STRK Jumps 80% on Starknet’s Quantum-Security L1 Plans

STRK climbed more than 80 % over seven days, topping altcoin gainers in the top-100 by market cap. The token hit $0.126 on Sunday, its highest level since December. The move started right after the network’s October 8 announcement.

Starknet said it is actively exploring a shift to its own L1 to build the first fully quantum-resistant chain by 2027. As an Ethereum rollup today, its security depends on the base layer, so CEO Eli Ben-Sasson asked followers whether gaining “post-quantum flexibility” would be a good or bad idea.

Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake urged the industry to start planning “bunker mode,” warning that AI-driven math could break ECDSA long before full quantum computers arrive—possibly in months. Ben-Sasson echoed that the combined quantum and AI threat now demands maximum protection.

The plan remains an idea only: no formal proposal or governance vote has been made. Traders are pricing in expectations, while the network’s TVL sits near $168 million.
