THIS IS NOT CYPHERPUNK! Stop shifting the story.
> Matter Labs is a zealous proponent of the libertarian, cypherpunk ethos and the values stated in the ZK Credo
Those are beautiful words but actions speak louder than words!
> Everything we create is released to the public under free open source licenses.
That is amazing, I gladly acknowledge it and I will continue to do so.
> Trademarks, however, exist to protect users, not companies.
Protecting against who in this case ? Playing the rules of a system we want to fight against does not seem like a good idea. This sets a very bad precedent.
> . We had earlier reached out to the legal team of the Ethereum Foundation and offered to cooperate on creating a legal framework to make the use of “ZK” and similar important tech terms in the public domain.
You spoke to them about this today. The application was 2 months ago come on. Why not speaking with all the players then if it was your noble intention ? It seems you got caught and trying to distract attention and shifting the story.
> We invite others to participate in this initiative – in particular, those who filed trademarks related to STARKs.
Check image.
And please stop making it look like it's about competition or something, it's not. I would say exactly the same if I was not working at StarkWare.
ZK is bigger than all of us and what you did is bad and against ethos the values of blockchain, period.

We have seen that a preview of an iteration of a possible provisions portal has been shared on social media. As noted a year ago in the original announcement of the STRK token, the Starknet Foundation is developing plans to distribute the token to certain users/contributors for past activity at some point. Tech teams build and test different front ends, some of which see the light of day and some which don't.
Please note that the screenshots contained draft plans that are still under development. The cut-off for any criteria used to determine who may receive tokens or how many tokens is in the past and no actions or activity now can impact eligibility in any way. We will share the finalized official criteria and details around the provision allocations when they are ready.
Lastly, please beware of scams. Follow information on our official channels.
