After getting Arbitrum’s juicy airdrop, it’s appropriate time to invest your money in another ecosystem for potential airdrop. This ecosystem is STARKNET (by StarkWare).

StarkWare’s total fund raised is 282,5$ million. 9% of the initial token allocation will be granted for Community Provisions.

This article will help to save your time doing extra research on Startk’s projects, so you can directly start interact with the ecosystem with this Guide. All activities that will be shown in this article require you to interact with Starknet Mainnet. And of course remember DYOR. 😇 Check Ecosystem.

Don’t SWAP more than 200-300$ per time, otherwise SLIPPAGE gonna put a dent in your wallet 😰

*There’re some protocols that requires testnet interaction. Faucet LINK, Goerli Bridge to Starknet.*

Before we begin our journey in StarkNet, we need download StarkNet compatible wallet. There’re 2 wallets on StarkNet: Braavos and ArgentX. I prefer Braavos, so I will use only interact with it (Braavos’s also planning it’s own token). 🤔

Braavos was created with the goal to make a self-custodial wallet which is easy and reassuring to use as a custodial solution, while not compromising on the huge benefits of decentralization and self-custody of assets. 👉 Download HERE.

Now we need to SET UP/Deploy our Braavos wallet.

The only to SET UP/Deploy the wallet is to transfer some funds, I used Orbiter bridge for that (Orbiter confirmed that will have own TOKEN). 👉 Redirect HERE.

Once you transferred your funds, complete the SET UP/Deploy process directly in your Braavos wallet and that’s all 👌 Now we can proceed warming up process ✅

👉 Discord: braavos

After Braavos’s last update, you can check all your Starknet’s interaction directly from the myBraavos (amount of txs, protocols interactions etc)

Once we’ve got out wallet, it’s time to transfer our funds in the proper way to the StarkNet by using native bridge.

StarkGate is native the Ethereum↔Starknet token bridge *developed *by StarkWare. Each supported token is associated with an L1 and L2 bridge contracts that are communicating via Starknet's messaging mechanism.

I did 2 transactions with StarkGate (👉 redirect) 😋 550$ USDT each
