Starknet (STRK)

A lot of people don’t actually believe in the projects they defend.

They believe in the allocation they might get from defending it.

Big difference.

That’s why someone can defend a project for months before TGE, then call it a rug the moment the reward does not match their expectation.

You saw it with some people around Starknet.

You saw it with zkSync.

You’re seeing it again with MegaETH.

Before reward:

They say good tech, real infra, long-term play

After reward:

They say team rugged, waste of time, VC chain, never using this again

And it works the other way too.

A project people were doubting can suddenly become “one of the best teams in crypto” if the airdrop is good enough.

Arbitrum rewarded well, people respected it.

Jupiter rewarded users well, people defended it harder.

That’s why crypto opinions are funny.

Sometimes people are not judging the product.

They are judging how much the product paid or can pay them.

Starknet is quietly laying the groundwork for two things crypto will need in the years ahead: privacy and quantum resistance.

In the v0.14.3 proposal, two notable changes are currently up for vote:

• Keccak support for client-side proving, paving the way for private transactions that leverage EVM signatures.

• Replacing Pedersen with Blake in SNOS, an important step toward strengthening resilience against future quantum computing risks.

Voting is now open to stakers and delegators and will remain open until June 26.

Upgrades like these may not generate flashy headlines, but they are the kind of foundational infrastructure decisions that will determine which blockchains remain relevant over the next 5–10 years.
