Starknet Sets Vote on Independent Quantum-Resistant L1
Starknet has set a seven-day advisory vote on researching an independent quantum-resistant L1, while keeping STRK and its Ethereum bridges.
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) alongside its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). Unlike Bitcoin, which focuses primarily on peer-to-peer payments, Ethereum enables developers to build programmable financial products, digital marketplaces, and autonomous systems directly on the blockchain. Its flexible architecture has made it the foundation for major crypto sectors, including DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. Ethereum continues to evolve through network upgrades aimed at improving scalability, security, and energy efficiency. As a result, it plays a central role in shaping how blockchain technology is used beyond simple value transfer.
