Starknet voters back research into a quantum-resistant chain beyond Ethereum

Starknet token holders have voted in favor of researching a blockchain that would operate independently of Ethereum, with StarkWare planning to release a draft whitepaper in November. The work explores a quantum-resistant chain, signaling a possible strategic shift for a project whose technology is closely tied to Ethereum scaling. The vote is exploratory rather than a commitment to launch, so it carries little near-term price impact but is worth watching for signs of ecosystem fragmentation.
