$STRK tokens will be available to claim as of 07:00 EST, Feb. 20. <\/p>\n
Starknet, the team behind Ethereum scaling solution StarkWare, announced today<\/a> immediate changes for some users that were tagged as ineligible for tomorrow\u2019s airdrop<\/a>.<\/p>\n Changes resulted in more than 15 million STRK now available for claim, although these will be distributed according to each situation. Starknet plans to airdrop 700 million STRK tokens tomorrow, or 10% of total token supply.<\/p>\n The move impacts one of the most highly anticipated token launches as Starknet has been developing Ethereum scaling solutions since 2021, becoming one of the top Layer 2 platforms. STRK token is trading pre-market for $1.83, on HyperliquidX and Aevo, with pundits expecting<\/a> a minimum listing price of $0.80\u2013translating to a $580 million market cap upon launch.<\/p>\n The immediate changes to token recipient eligibility include a fix for 900 ETH home validator after multiple validators that had been erroneously counted as a single validator. Also, the team at rated.network updated their staker classification methods which results in over 6.9 million STRK distributed to 1,000+ solo stakers who were previously mislabeled.<\/p>\n The Starknet team also made a correction to GitHub handles that were squatted on following the airdrop announcement. That change resulted in over 1 million STRK saved for potential future community allocation.<\/p>\n Finally, there was a discrepancy in claims for users at a custodial company on StarkEx.<\/p>\n The changes come amid severe backlash<\/a> from the crypto community as many users criticized Starknet\u2019s eligibility requirements, the team\u2019s token unlocks, and Starknet\u2019s labeling<\/a> of their users as \u201ce-beggars.\u201d<\/p>\n Starknet tweeted that they hear the \u201cfeedback that some dedicated community members and network users have been left out due to certain Provisions criteria.\u201d Still, the team said it\u2019s researching a meaningful response.<\/p>\n \u201cA meaningful resolution for these users requires time to research, design and test. It is in process and among our top priorities post-Provisions,\u201d Starknet said on X.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nAirdrop Fixes<\/h2>\n
