Starknet's Layer 1 debate just moved from speculation to an actual governance vote.
On October 15, Starknet opened a seven-day poll asking token holders whether to research becoming an independent, post-quantum Layer 1.
An October 15 Binance chart snapshot also showed STRK rebounding nearly 25% from its session open after a sharp selloff.
But there's another important number: 127 million STRK were scheduled to unlock for early contributors and investors on the same day.
That creates an interesting test of market demand.
A favorable vote would authorize further research, not an immediate migration away from Ethereum. Starknet also says STRK would remain the network's token.
For $STRK , the next signal is whether spot buying can absorb newly available supply while traders follow the governance process.
Can demand remain strong after the initial excitement fades?
