Starknet opens vote on potential Ethereum L2 exit over quantum risks

Starknet has opened a governance vote asking STRK holders whether to explore exiting Ethereum and becoming an independent layer-1 blockchain. The proposal cites concerns over Ethereum's timeline for quantum-security upgrades and the desire to reduce dependence on that roadmap. The vote is exploratory rather than a binding decision, so its near-term market impact is limited, though it signals governance and strategic uncertainty for one of Ethereum's larger layer-2 networks.
