Holders of Starknet (STRK) have until Oct. 22 to signal whether the network should study an independent post-quantum Layer 1, a proposal prompted by its reliance on Ethereum.
Starknet’s governance post describes the poll as nonbinding. A Yes result would begin research, while any move to a new network would require further proposals and votes. The poll opened Oct. 15.
Starknet is a Layer 2 network whose bridge and data availability depend on Ethereum. Its governance post argues that an independent chain would give Starknet more control over the timing of post-quantum security changes. The proposal says Ethereum-to-Starknet bridges would remain open.
An Oct. 19 EconoTimes market snapshot put STRK at $0.05962 and reported a decline of about 4%.
Starknet says the voting results will appear when the poll closes Oct. 22.
