Starknet says it is “actively considering becoming an L1” — leaving Ethereum to become what it calls the first fully quantum-resistant network, with 2027 as the target. StarkWare co-founder and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson joins Camila Russo to explain the plan.The announcement came as a post on X on Oct. 8, with no governance proposal attached. STRK ran from $0.05 to $0.12 in five days and has since given back most of it. In the same week, StarkWare shipped Shadow Accounts, a privacy primitive that gives users a separate address per app, and launched OffMarket, a service for trading on Polymarket without linking positions to a public wallet.We get into:— What becoming an L1 actually means for Starknet, and what replaces Ethereum’s settlement guarantees— Who approves the move, and when a proposal goes to governance— Why Ben-Sasson thinks the quantum threat is “much closer than we think”— Where he lands in the “bunker mode” fight between Justin Drake, Vitalik Buterin and Yehuda Lindell— Why StarkWare is demoing ML-DSA signatures when Buterin named lattices as the next risk— Shadow Accounts, OffMarket, and building privacy on a counterparty that can switch you off— Starknet’s revenue, emissions, and whether an L1 changes the economicsGuest: Eli Ben Sasson
