Fresh news: Starknet is seriously considering moving from an L2 to an L1. The reason is that, as an L2, its security depends on Ethereum’s underlying layer, leaving the timing in someone else’s hands. They want to take the lead in managing the security migration process to address cryptographic risks that quantum computing and AI could bring.

The CEO also mentioned that Starknet is built on ZK-STARKs, which are cryptographically flexible, and that its post-quantum migration roadmap is already in place. The upgrade could be completed as early as 2027. For comparison, Ethereum plans to make its L1 fully resistant to quantum attacks by the end of 2029, while Bitcoin still hasn’t provided a similar timeline.

Here’s my take. An L2 becoming an independent L1 is pretty rare in the Ethereum ecosystem. It suggests the project team believes quantum security can’t wait and is willing to take responsibility for it themselves. For $STRK , this is a long-term security narrative signal, showing that the team is indeed taking proactive steps. But the proposal is still some way from being implemented, and there are plenty of uncertainties along the way. Let’s wait and see the details of the plan before jumping to conclusions.
