$STRK from StarkWare was officially deployed in Ethereum on November 2022. 🐺
Since then, the team has been moving tokens around.
Some expect an airdrop and token launch to happen later this year 🪂
A thread: how to potentially get and what we know about $STARK so far 🧵
1/7
Quick recap:
• $STRK is the token of StarkWare: an $8B web3 company that invented the StarkNet tech stack (StarkEx, StarkGate, etc).
• Everyone was speculating with a $STARK token/airdrop until scammer Zhu Su from 3AC leaked an email from StarkNet confirming the token
2/7
• StarkWare was then forced to confirm the token, so they released three blog posts:
StarkNet Sovereignty 🔗 medium.com/starkware/part-1-starknet-sovereignty-a-decentralization-proposal-bca3e98a01ef
Decentralization and Governance 🔗 medium.com/starkware/part-2-a-decentralization-and-governance-proposal-for-starknet-23e335645778

Token utility
This token will be required for:
(i) governance,
(ii) payment of transaction fees on StarkNet, and
(iii) participation in StarkNet’s consensus mechanism (staking)

Airdrop information 🪂
They allocated 9% for "Community provisions":
• Being the StarkEx L2 user (dYdX, Immutable X, etc).
• Snapshot: June 1, 2022
If you got the dYdX airdrop, you probably have $STARK too
This is open to interpretation, the original text below 👇
5/7
There is also 8.1% that's "Unallocated", to be decided by the community.
This can also mean an airdrop to past StarkNet users if the community decides it.
This is why some still speculate that trying new StarkNet protocols (even now) might get them $STARK in the future

What else do we know?
The official $STRK smart contract has already been deployed:
🔗 etherscan.io/token/0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766
• Total supply: 10B
• Transactions: 404
• Holders: 226
Speculation: StarkWare is moving $STRK to investors so they get the token before TGE
7/7
Bottom Line
• There has not been a $STRK airdrop confirmed for StarkNet Early Network participants, but there is around 8% of the supply that's "unallocated"
• Here is an Airdrop Strategy to try a few protocols 👇
