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.

“"e-beggars" inventors”This is a team that invented term "e-beggars" - in my opinoins there are only few projects in crypto that damaged themselves (unncessarily) harder then this by having totally dumb presence on social media.

“dead chain”teknologi yang bagus namun tidak loyal kepada komunitas sehingga menjadi chain yang sepi dan jarang dipakai. akibat tidak fair ketika meluncurkan airdrop dan itu mambuat semua komunitas kecewa

“Starknet - great tech, broken trust”Starknet might be one of the most advanced Layer-2s on Ethereum, but the way they handled their airdrop was a mess. Instead of rewarding loyal users, the distribution felt rushed and careless, leaving many in the community feeling ignored. It came across less like supporting contributors and more like wiping their feet on the very people who helped build the ecosystem.

“Big Scam Project”Starknet is a walking disaster. It does not fulfill any of its key functions: it is not secure, stable and convenient. It is some kind of student project that was posted online in the hope that users themselves will finish it. Downloading and installing this program is a direct threat to the security of your PC and a waste of nerves. Run away from here and do not waste your time.

“Still Not Ready for Prime Time”Tried Starknet lately and it’s honestly pretty frustrating. There have been security issues like the zkLend exploit that cost users millions, and smart contract vulnerabilities still feel risky. The network is hyped for decentralization, but some things are still pretty centralized and recent upgrades caused short outages and volatility. Bridging and cross-chain features sound cool, but they add complexity and new problems, making it hard to trust for serious DeFi. There’s potential, but right now it’s buggy and not worth the risk.

“Starknet didn’t reward most users. I spent time using the testnet and mainnet without any reward”They called users E begger and blocked some users for calling them out. It was really a bad token distribution in the long run. I personally minted some NFTs on starknet but got no allocation for it.

“50/50”The project has earned both praise and criticism. One major issue has been the distribution of its tokens. When Starknet launched its STRK token, only about 9 percent went to everyday users. The vast majority was reserved for insiders like the team, investors, and the foundation. Many in the community felt this clashed with the ideals of decentralisation and fairness. Some even argued that the governance is too controlled by a few.

“Starkness”An excellent L2 hampered by a (current) lack of usage compared to other L2s like Arbitrum and Base. The tech is great (STARKs are incredible) and I'm hoping adoption will grow as time goes on and devs (and users) get used to Cairo more.

“numbers tell a harsher story”367 reviews but only 23% positive, no vouched trust and zero xp on starknet , the metrics paint a profile that raises more red flags than confidence. influence without foundation often leaves more questions than answers.

“Sold Their community and told them Ebager”Such a stupid team with a product that nobody use! They have no idea what community is! stay away from Starknet, cause they don't know what they are doing AT ALL!
