On October 31 (UTC+8), Starknet announced that users can adopt post-quantum signature schemes without a hard fork, thanks to account abstraction. Addresses, balances, and transaction histories remain unchanged. As an Ethereum L2, Starknet continues to use Ethereum for settlement and data availability. Research into an independent L1 would enable Starknet to define its own cryptographic standards and migration plans. STRK remains the native token, with no new token issuance planned. Any transition to an L1 would require a binding governance vote, making this a key on-chain update for the community.

ME News reports that on October 31 (UTC+8), Starknet posted on X that account abstraction enables accounts to switch to post-quantum signature schemes without altering their address, balance, or transaction history, and without modifying the protocol. Starknet noted that, as an Ethereum L2, its settlement, data publication, and cross-chain bridges still rely on Ethereum and elliptic curve cryptography; researching a standalone L1 would allow it to define its own cryptographic schemes and migration timelines. A standalone L1 remains in the research phase; STRK remains the native token, with no plans to issue a new token, and any decision to migrate to an L1 would require a binding governance vote.
