The future of @Starknet could extend far beyond being an Ethereum L2. One interesting possibility is becoming an independent L1, not just for performance, but for greater control over its security evolution. Quantum computing may eventually challenge the cryptographic foundations of blockchain networks. Preparing for that future requires more than quantum-resistant technology. Networks also need the flexibility to upgrade their security when the time comes. This is where ZK-STARKs, crypto agility, and a well-defined post-quantum migration strategy become increasingly important. Greater independence could give Starknet more flexibility in coordinating security upgrades and adapting to emerging threats, rather than relying on another network's upgrade timeline. As AI advances and quantum research progresses, blockchain security must evolve beyond today's assumptions. The real question is not just how secure a network is today, but how quickly it can adapt to tomorrow's challenges. Starknet's long-term evolution is worth watching. @Starknet ethereum:0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766
