EduSeries #3: Starknet ($STRK) – The God Technology, Price in Mourning
$STRK
If $GRASS is data pipes and $MANTA is cheap L2, Starknet ($STRK) is the "Ferrari" in the Ethereum L2 world. The problem is, this Ferrari is driven on traffic jams with prices that make no sense for retail. Let's dissect the details.
Technically, Starknet is the most advanced ZK-Rollup because it uses STARKs technology (not ordinary SNARKs). What's the difference? STARKs are much more scalable and do not require trusted setup. They have their own programming language called Cairo. As a developer, I admit Cairo is genius because of provable code, but for the ecosystem, it’s a double-edged sword: the barrier to entry is extremely high. Not just any developer can copy-paste dApps here.
Why does the price make it hard to breathe? The classic problem: Overvaluation & Low Retention. When a massive airdrop is distributed, most recipients are token hunters with no loyalty. They immediately dump onto the market. Plus, the FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) of Starknet is massive compared to the circulating supply.
Looking back at the peak price in the near future? Difficult. Without massive inflow of developers and adoption of unique dApps (not just regular DEX or Lending), this coin will continue to be pressured by investor token unlock schedules.
Conclusion: Starknet is a victory for cryptography technology, but currently it’s still a loss for retail wallets that only have FOMO capital without research into vesting schedules.
