93.5% of Starknet voters support studying “leaving Ethereum,” but STRK falls 41% in a week
📌 Starknet governance Snapshot vote closed on 10/22: 93.52% of voting power backed researching a transition to an independent, quantum-resistant L1, with 3,236 votes (Starknet Forum/Coindaro)
📌 The vote is non-binding and only approves research; StarkWare CEO Ben-Sasson says a white paper draft will be released in November, and an actual migration would require another formal vote. STRK remains the native token, and the Ethereum bridge will continue operating (Bitcoin.com/Cointelegraph)
📌 STRK is around $0.054, down about 12% in 24 hours and 41% in 7 days, and about 57% below its 10/11 high of $0.1265 (CoinMarketCap/Cryptonews)
📌 According to Coindaro, about 94% of voting power came from foundation-delegated whitelist addresses
【Viewpoint】
A classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” move. STRK surged for a week after the L1 concept was floated on 10/8, then got dumped once the news became official—showing the rally was previously driven by sentiment. Voting power is heavily concentrated in foundation-delegated addresses, so 93.5% looks more like “internal consensus” than retail consensus. An L2 leaving Ethereum and focusing on quantum resistance is a new narrative, but it is still a long way from implementation.
【Opportunities/Risks】
✅ Watch for the November white paper: will the consensus mechanism, staking, and tokenomics create real demand for STRK?
✅ The quantum-resistant sector may attract rotating capital; keep an eye on other related projects
⚠️ STRK has fallen nearly 99% from its all-time high of $4.41, and liquidity and token-unlock pressures remain; around $0.0588 is near-term resistance
⚠️ L2 independence could weaken synergies with the Ethereum ecosystem, putting the
$ETH L2 narrative at risk
Do you think an L2 “going it alone” as an L1 is an upgrade or self-marginalization?
