet jumped 20% after the Ethereum layer-2 network said it was exploring a transition to a standalone layer-1 blockchain, according to Decrypt.

The project described the potential shift as under active consideration, rather than a finalized decision.

Starknet said the move would allow it to become the first fully quantum-resistant network by 2027. That timeline and first-mover claim remain the project's stated ambitions.
