Starknet's active addresses fell back to their normal range after the airdrop announcement, dropping from 226,576 on Feb. 14 to 70,219 by Feb. 19, in line with the average of the past three months. The article says the spike was a temporary reaction to the airdrop news and that the earlier figure was not typical of the network's usual activity. It links the community backlash to users excluded for missing the 0.005 ETH wallet minimum on Nov. 15, 2023, and to STRK tokens distributed to Ethereum solo stakers. StarkWare Co-Founder and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson defended the airdrop criteria on the Unchained podcast.

Oof, that's a big rip.

Imo their idea of the airdrop distribution is right (arguably shitty execution tho) but man, people seem to be really mad.

Wondering how big % of people who are mad are airdrop farmers. I made a few activities on Starknet and didn't receive any allocation, but tbh, I don't think I deserved any for bridging and doing one swap :)
