Like many other airdrops, the much anticipated Ethereum L2 STRK airdrop has allegedly captured the attention of token farmers.
A much-anticipated airdrop from Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Starknet may be dominated by airdrop farmers.
According to a February 15 report by Yearn Finance developer banteg, 1,854 individuals allegedly renamed or deleted their accounts after a blockchain snapshot was taken for the basis of the Starknet airdrop next Monday. The Starknet Foundation will allocate 700 million STRK tokens out of a total of 1.8 billion to 1.3 million eligible wallet addresses on February 20, with 50% of the tokens going to protocol users.
However, citing GitHub data, banteg claims that 1,175 out of the alleged 1,854 renamed accounts have identical historical GitHub IDs, and that excluding such accounts from the airdrop snapshot would reduce the number of eligible wallets by 701,544.
