👀 And this is where an interesting context for Starknet ($STRK) emerges.
Starknet was originally developed as an L2 scaling solution for Ethereum. But now, a completely different scenario is being discussed: transforming Starknet into an independent Layer 1 with post-quantum protection.
🔹 Ethereum aims to keep its base layer as simple as possible, moving complex computations off-chain.
🔹 Starknet already uses STARK proofs—a technology that makes it possible to verify computations without having to perform them all over again.
🔹 If Starknet really does pursue the path of becoming an independent L1, its role could change: instead of complementing Ethereum, it could develop its own infrastructure, security, and network economy.
⚠️ But there’s a caveat: Vitalik’s statement doesn’t mean he supports Starknet’s separation. These are separate initiatives, although they have technological parallels.
