gm Starklings, one day to go!
For those eligible, STRK Provisions will be live and available to claim tomorrow, 20.02.2024 at 12pm UTC. To check your addresses and to claim, please take care to use the correct URL, linked here: https://t.co/0BkVAZmZ1H.
We thank everyone who's participated, advocated, celebrated and spoken out during these last days.

We're listening, we hear you all, and thanks to your digging and feedback, community outreach helped us to identify a few necessary changes prior to distribution. We're grateful for this input, and have made some important updates thanks to your participation.
Immediate changes are listed below:
- A fix for ~900 Ethereum home stakers with multiple validators, who had been erroneously counted with only a single validator, will receive a total amount of ~6.5M STRK.
- The team at https://t.co/V8UpvSjCV1 updated their staker classification models this week, using input from the community. This results in over 6.9M STRK distributed to 1,000+ solo stakers who were previously mislabeled!
- Correction to an issue that resulted in eligibility to ~1900 GitHub handles that were changed after a snapshot was taken, and that were squatted on following the Provisions announcement. Over 1M STRK were saved for potential future community allocation.
- On StarkEx, a discrepancy allowing a custodial company to make claims based on ~200K users' keys was removed, and a process will be outlined for those users to receive Provisions at a later date.
These changes will be applied tomorrow, 20.02.2024, and anyone who feels that they may have been impacted by the updates above can re-check their STRK provisions here: https://t.co/0BkVAZmZ1H then.

Further, we hear the feedback that some dedicated community members and network users have been left out due to certain Provisions criteria, and we are actively working to address these concerns. A meaningful resolution for these users requires time to research, design and test. It is in process and among our top priorities post-Provisions.
โจโโโจโโโจ
Finally, weโre excited to say that new programs and opportunities to participate will be made available shortly as well. As always, our goal is to improve and to decentralize Starknet further with each step, and your voices and support are helping us to navigate these pivotal steps together.
I am happy to share my experience with @OnlyDust_com, helping with rewards to external contributors and fostering the development of public good open-source projects in the #starknet space! Let's build together for a brighter future! ๐ #OpenSource#PublicGood
Airdrop from $STRK today, a lot of disappointed users, which is understandable, but above all it shows that we've reached a problematic point in the crypto ecosystem.
I'm not an OG of the ecosystem, I arrived rather late (end 2020) but it's enough to have seen the change in trend. At the time, and from my point of view, the Airdrop meta was not as present as it is today.
Now it's driving virtually every ecosystem, with user retention becoming increasingly low because they'll be gone to the next one and can sometimes bring technologies that have no business being there at this stage of development, usage and utility, to indecent levels of capitalization.
Sybils are becoming more and more numerous and sophisticated, which can be a major risk if they aren't hunted down properly, as can pure farming by real users just looking for magic internet money. Without a real on-chain humanity identity, it's impossible to rewards enthusiastic users of your technology without risking airdropping tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to robots.
Also, Airdrops have transformed an ecosystem of pioneers and people with strong core values about technology, into e-beggars. This is the peak of the "Fake it until your make it" mentality and even the most honest developers in this space have to comply, otherwise they can't compete in terms of adoption and visibility of their tech.
Adoption today rhymes with giving away free money and we have to change that, otherwise crypto will stay and will die as a giant internet casino. Our social graph, which originally wanted to get away from this, has simply recreated a new rat race in the metaverse.
I'm pretty sure that @Starknet's decision to reward first and foremost its devellopers and core contributors who had to make a difficult choice to position themselves on a brand new technological stack is the right one. Because the sooner we get out of the magic internet money business, the sooner we'll be able to create interesting tools for society as a whole.
I expect this cycle and the ensuing bearmarket to be the one of maturation, the one that will be decisive in showing that we've built more than just an on-chain casino, and that this technology has a real future in people's lives, and not just a stupid pump and dump hyper-financialization of absolutely everything.
It was a normal phase in this chaotic search for the best technology, but now some are almost mature enough to bring real value to the people on the other side.
The degens culture will remain, that's for sure, the giant casino side too, but it will be completely transformed towards a new way of creating, having fun, meeting and collaborating, because there's no reason that's the simple fact of making a few Tx every week on a blockchain should allow you to earn more than the people who create value outside 7 hours a day.
So embrace this opportunity while it still exists, but don't forget that it's approaching a breaking point. We're about to enter a phase where creativity will be far more rewarding for everyone than realizing what a robot does better than we do. Exactly as Starknet has chosen to do in part.
