Starknet fixes STRK token airdrop issues for Immutable X and ETH pool stakers

Mar 20, 202409:00 UTC

Update (March 20, 10:30 UTC): This article has been updated to clarify that the eligibility of STRK tokens has been extended to the current (first) round of Provisions, and not future rounds.

The Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Starknet extended its eligibility of the first round of Starknet provisions to two sub-categories of users that previously had trouble claiming STRK tokens.

The Starknet Foundation — the organization supporting the Starknet network — straightended out concerns around the eligibility of some pre-Merge ETH stakers and Immutable X users for February’s Starknet (STRK) airdrop after a thorough review of the situation. The company extended its eligibility of first round of Starknet provisions to eligible VeVe users, Non-VeVe StarkEx users who were previously identified as VeVe users and pooled stakers/

The fresh batch of users eligible for the February airdrop can begin claiming their STRK in April, according to a note shared with Cointelegraph.

Starknet said a list provided by Immutable showed self-custody IMX addresses and wallets associated with users of the nonfungible token (NFT) platform VeVe was inaccurate, with many Immutable X users being mistakenly classified as VeVe users.

The list was supposed to help differentiate between the two groups. VeVe holds its users’ private keys, and airdrop-eligible VeVe users would not have had the information needed for the claims process, so Starknet airdropped the token through the NFT platform.

With the list now fixed, Immutable X users who performed eight or more transactions before June 1, 2022, can now claim their airdrop.

Starknet is still discussing airdrops for VeVe users with the VeVe team.

There was also an issue for pooled ETH stakers, with the staking protocols unable to airdrop STRK to those eligible — something Starknet said could be traced back to several causes.

Some staking protocols have given Starknet a list of users eligible to claim their airdrop starting in April.
