The Starknet community has voted to research whether Starknet should become an independent, post-quantum L1.
Starting today, a joint @StarkWareLtd × @StarknetFndn working group will lead the research and publish a paper in the coming months.
Make STARK proofs smaller.
An open challenge to find math that gives a STARK the same security with fewer checks. Every find is credited.

Your wallet is public. Your activity doesn't have to be.
Anyone using a Starknet wallet like @ready_co can now keep their ArcX transactions private.
Live now: https://t.co/BkltB7M6KI
Shadow Accounts let you interact with public DeFi through a separate address you control, while the link to your main wallet stays confidential.
Here’s how they work ↓
1/ In just a few weeks, private mode has spread across the entire Starknet ecosystem.
Private trading, borrowing, staking, LPing, yield farming… All without changing existing smart contracts or fragmenting liquidity.
The secret? Shadow Accounts 🧵
Quantum computing presents a fundamental challenge to blockchain security.
Starknet combines cryptographic agility with STARK-based proving to prepare for a post-quantum future.
Starknet is built to adapt.
Next stop, Devcon 8 🇮🇳
We're taking over one of Mumbai's most iconic restaurants to meet and catch up with the teams, devs, and founders building on Starknet.

If you want to make some high-signal connections this devcon 🇮🇳, or just kick back and get some work done: we've cooked up some events for you (and the venue is right across the Devcon venue)
Nov 3-4: Stark Space
Nov 3: Stark after dark

Some rooms you find and some you earn your way into.
The Payments Night in Mumbai this November is the second kind
Founders, builders, lawyers, CAs, creators and freelancers in one room with an open bar and good food
Hosted by DashX with @myStableCorp , @Starknet , @dopepayme and @swishdotcash
Private wallets can now unstake natively on Endur.
Shadow accounts are live, and native unstaking now works in private mode, at better rates than swapping out through a DEX.
The whole flow stays inside private mode. Start the unstake and your funds go through the standard 7 to 8 day period, then land on your shadow account, ready to claim.
No swap, and no pool price to depend on when you exit.
Private in, private out.

All you can do privately.
+ private yield on @trovesfi
+ @ekuboprotocol for private LPing with private swaps
+ private neobanking with @haven_hn_
+ @supervegaxyz for private options trading
+ private borrowing on @opusmoney

An independent L1 would remove that constraint and let Starknet pursue full post-quantum security on its own schedule.
Any move to an L1 would require a community vote.

Starknet is targeting full post-quantum security by 2027. Ethereum’s target is 2029.
As an L2, Starknet cannot complete that transition while its bridge and data availability remain tied to Ethereum’s timeline.
You can make the verifier cheaper, break it, or make Keccak faster.
The record is there to break. Every find gets credited.

An open problem. Now open to you and your agents.
Make quantum-safe signatures cheaper.
A quantum-safe Falcon-512 signature costs 48.4M gas. The record is ~26M, and it keeps falling. Who’s next to break it?
The Falcon challenge is now live.
