StarkWare, the developer behind the Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Starknet, had come under heavy criticism for the unlocking schedule for its new STRK tokens.

Following its recent listing, Starknet’s native token, STRK, experienced a significant downturn, with its price plummeting by 27% within a 24-hour period.  The drop can be attributed largely to sell-offs triggered by a major airdrop, revealing challenges associated with token issuance strategies. Despite the potential of Starknet’s technology, the current […]

In this week's issue of our weekly blockchain tech newsletter, Sam Kessler explores how "liquid restaking tokens" or LRTs are remaking decentralized finance. PLUS: Starknet's STRK airdrop, Stellar's smart-contract facelift and bitcoin's supply crunch.

More than 490,000 individual wallets claimed 420 million starknet (STRK) tokens in the 24 hours after the highly anticipated airdrop went live, with the token's market cap remaining above $1.2 billion.

The tokens started trading at around $5 apiece, exchange data shows, but fell ahead of significant token unlocks planned in the months ahead.

Starknet distributed 728 million tokens to around 1.3 million addresses in what is being dubbed as the largest airdrop of the year.

Starknet is set to launch its native token STRK through an airdrop of 728 million coins on Feb. 20.

The airdrop will happen on Feb.20, and eligible users have until June 20 to claim their tokens.

Starknet Foundation reserves 500 million STRK, to explore incentives for DeFi to drive ecosystem development.

Starknet said 900 million STRK are earmarked for the foundation’s Provisions Committee, and 900 million will be dedicated to user rebates.

In this week's edition of The Protocol newsletter, we explain the mechanics (and roots) behind the "data availability" network Celestia, and its new TIA tokens, and turn our eyes to Starknet's STRK tokens, which aren't trading yet but are already being awarded to early contributors.

Starknet Foundation allocates 50m STRK tokens to reward early contributors in its ECMP program. Registration open until Nov 19, list announced by Dec 29.

The Starknet Foundation has revealed that it is allocating 50 million STRK tokens to users who contributed to the ecosystem in the early days of its development. The foundation had minted 10 billion STRK tokens. However, the tokens are not even trading yet and are locked away until at least next April.

The foundation, formed in November 2022 after the initial developer StarkWare minted 10 billion STRK tokens, is now awarding early contributors to the Ethereum layer-2 network – even though they're locked for trading at least until next April.

Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2, has disclosed the initiation of "appchains," a framework designed to enable developers to construct several application-specific blockchains within the Starknet ecosystem. The innovative project is in alignment with the growing trend of modular networks in the Layer 2 ecosystem, spearheaded by projects like Optimism, Polygon, zkSync, and Arbitrum. A New Era For Application-Specific Chains Developers can harness Starknet Stack, the native developer toolkit of Starknet's ecosystem, to create these appchains, using STARK proofs to boost security. Central to this toolkit is Cairo, a programming language developed by the StarkWare team, bearing similarities to Rust. In a recent blog post, Starknet revealed that the use of appchains could offer developers an enhanced performance, a claim further supported by Starknet's recent v0.12.0 upgrade on the mainnet, which reportedly amplified network performance. Advancing Customization For Devs A unique aspect of appchains lies in their capability to support features currently not present on Starknet's main network. This includes features like custom fee market logic and consernsus mechanisms, among others. This flexibility can potentially grant developers the ability to customize their application's configurations and functionalities, thus offering a greater degree of control over their projects. "Starknet Appchains are the bespoke environment where applications can tailor an instance of Starknet to achieve better control over the specs, lower cost, greater scale, and opt-in privacy," the firm shared. The team underscored the escalating interest in application-specific blockchains, tailored to meet customized requirements. They stated: "The need for appchains has been apparent for several years and is now getting renewed attention." Starknet's introduction of appchains represents a significant milestone in the blockchain landscape, enhancing developers' capacity for customization, and making the ecosystem more versatile and adaptable to specific application requirements. Such a move signals a key step towards a more decerntralized, diversified, and performance-oriented blockchain environment. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
