The parts of Starknet under Starknet’s control can be quantum-resistant soon. The parts that depend on Ethereum, such as the bridge and data availability, are tied to Ethereum’s timeline. An independent L1 removes that dependency. No timeline for that exists yet, but Starknet starts further ahead than most chains. Starknet already runs on hash-based STARK proofs and native account abstraction.
