初五迎财神：Full Guide to Starknet STRK Token Distribution
Starknet’s highly anticipated native token, STRK, is set to launch its first major distribution on February 20, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystems. Through the Starknet Foundation’s Provisions Program—a broad-based token allocation initiative—approximately 1.3 million wallets will become eligible to claim STRK tokens over a four-month window, ending on June 20, 2025.
This distribution isn't just another airdrop—it's a strategic move toward decentralization, rewarding early adopters, contributors, and even non-Web3 developers who helped shape or support the broader tech ecosystem. With a total supply of 10 billion STRK, this event represents one of the most inclusive and community-focused token launches in blockchain history.

What Is the Starknet Provisions Program?
The Starknet Foundation (SNF), led by CEO Diego Oliva based in London, refers to this token distribution as “Provisions” rather than a traditional "airdrop" to emphasize its purpose: to sustainably empower the community that drives innovation on Starknet.
Starknet leverages STARK-based zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum efficiently and securely. The STRK token plays a central role in this vision by enabling decentralized governance, network security, and economic alignment across participants.
“STRK exists to ensure that STARK-based scaling evolves in a decentralized way,” said Diego Oliva, CEO of SNF. “This distribution honors those who’ve contributed meaningfully—it’s not just about rewarding effort, but about handing control of Starknet’s future back to the community.”
Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, echoed this sentiment:
“The Provisions Program marks Starknet’s transition into a truly community-governed network. It sparks curiosity, fuels Cairo adoption, and brings more builders into the fold—because scaling Ethereum demands new tools, and a new kind of developer.”
Who Qualifies for STRK Provisions?
Eligibility spans three main groups, reflecting Starknet’s commitment to inclusivity and long-term ecosystem growth:
1. Starknet Supporters & Users
This group receives the largest share—51.33% of total provisions—and includes:
- Active users and developers who engaged with Starknet before the snapshot date (November 15, 2023).
- Early Community Members (ECMP): Over 2,000 individuals recognized for foundational contributions like coding, organizing events, or promoting adoption.
- Popular dApp users: Anyone who interacted with dApps built on StarkEx since 2020—including platforms like dYdX, ImmutableX, Rhinofi, and Sorare.
Top-tier ECMP participants may receive up to 180,000 STRK, underscoring the value placed on early commitment.
2. Ethereum Builders & Stakers
Recognizing Starknet’s deep ties to Ethereum, 21.99% of tokens are allocated to key contributors within the Ethereum ecosystem:
- Protocol Guild members and EIP authors
- Developers maintaining core Ethereum infrastructure
- Solo stakers (both pre- and post-Beacon Chain launch)
- Holders of liquid staking derivatives (e.g., Lido’s stETH)
This acknowledges that Ethereum’s security directly enables Starknet’s operation.
3. Non-Web3 Open-Source Developers
In an unprecedented move, SNF has reserved provisions for open-source contributors outside Web3, selected based on GitHub activity. This initiative aims to broaden access and set a new standard for inclusivity in decentralized networks.
How Are STRK Allocations Determined?
For general Starknet users—the largest qualifying cohort—allocations range from 500 to 10,000 STRK per address, depending on activity levels.
Basic Eligibility Criteria:
To qualify, a wallet must have:
- Used Starknet in at least 3 separate months
- Completed 6+ transactions
- Transacted at least $100 in value
- Held 0.005 ETH or more at the time of the snapshot (November 15, 2023)
Tiered Scoring System (Up to +7 Bonus Points):
Additional points boost rewards based on depth of engagement:
+1 point if any of the following apply:
- Active for 7–10 months
- Total transaction volume: $7K–$35K
- Interacted with 20–39 smart contracts
+2 points if any of these thresholds are exceeded:
- Active for 11+ months
- Transaction volume > $35K
- Interacted with 40+ contracts
These scoring tiers ensure that sustained participation is meaningfully rewarded.
Starknet Tokenomics: A Decentralized Foundation
Starknet disclosed its full token model in mid-2022, emphasizing long-term sustainability and community ownership.
STRK Supply Breakdown (Total: 10 Billion):
50.1% – Allocated via StarkWare to the Foundation for distribution
- 9% Community Provisions (contributors)
- 9% User rebates (offsetting bridging costs)
- 12% Protocol development & maintenance
- 10% Strategic ecosystem funding
- 2% Donations (to universities, NGOs)
- 8.1% Undistributed (future community decisions)
- 32.9% – Core contributors (team, advisors, partners)
- 17% – Investors
All investor and team tokens are subject to a 4-year vesting schedule: fully locked for the first year, then linearly released.
This structure ensures that no single entity controls the network while incentivizing long-term alignment.
How to Claim Your STRK Tokens
Claiming your provisions requires a compatible Starknet wallet. Recommended options include:
You can create or update your wallet through these platforms ahead of the distribution launch.
⚠️ Warning: SNF actively filters out sybil attackers—addresses created solely to farm tokens will be disqualified. Authentic engagement is key.
Even if you don’t qualify now, ongoing participation could make you eligible for future rounds. Programs like Devonomics (launched December 2024) and upcoming rebate initiatives continue to reward active builders and users.
