Starknet weighs leaving Ethereum to beat quantum computers
Original: Starknet weighs leaving Ethereum to beat quantum computers to the punch
Starknet, the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network, is considering moving away from Ethereum entirely, with quantum computing cited as a key reason. The idea is that a more independent architecture could be designed to resist future quantum attacks, rather than inheriting constraints from Ethereum's base layer. The reported deliberation has drawn attention in crypto circles, raising questions about how far layer-2 networks might diverge from the chains they were built on.
Why now: Reports that a major Ethereum scaling project might break away over quantum-computing risk challenge assumptions about layer-2 dependence on Ethereum.
