We’re now closing that gap. Starknet will be fully post-quantum secure, end-to-end, well before the threat becomes real." ### Post #2 by @EliBenSasson > **Author:** Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io ([@EliBenSasson](https://x.com/EliBenSasson)) > **Metrics:** 45 likes · 7 retweets · 17 comments · 2.5K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-17T09:12:37+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/EliBenSasson/status/2078045194805514610](https://x.com/EliBenSasson/status/2078045194805514610) > **Video Content:** Eli Ben-Sasson, Co-founder & CEO of StarkWare, speaks directly to the camera about post-quantum security, emphasizing that the core protocol is natively post-quantum secure and that native smart wallets and account abstraction are built into the foundation rather than added on, unlike competitors such as Solana and Zcash. Animated graphics of a ballot box, a core protocol box, a wallet, and a stamp appear in the upper right to illustrate his points about security, wallets, and validity. The video closes with a blue end screen displaying the website "starkware.co," Instagram and X icons with "@starkwareltd," and additional social media icons at the bottom. > > "Post-quantum security is becoming a baseline requirement. It's a matter of risk management. So ZK-STARKs matter, and native account abstraction matters, and being future-proofed matters." --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
