Starknet Super 93.5%voting rights support the transition to an independent quantum-resistant Layer 1 network
PANews October 22 reported, citing The Block,Starknet(STRK) holders supported a research proposal with more than 93.5%of the voting rights to explore transitioning Starknet from the Ethereum Layer 2 network to an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1 network. StarkWare plans to November release a draft white paper to further study the relevant technical approach. It should be noted that this vote only supports conducting research into the transition and does not mean that the transition plan has been formally approved. Any subsequent move to advance the transition would still require further governance approval.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This vote determines whether the research is worth undertaking, not whether the transition should be implemented immediately.Starknet is currently described as Ethereum Layer 2, with the research direction being to become an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1; the specific technical approach remains to be explained in the draft white paper.
Why it matters to readers
If the subsequent transition is approved,Starknet network positioning may change. However, only the research proposal has currently received support, so it cannot be concluded that the transition will definitely occur.
Beginners should distinguish between a research proposal and a formal implementation decision. At this stage, they can follow the draft white paper and subsequent governance approval, but should not interpret support exceeding 93.5%as meaning that the transition is certain.
Risks and unknowns
The relevant technical approach remains under further study.
It remains uncertain whether the transition plan will receive subsequent governance approval.
The report did not specify a timeline for implementing the formal transition.
