Starknet’s airdrop event officially started at 8 o’clock yesterday, you are sincerely invited to participate and receive rewards!

Ethereum Layer 2 Starknet announced an airdrop on the 14th, and will issue a total of more than 700 million $STRK to 1.3 million addresses at one time. I originally thought this was a "rain and dew" event. airdrop, but it has attracted a lot of criticism from the community, such as dissatisfaction with the airdrop standards (the wallet must store at least 0.005ETH), 900,000 eligible wallets belong to the Starknet team and its investment institutions, and there are less than two In the next month, 13.1% of the total supply of $STRK will be unlocked...etc.

Update $STRK Allocation

Yesterday (19th) evening, the team issued a message to remind users of the time to receive airdrops. It also stated that it had made necessary adjustments to the allocation of $STRK after listening to the opinions of the community. Corrections, including re-correcting airdrop numbers for some users. First of all, the team stated that users who are eligible to receive airdrops can go to the official airdrop website to receive them after 8 o'clock tonight, Beijing time. The collection period will last for four months until the end of June 20.

As for the modifications to the $STRK distribution implementation, the team points out the following:

About 900 Ethereum individual validators will each receive a total of approximately 6.5 million due to previous calculation errors. $STRK, originally they were incorrectly counted as a validator.

Over 1,000 Ethereum independent validators who were previously misclassified will receive over 6.9 million $STRK.

There are approximately 1,900 GitHub accounts that have been excluded from the air investment eligibility due to improper means. This adjustment allows more than 1 million $STRK to be reserved and may be distributed to community members in the future.

Resolved an issue on the StarkEx platform that would have allowed the hosting company to claim airdrops using the keys of approximately 200,000 users. For these users, Starknet will provide detailed procedures for receiving airdrops in the future.

The team also stated that the first task after this airdrop will be to deal with the problem of some active users being excluded due to the current airdrop standards.

The number of active addresses on Starknet dropped by 86%

It is worth mentioning that after Starknet announced the airdrop news, the number of active addresses on its network once surged. According to data from the Starknet blockchain browser, the number of active addresses on Starknet was as high as 226,576 on the 14th, an increase of 80% compared to the past three months. However, today after the airdrop was launched, the number of active addresses on Starknet has dropped to 17,911 , compared with an average of more than 100,000 active users from August to December 2023, this number is significantly lower than normal.

Although, the decrease in active addresses is not all without benefits, part of this decline may be due to the departure of users seeking airdrops (often regarded as parasitic users in the crypto community), and their departure may purify ecosystem, attracting a more dedicated and authentic user base, paving the way for building a more sustainable and engaged community, however this drastic drop also shows how serious the level of dissatisfaction within the Starknet community is , the Starknet Foundation announced yesterday (19th) that it will launch an ecological incentive plan on the 22nd and distribute 40 million $STRK tokens to the DeFi protocol. Whether it can save a large number of lost users deserves attention.
