10 blockchains faced 8 quantum lock-upgrade checks from StarkWare. Only @Starknet
hit 8/8.
Bitcoin scored 7/8. Ethereum got 3/8, Solana 2/8, Robinhood Chain 1/8.
Check #1 separates the table: can a standard wallet swap its lock without moving coins to a new address?
On Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, standard addresses are tied to fixed signature rules, so upgrading forces wallet migrations or chain-wide forks. Starknet built every wallet as a smart contract, letting holders swap lock code in place and keep the same address.
Still, 8/8 doesn’t mean full quantum safety today.
Starknet wallets still need opt-in upgrades targeted for 2027, and Starknet posts transaction data to Ethereum, which aims for December 2028. Swapping your apartment lock early doesn’t help much if the building’s front gate keeps its old lock another year. That gap is why 93.52% of voting power backed researching an independent Starknet L1.
I’d rather swap my lock than move wallets.
