More than 93.5% of voting power backed researching a possible independent, post-quantum Starknet L1; the non-binding poll authorized study only, with StarkWare targeting a draft whitepaper in November and any transition requiring further governance approval. The Block reported the result on October 22, after Starknet Foundation’s October 15 proposal described the poll as a seven-day gauge of holder interest. Starknet said the research would inform more detailed proposals and polls; its Foundation post says STRK remains the token and Ethereum bridges stay open whichever path is chosen. Forum proposal
