STRK's 24-hour gain widened to 55%, briefly breaking through $0.12.

BlockBeats news, October 11, according to HTX market data, STRK (Starknet) expanded its 24-hour gain to 55%, briefly breaking above $0.12, now trading at $0.11, leading the altcoin market.

On the news front, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated at Token2049 and in subsequent remarks that in the face of quantum computing and AI acceleration threats, blockchain needs post-quantum readiness and cryptographic agility. He explicitly stated that Starknet is actively considering multiple options, including breaking away from Ethereum to become an independent L1, in order to autonomously control the pace of security migration, with the goal of achieving full quantum resistance by 2027 (earlier than Ethereum's plan). This "L1 transition + quantum resistance" narrative quickly became a market focus, driving STRK's consecutive sharp gains.

On the technical and ecosystem front, on October 5, v0.14.4 launched on mainnet, expanding SNIP-36 single-proof capacity to approximately 1.1 billion L2 gas, supporting proof verification for larger-scale off-chain computation; on October 2, strkBTC incentives went live (the first 100 bridged BTC have bridging fees covered and receive a weekly faucet), further strengthening the Bitcoin-related narrative.
