Starknet

<div class="dailyhodl">
 <p>Top global crypto exchange Binance has rolled out trading support for the new Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 scaling project Starknet (STRK).</p>
 <p>Starknet kicked off its first token allocation on Tuesday.</p>
 <div class="code-block code-block-055f5289fd7e731bb72be7c5a19d18ed code-block-1">  
 </div>
 <p>The project plans to distribute more than 700 million Starknet tokens to nearly 1.3 million addresses.</p>
 <p>Eligible individuals and groups will have four months to claim their tokens, and unclaimed STRK will be distributed in future rounds.</p>
 <p>Binance attached a seed tag to STRK. The exchange applies seed tags to lower-liquidity tokens that have more volatility potential, and users who own assets with tags are required to pass quizzes every 90 days to ensure they’re aware of their inherent risks.</p>
 <p>STRK, which is already the 60th-ranked crypto asset by market cap, is down more than 53% from its launch price of $3.55. The token is trading at $2.05 at time of writing.</p>
 <p>The&nbsp;Starknet&nbsp;is a decentralized validity rollup, otherwise known as a zero-knowledge (ZK) roll-up.</p>
 <p>Rollups are solutions that execute transactions outside of Ethereum’s blockchain but record the transactional data. The&nbsp;two types&nbsp;of rollups are optimistic rollups and ZK rollups. Optimistic rollups automatically assume transactions are valid, while ZK rollups run computations off the chain and then submit a validity report.</p>
