⚡️Starknet consider switching to L1 to independently advance the quantum-security upgrade, with the relevant upgrade achievable as early as 2027 year
BlockBeats news,October 8, Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, said that Starknet due to its role as a L2 relying on Ethereum's underlying security, is currently considering various options, including switching to L1 to independently control the network's security migration process and address the cryptographic risks that may be brought by quantum computing and AI He said that Starknet is built on ZK-STARK has cryptographic agility and has formulated a post-quantum security migration roadmap. Ethereum plans to achieve 2029 year-end L1 comprehensive resistance to quantum attacks; Bitcoin has made no similar commitment, while Starknet is expected to complete the relevant upgrade as early as 2027 year.

Key points
01
BlockBeats reported that October 8, Eli Ben-Sasson said Starknet is considering various options, including switching to L1 among other solutions.
02
Eli Ben-Sasson said that Starknet as a L2 relying on Ethereum's underlying security, wants to independently control the network security migration process.
03
The article said that the relevant migration is intended to address quantum computing and AI the cryptographic risks that may be brought by
04
Eli Ben-Sasson said that Starknet built on ZK-STARK it has cryptographic agility and has formulated a post-quantum security migration roadmap.
05
The article said that Ethereum plans to 2029 achieve by year-end L1 comprehensive resistance to quantum attacks, while Bitcoin has made no similar commitment.
06
The article said that Starknet is expected to achieve the relevant upgrade as early as 2027 year.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Starknet is currently a L2 relying on Ethereum's underlying security. Its head said that the project is evaluating options including switching to an independent L1 so that it can decide for itself when and how to complete the security upgrade addressing quantum-computing risks; this remains an option under consideration and does not mean that it has decided to switch to L1。
Why it matters to readers
If Starknet changes its network layer, its security migration will no longer be fully constrained by Ethereum's upgrade pace. The report also indicates that the project regards quantum computing and AI as risks that may affect existing cryptography.
Beginners should understand this as a cybersecurity and architecture plan still under evaluation, rather than a migration or upgrade that has already been completed; “as early as 2027 year” is also only an expected timeline.
Risks and unknowns
Starknet Whether it will formally decide to switch to L1 has not been confirmed.
The report did not provide the complete details of the multiple alternative options.
The specific technical solution and implementation schedule for the post-quantum security migration roadmap were not disclosed.
as early as 2027 year completion of the relevant upgrade is an expectation, and whether it can be achieved remains uncertain.
The article's statements regarding Ethereum's and Bitcoin's quantum-resistance plans were not supported by further evidence.
