StarkWare has unveiled a quantum roadmap for Starknet, placing the potential threat posed by quantum computing on the network’s development agenda. CEO Eli Ben-Sasson said the crypto sector has “no excuse” for complacency.

Ben-Sasson argued that the industry should act on its own initiative instead of relying on governments or other institutions to prompt a response. “The crypto industry shouldn’t need wake-up calls from the White House or anyone else,” he said.
The roadmap signals that StarkWare intends to treat quantum preparedness as a concrete engineering concern for Starknet. The supplied announcement did not specify implementation dates or detailed technical milestones.
