Starknet community backs research into independent post-quantum Layer 1
Starknet's community voted to support research into becoming an independent, quantum-resistant Layer 1, with a draft whitepaper expected in November, The Block reported. Cointelegraph reported that StarkWare plans to release the draft as it explores a blockchain beyond Ethereum. No vote tally was given.
2 independent publishers report it (copies of the same text count once); they may still rely on one underlying source. An official source would raise it.

Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- The Block reported that Starknet's community overwhelmingly backed research into becoming an independent post-quantum Layer 1, with a draft whitepaper expected in November.
- Cointelegraph reported that StarkWare plans to release a draft whitepaper in November as it explores an independent, quantum-resistant blockchain.
Still unresolved
- What share of the vote supported the research proposal, and how many participants took part?
- What technical design the draft whitepaper will propose for the independent chain, particularly its post-quantum cryptography?
