Starknet is a ZK-rollup with solid technology—STARK proofs, Cairo language, low fees, and account abstraction—but faces severe community backlash centered on its airdrop distribution. The snapshot criteria excluded active users who lacked ETH balance despite using the network, and dismissive team communication (notably calling community members "e-beggars") fractured trust. Post-TGE, the token price collapsed dramatically, user activity dried up, and the project is widely perceived as having prioritized insiders over genuine supporters, leaving it labeled a "ghost chain" despite its technical merit.

“What a stark of a difference”It was unbelievable that stark actually opened at those disgusting valuations with barely any users. Metrics were grossly inflated. Look at where it is now when users desert the chain. One of the classic examples to show how toxic when you allocate to the wrong users. Hyperliquid.

“Worst project and team”Having been actively involved in the cryptocurrency space for an extended period, engaging in various activities such as airdrop hunting, I can confidently assert that Starknet stands out as one of the most underwhelming projects. Not only is its airdrop strategy lacking in effectiveness, but its network’s sluggish performance is a significant drawback. Starknet has failed to attract a substantial user base, developers, or founders who are willing to invest in its ecosystem. Consequently, its token value has plummeted to near zero. Therefore, I strongly advise against considering Starknet as a potential investment opportunity.

“Not a great ethereum layer, once went down for 8 hours without anyone noticing. Zero users. Airdrop poorly executed.”

“Burnt Dream”It's very sad, but Starknet was once a very promising layer 2 solution, but since the release of their token, the chain has died. No live users - no commissions - no development of their business. The team just gets their unlocks and sells tokens at the market, sad. Maybe something will change someday and the token will grow, but first of all, you need to think about who will use their network. I also received a drop on some of my family accounts, thanks for that and I am grateful to myself that I sold it on the first day of the listing. And you also took away my drop from the main, which should have taken into account 10,000 $ STRK - no respect for that. A huge amount of work was done, a bunch of videos, posts - in the end, nothing was given. A couple of active users per day, RIP

“Damn shit scam project”Anyone can tell that this a fucking scam shit

“about starknet”Starknet is an Ethereum Layer 2 project that uses software different from other Ethereum Layer 2 projects. After a lengthy testnet and mainnet phase, it airdropped its users. It failed to please most users, resulting in only a small number of users. The Strk token has plummeted.

“Dead Chain”StarkNet looks like a completely failed project at this point. The ecosystem is already dead, with just 1 daily active user, according to Dune Analytics. https://dune.com/79999/starknet-statistics The token has crashed ~97.73%, from an all-time high of $4.40 to just $0.10. The biggest irony? They ignored real users and instead rewarded developers and team wallets with airdrops worth $200,000+ per wallet while active users got little or nothing. Most of those wallets quickly dumped their tokens on the market. This isn’t a small project either. StarkNet/StarkWare has a team of 180-190+ people, raised $225 million, and had a valuation of $8 billion. Yet with all those resources, it became one of the most greedy, mismanaged, and disconnected projects in crypto. The founder even referred to users as “Ebgger,” showing just how little respect they had for the community. A textbook example of how not to build a decentralized ecosystem.

“what a chain!”they didn't keep the promise made to community, scammed people who interacted with their funds all in the name of farming retro

“one of many useless L2s”

“Starknet is good?”It is an interesting network, but after the shame of the way that was your aircrop eventually fell into oblivion. I'm still there, aiming at Season 2, yet in the faith.

“A project that forgot its users”I rarely write negative reviews, but Starknet’s left me genuinely disappointed. I came in with real excitement - a new L2 with big promises, strong tech, and a supposedly community-aligned drop. Instead, the whole experience felt like the team was improvising criteria on the fly and hoping nobody would notice. When the TGE happened, the snapshot rules were so bizarre that half the active users I know didn’t even qualify. Watching people who actually used the network get flipped because they didn’t hold 0.01 ETH at a random moment was… surreal. The worst part wasn’t even the criteria, but the way the team handled the aftermath. Liquidity was dumped straight onto the market, communication was almost non-existent, and the community felt like an afterthought. You could feel the frustration building: people who grinded for months suddenly being told they “didn’t count.” I saw more anger in one week than most L2s get in a year, and honestly - I understood why. Still, I want to be fair. Under the chaos, the tech itself isn’t bad. Some users who did qualify were happy, and I know a few who think the outrage was exaggerated. But one thing is clear: trust was broken. Once you burn the early believers - the people who actually show up first - it’s very hard to rebuild that reputation. I wanted to be a fan. Instead, I walked away feeling like the community mattered the least in a process that should’ve been all about them.
