#GateSquareMayTradingShare EduSeries #3: Starknet ($STRK ) – God Technology, Price in Mourning
$STRK 0.04STRK/USDT+3.58%
If $GRASS S is a data pipeline and $MANTA is an affordable L2, Starknet ($STRK ) is the "Ferrari" in the Ethereum L2 world. The problem is, this Ferrari is driven on traffic jams with prices that don't make sense for retail. Let's dissect its core.
Technically, Starknet is the most advanced ZK-Rollup because it uses STARKs technology (not ordinary SNARKs). The difference? STARKs are much more scalable and don't 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 very high. Not just any developer can copy-paste dApps here.
Why does its price make it hard to breathe? The classic problem: Overvaluation & Low Retention. When a massive airdrop is distributed, most recipients are token hunters who lack loyalty. They immediately dump it onto the market. Plus, the FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) of Starknet is massive compared to the circulating token 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.
