$STRK Quantum threat still seems like a scenario from the distant future. But if sufficiently powerful quantum computers emerge, some of today’s cryptography could be put at risk.

That’s exactly why StarkWare initially bet on a different technology — ZK-STARKs.

🧠 Unlike many SNARK systems, STARK proofs do not rely on elliptic-curve cryptography, which known quantum algorithms are theoretically capable of breaking.

Their security is built on:

➥ cryptographic hash functions;
➥ error-correction codes;
➥ mathematical assumptions considered resistant to quantum attacks.

But there’s an important nuance here: STARK proofs already have post-quantum properties, but that doesn’t yet mean that all of the Starknet infrastructure is fully quantum-secure today.

For this, it’s necessary to gradually adapt other network components—including user signatures and the account system.

🚀 Starknet’s advantage is that the account abstraction architecture makes it possible to update account cryptography without completely rebuilding the blockchain.

While most projects focus on speed, fees, and yet another TVL growth cycle, Starknet is laying the groundwork for a threat that could change the rules of the game for the entire industry.

For $STRK this is one of the most underrated technological narratives: the network is built not only for the next cycle, but for the next era of cryptography.

The only question is:

will the quantum threat become real before the market recognizes Starknet’s advantage? ⚛️
