The community has spoken! The results are in, with a strong majority voting Yes to starting the research into Starknet becoming an L1. A few notes: - The final results are an overwhelming 93.52% in favor. This is a clear YES. - The next step is for a working group to lead the needed research and work to make this change possible in the best path there is - @StarkWareLtd and the @StarknetFndn will be allocating significant resources to make sure this work is done in the best way possible - STRK will remain the token of the network - There are many challenges to tackle, review, research, and discuss. We will do thorough work to address all of them and we want to hear from the community - Any path to transition to an L1 will be brought to a community vote This is a huge shift and a milestone, but the AI and quantum challenges ahead require it. Let’s get to work!

Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.
