The Starknet Foundation Addresses Speculations About Airdrop Plans
The Starknet Foundation, the organization behind the Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet, has responded to speculations regarding its upcoming airdrop. These speculations were triggered by the circulation of screenshots on social media, which showed a list of criteria for the airdrop. However, the foundation clarified that these screenshots were from early drafts and that the finalized criteria would be shared when ready.
The foundation also confirmed that an eligibility cutoff date for the airdrop had already been determined, meaning that further user actions would not affect eligibility.
A Planned Airdrop
The plan for an airdrop is not surprising, as it was mentioned in an announcement about the Stark token a year ago. The Starknet Foundation had previously revealed that 10 billion Stark (STRK) tokens would be issued, with 50% retained by the organization and the rest allocated to developers, contributors, and the community.
Starknet operates as a decentralized Layer 2 network on Ethereum, utilizing zero-knowledge roll-up technology. This involves consolidating multiple transactions off-chain and then publishing them collectively on the Ethereum network. Originally developed by StarkWare, the project is now led by the Starknet Foundation.
Hot Take: The Future of Airdrops on Starknet
While speculations surrounding the forthcoming airdrop on Starknet have caused excitement and curiosity among users, it’s important to wait for official criteria and details from the foundation. The screenshots circulating online were merely early drafts, and the finalized plans will be shared in due course.
Airdrops have become popular ways to distribute tokens to communities, and it’s no surprise that Starknet is planning one. As a decentralized Layer 2 network, Starknet aims to reward its developers, contributors, and the wider community through this airdrop.
