<p class="is-style-lead">The number of active users on the Starknet network dropped sharply after the announcement of the airdrop.</p> 
<p>According to Starkscan, the figure stands at 84,260 at the time of writing. Moreover, on Feb. 14, 2024, the number of active wallets in the network crossed the 225,000 mark. Then, the project team announced that on Feb. 20, it would distribute tokens, and 1.3 million users would receive rewards.</p>

<p>The decrease in activity on Starknet could be due to <a href="https://crypto.news/starknet-to-airdrop-700m-strk-tokens-to-1-3m-users/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">community dissatisfaction</a> regarding the criteria for receiving an <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/airdrop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">airdrop</a>. Thus, those who made five or more transactions over three or more separate months totaling at least $100 and had 0.005 ETH or more in their wallet before Nov. 15, 2023, were eligible to receive rewards in STRK tokens.</p> 
<p>One X user&nbsp;claimed that he did not receive tokens due to having less than 0.005 Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/Ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETH</a>) in his wallet, but he transacted thousands of dollars and added liquidity to the network.</p>
