<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Starknet price surged after StarkWare amended its STRK airdrop plan in response to a backlash from investors triggered by its original token unlock schedule.</span></p> 
<p>The original plan would have allowed some early investors to unlock 1.3 billion tokens worth more than $2.6 billion on April 15, prompting fears of a steep selloff.</p> 
<p>Under the revised plan, 0.64% of tokens worth about $125.5 million will unlock on April 15, compared to more than 13% under the original plan.</p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After that, 64 million STRK tokens will be introduced to the circulating supply on a monthly basis until March 2025. That cap will then be increased to 127 million </span><a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/starknet-price-prediction-strk-pumps-14-after-starkware-revises-token-unlock-plan-but-all-eyes-are-on-a-huge-airdrop-by-this-new-solana-meme-coin"><span style="font-weight: 400;">STRK</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> per month for the following two years.</span></p> 
<p>“We value this community and want to earn its trust by building great tech that embodies blockchain values and stands the test of time,” <span style="font-weight: 400;">StarkWare said in a Feb. 22 post on X. “Under the new unlock plan, 580 million tokens held by early contributors and investors will be unlocked by the end of 2024, as opposed to 2 billion of those tokens under the previous schedule.”</span></p>
