On February 14, Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet finally lived up to expectations and announced the airdrop details of the token STRK. Starting from February 20, users can receive the STRK airdrop and use STRK as Gas to participate in ecological project interactions. For detailed airdrop allocation, please refer to the article on this site Starknet Airdrop is Coming! 1.3 million addresses are eligible, full view of STRK token distribution details”.

In March last year, Arbitrum also announced airdrop details at about the same time, which subsequently brought a lot of exposure to a number of ecological projects. Project airdrops continued one after another, and the value of project tokens increased. Moreover, the market activity when ARB released the airdrop cannot be compared with the current situation. Regardless of whether the Starknet ecosystem can perfectly absorb the market heat, the interaction of ecological projects is worth participating in.

Users using the Braavos wallet can easily participate in ecological project interactions on the Starknet dApps navigation page, which is more convenient. The following is a collection of recommended interactive projects:

Nostra Finance

Nostra Finance is currently TVL’s largest DeFi protocol on Starknet, and the platform currently supports basic lending and Swap functions (integrated AVNU). In addition, Nostra also plans to launch UNO, Starknet’s first native stablecoin anchored to the US dollar.

It is worth noting that Nostra currently has a points program, and points will be awarded based on the users behavior on Nostra. The approximate points are as follows:

• Lend

Stablecoin: Every 1 USD = 1 point/day

Volatile assets: per $1 = 2 points/day

• borrow

Stablecoins: Every 4 USD = 1 point/day

Volatile assets: every $8 = 2 points/day

• Provide liquidity to the pool

Stablecoin/stablecoin pool, every $1 = 2.5 points/day

In volatile assets/volatile asset pools, every $1 = 5 points/day

In volatile asset/stablecoin pool, every USD 1 = 10 points/day

In addition, after users deposit their first funds, an invitation link will be automatically generated, and new users can be invited to increase their points.

zkLend

zkLend is a crypto lending protocol built on StarkNet, combining the scalability of zk-rollup, superior transaction speed, and cost savings with the security of Ethereum. zkLend meets users needs for efficient transaction speed and low transaction costs, and supports multiple tokens such as ETH/wBTC/USDC.

The protocol offers a dual solution: a permissioned and compliance-focused solution for institutional clients, and a permissionless service for DeFi users – without sacrificing decentralization.

The ZEND airdrop page preview has also been launched on February 6, and it can be regarded as a rare well-known airdrop project in the current Starknet ecological DeFi.

AVNU

AVNU is a decentralized trading protocol and liquidity infrastructure designed to always seek to provide the best execution strategies for traders and dApps on Starknet (and L2s more broadly). The project optimizes trade execution and minimizes slippage by searching for the best trading routes across multiple decentralized exchanges (DEX). Additionally, its request-for-quote (RFQ) system integrates market maker liquidity, optimizes price discovery, eliminates slippage and provides MEV protection.

AVNU also has a points ranking. The product UI and interactive experience are relatively excellent. To participate in AVNU interaction, you can use the USDT exchange USDC strategy to earn points. You only need to pay Gas. Daily participation in transactions will have a certain effect on the accumulation of points.

Ekubo

Ekubo is a protocol very similar to Nostra. It also supports users to swap or provide liquidity. It also has a points function, but the detailed points formula is not clearly written. Currently, the TVL is not as high as Nostra, and it does not support lending functions. But if you simply save some rich funds and start gambling, there is no problem.

Other similar DEX projects

In addition to the above projects, the functions and user experience of the three Swaps including 10 KSwap, JediSwap and mySwap are basically the same. They are all relatively early DEX projects. The only difference is that Myswap has a points system, while the other two platforms do not. Gas can also use the USDT-to-USDC strategy for simple interaction.

Starknet.id

Starknet ecological domain name project, the current price of Mints new domain name is 0.085 ETH/year (approximately US$225).
