Starknet, a prominent Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, has broadened the scope of eligibility for its inaugural Starknet provisions, accommodating concerns raised by Immutable X and ETH staker communities.
Starknet Foundation Expands Token Distribution Eligibility Criteria in Response to Community Feedback
In response to community feedback and rectifying uncertainties, the Starknet Foundation has extended eligibility criteria for the initial round of Starknet (STRK) token distributions. Notably, pre-Merge ETH stakers, Immutable X users, and specific subcategories of StarkEx users are now included in the airdrop eligibility list.
The Starknet Foundation's decision follows a meticulous reassessment of eligibility concerns, particularly surrounding pre-Merge ETH stakers and users of Immutable X. Addressing discrepancies in categorization, Starknet has ensured that users erroneously classified as VeVe users on Immutable X are rightfully included in the airdrop.
