Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

More than 93.5% of voting power, across 2,800+ wallets, backed researching a move from an Ethereum L2 to an independent post-quantum L1 in a seven-day Snapshot poll that closed Thursday. StarkWare did not vote. A draft whitepaper is expected in November, and STRK holders must vote again on any actual transition. Starknet's hash-based cryptography lets accounts adopt post-quantum signatures without protocol changes, but it inherits Ethereum's security through its bridge and data availability, so it is only as quantum-safe as Ethereum.
