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.

“Scammy team, scammy chain, scammy builders on the chain, scammy airdrop, just scammy all around. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”Highly recommend staying away from Starknet (also known as Scamnet) at all costs. The team building starknet itself AND the teams building on top of starknet are all addicted to scammy behaviour.

“Honest”Let's be honest. They made a good airdrop but they didn't want to build afterwards.

“Dead network”Starknet is a frustrating network where a huge number of users got dumped on despite massive investments, yet it lacks active users and revenue. Two years ago, it set unreasonable reward conditions for active users, driving many to leave and abandon the network. Now, it’s essentially turned into a ghost chain, with little to no activity.

“Story Tale of Neglect and Collapse”I initially had high hopes for Starknet, especially after their much-hyped airdrop. The airdrop itself was genuinely impressive generous allocations, for me personally, smooth distribution, and a lot of excitement around the project’s potential in the L2 space. At the time, it felt like Starknet was poised to become a major player, with their focus on scalability and ZK-proofs. I received over 11,000 $STRK tokens, which, at their peak, were valued at over $30,000. It was an exciting moment, and I was optimistic about the ecosystem’s future. However, what followed can only be described as a maddening downward spiral that has left me, and likely many others, deeply frustrated. The core issue is Starknet’s apparent lack of support for its ecosystem and token holders. While the team proudly boasts about hiring more developers to “buidl” (as they love to emphasize), the reality on the ground tells a different story. Projects within the Starknet ecosystem are winding down one by one, with little to no visible effort from the Starknet team to support or sustain them. If the team is so focused on building, why aren’t they prioritizing the existing projects that are struggling to survive? It feels like a disconnect between their public narrative and the actual state of the ecosystem. Instead of fostering growth and stability, we’re seeing abandonment, and it’s disheartening. The most egregious issue, however, is the complete lack of token support for $STRK. I watched helplessly as the value of my 11,000+ $STRK tokens (friend of mine still holding 70k $STRK… RIP) plummeted from a high of over $30,000 to a shocking $0.10 per token a near-total collapse. This wasn’t just a market dip; it felt like a straight-up dump with zero intervention or support from the Starknet team. I’ve seen projects with volatile tokens before, but Starknet’s approach (or lack thereof) is on another level of neglect. There’s been no clear communication, no meaningful efforts to stabilize the token’s value, and no apparent strategy to incentivize adoption or utility within the ecosystem. It’s as if the team is content to let $STRK bleed out while they focus on hiring more developers for unclear purposes. The lack of token support isn’t just a financial hit - it erodes trust. For a project that promised so much with its airdrop and vision, the failure to follow through with meaningful ecosystem development or token management is baffling. I’ve held onto my tokens, hoping for a turnaround, but the silence and inaction from Starknet have made it clear that they’re not prioritizing their community or token holders. It’s hard to recommend investing time, let alone money, into a project that seems so detached from its own ecosystem’s health. In summary, while the Starknet airdrop was a great start, the team’s failure to support existing projects and their nonexistent token support have turned what could have been a promising investment into a nightmare. I’m left with tokens worth a fraction of their original value and a bitter taste from a project that seems more focused on optics than delivering for its community. Starknet, please step up and show some accountability - support your projects, stabilize your token, and rebuild the trust you’ve lost.

“Directo al Hoyo”La verdad, Starknet me generó mucha ilusión cuando salió, pero con el tiempo se fue desinflando. Entre lo mal organizado que estuvo todo, la experiencia de uso que nunca terminó de cuajar y el tema del airdrop que dejó a tantos decepcionados, la cadena perdió casi todo el interés. Hoy por hoy casi nadie habla de ella ni le encuentra una razón para usarla. La sensación general es que se quedó en promesas sin cumplir.

“No place in crypto”Once a hyped network, now it’s gone blank. I wonder why this chain even exists in the first place.

“"It's long, and tedious, but useful"”Technology alone cannot survive for long without the support of the community, the world does not stand still, I appreciate Starknet for their developments, but the rating indicates the lost expectations of the main consumer of technology - the community. I sincerely believe that the team will find a way out of this situation!

“High-potential tech still finding its stride”Starknet is clearly built on solid technology. The Cairo language and ZK focus give it long-term potential. But as a user, the experience still feels early sometimes clunky, sometimes slow. That said, the builder ecosystem is growing fast, and the team seems committed. If they continue to improve UX and onboarding, Starknet could be a major force in the next cycle.

“Informative”I recently had the opportunity to engage with X’s account on Starknet, and I must say, it has been an excellent experience. X demonstrates a deep understanding of the Starknet ecosystem, consistently providing valuable insights, updates, and thoughtful commentary. Their content is not only informative but also accessible, making complex topics easier to understand for both newcomers and seasoned users.

“Gave literally a zero airdrop after years of activity”The StarkNet airdrop was one of the most anticipated in the Ethereum ecosystem—but its execution left much to be desired. While StarkWare marketed the STRK airdrop as a community reward, in reality, it alienated large portions of its early adopters and power users Many early users of StarkNet, especially those who bridged funds, interacted with dApps, or provided liquidity, found themselves completely excluded. Instead, the airdrop heavily favored certain groups like Ethereum stakers or developers using Cairo—even if they barely touched StarkNet itself. This felt like a slap in the face to those of us who actually tested the network during its unstable early days. The airdrop eligibility logic was not transparently communicated. The criteria seemed arbitrary, leading to confusion and frustration. Users with extensive on-chain activity received nothing, while others with minimal interaction were rewarded. This lack of transparency significantly damaged trust.
