Have you heard the buzz about the StarkNet Airdrop? Hold on to your hats because, in this post, I'll be breaking down what this airdrop is all about, why it's a game-changer, and how you can participate!   Starknet raised $250M in funding from top investors such as Paradigm, Sequoia, and Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. STARK a native token for the Starknet has been confirmed by the team, therefore they could launch the biggest retroactive airdrop of the year, I'd say it could be the biggest airdrop historically. So, you must not miss the opportunity to be eligible for the biggest drop of the year.

How To Position Yourself For The Starknet Airdrop Before starting anything, you'll need a Starknet wallet. Currently, there are two best wallets Argent and Braavos. You can use any one of them or both, but you cannot use the same wallet in both applications as you do in Metamask and Coinbase.

Argent wallet: One of the best Starknet wallets with enhanced security features available on Chrome extension and mobile. We suggest you use Chrome extension because the mobile version has many limitations as of now.

Braavos wallet: Another great Starknet wallet with a high user rating and a great UI. You can use the same wallet in their browser extension and mobile app. This could be an advantage for some users who love to keep using one wallet on both laptop and mobile device

Once you set up your wallet, fund it by receiving ETH on it.
