🧵 Starknet is truly going to be one of the biggest #airdrops in history.

With $280M raised from Tier-1 VCs and with grant from Ethereum Foundation.

Check out When will be the snapshot and How to get the $STRK airdrop🔽

In this thread, you will know:

• Steps to get Airdrop.
• Possible criteria for the $STRK drop.
• When will be the snapshot.

Let's dive in 🥽

[1] Wallets.

Firstly, we need a Starknet wallet:

Argent X — raised $56m from Fabric, Paradigm, StarkWare etc.

Braavos — raised $10m from Pantera, Cryptocom, StarkWare etc.

You can use any of them, but I just like Argent X more.

[2] Bridges.

After creating the wallet, we need to bridge $ETH to Starknet.

StarkGate is a main bridge for Starknet and we must use it at least once.

Connect Metamask and Argent X, choose amount & transfer tokens.

You can skip high fees on Ethereum and use other bridges: @layerswap and @Orbiter_Finance.

Here you can bridge tokens from cheaper chains including Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon.

[3] DeFi.

Now we can move on to StarkNet ecosystem. Let's begin with DeFi.

@JediSwap is the most popular DEX on Starknet with $7M TVL.

They received a 150k $STRK grant for the development.

Here you need to Connect wallet, Select tokens & Swap.

Other two currently working DEXs: @10KSwap and @mySwapxyz.

They have $2.5m and $2m TVL and some potential for the growth.

Then comes borrowing assets on @zkLend — the most popular lending platform on Starknet.

zkLend raised $5M in seed round from Delphi Digital, Starkware.

Every thing here's simple, like in my every other guide.

Just Connect wallet, Supply $ETH & borrow tokens.

[4] Name Service.

tony.stark, robb.stark, arya.stark are no the case of the next project, cuz they all already claimed at @Starknet_id.

But there's still plenty of names to be taken. And possibility for the project's airdrop like it was with @ensdomains.

[5] NFT.

The most popular NFT marketplace on Starknet is @aspectdotco.

We can buy and sell NFTs here. (Sell function wasn't working for me)

Btw, previously the most popular marketplace was @MintSquareNFT, but they are closing on June 30.

[6] Events.

The last thing to have fun with — Argent X and Braavos Campaigns.

In their current events, you need to make swap, play a game, etc. & mint NFTs every week.

You still have time to take part in those campaigns. Check out for more info: @argentHQ & @myBraavos.

I think the criteria for $STRK airdrop will be similar to Arbitrum:

• Bridge via official bridge.
• Number of transactions.
• Amount of staked liquidity.
• ID???.

Focus on the number of transactions and interaction with a large number of protocols.

When snapshot? Not now.

Right now TVL of Starknet is around $12M.

This is not a number even for a small dApp. Also, there's too few projects.

I'm waiting for a snapshot to be in 2024, when ecosystem will grow as Arbitrum. But it's better to start now.
