On October 25, 2026, Starknet $STRK remains under pressure following a sharp market correction and major ecosystem developments. More than 93.5% of voting power supported researching a potential transition from $ETH Layer 2 to an independent, post-quantum Layer 1 blockchain. However, the vote only approved further research, not an actual transition. A draft whitepaper is expected in November. Meanwhile, the migration of the Extended trading platform to another network has contributed to a significant decline in Starknet’s DeFi total value locked, increasing concerns about ecosystem liquidity. $STRK ’s short-term outlook remains uncertain as market participants monitor network activity, token supply, and upcoming technical plans. The proposed quantum-resistant roadmap could strengthen Starknet’s long-term vision, but sustained adoption and ecosystem growth will be crucial for recovery.
