Starknet has initiated a seven-day poll to determine whether the network should exit the Ethereum ecosystem. The voting period opened today, marking a significant governance milestone for the Layer 2 scaling solution as it evaluates its future alignment with Ethereum. This pivotal vote coincides with StarkWare shipping Shadow Accounts and launching private trading on Polymarket. The simultaneous rollout of privacy infrastructure and prediction market integration highlights continued technical development even as the community debates the network's long-term strategic relationship with Ethereum.
