Which ecological projects are worth interacting with as the Starknet airdrop approaches?

Read this article in 8 Minutes

Currently, there are multiple DeFi projects in the ecosystem that have a points system, and the zkLend public airdrop is coming soon.

On February 14th, the Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet finally announced the details of the STRK token airdrop, which users can claim starting from February 20th. With STRK as Gas, users can participate in ecosystem project interactions. For detailed airdrop distribution, please refer to our article "".

Last March, Arbitrum also announced its airdrop rules around the same time, which brought a lot of exposure to various ecological projects and led to a continuous stream of project airdrops, causing the value of project tokens to soar. The market activity during ARB's airdrop release cannot be compared to the present, and regardless of whether the Starknet ecosystem can perfectly handle the market heat, the interaction of ecological projects is worth participating in.

Users of the Braavos wallet can conveniently participate in ecosystem project interactions on the Starknet dApps navigation page. Here are some recommended interaction projects:

Nostra Finance

Nostra Finance is currently the largest DeFi protocol in terms of TVL on Starknet. The platform currently supports basic lending and swapping functions (integrated with AVNU). In addition, Nostra also plans to launch UNO, the first native stablecoin anchored to the US dollar on Starknet.

It is worth noting that Nostra currently has a points program, which rewards users based on their behavior on Nostra. The general points situation is as follows:

· 借出 translates to

· Lending in English.

Stablecoin: Every 1 US dollar = 1 point / day.Wave assets: 1 USD = 2 points per day.

· Borrowing

Stablecoin: Every 4 US dollars = 1 point / per day.

Volatility assets: Every 8 US dollars = 2 points / day.

· Provide liquidity for Chizi

In stablecoin/stablecoin pool, every 1 USD equals 2.5 points/per day.In the volatile asset/volatile asset pool, every 1 USD equals 5 points/every day.In the fluctuating asset/stablecoin pool, every 1 USD equals 10 points/every day.

Additionally, users will automatically generate an invitation link after depositing their first funds, which can be used to invite new users and increase points.

zkLend

zkLend is a crypto lending protocol built on StarkNet, combining the scalability of zk-rollup, excellent transaction speed, and cost savings through the security of Ethereum. zkLend meets the needs of users for efficient transaction speed and low transaction costs, supporting multiple tokens such as ETH/wBTC/USDC.

This agreement provides a dual solution: a licensed and compliant solution for institutional clients, and an unlicensed service for DeFi users - without sacrificing decentralization.

The ZEND airdrop page preview has also been launched on February 6th, which is considered one of the few openly airdropped projects in the current Starknet DeFi ecosystem.

AVNU

AVNU is a decentralized trading protocol and liquidity infrastructure aimed at always seeking the best execution strategies for traders and dApps on Starknet (and wider L2s). The project optimizes trade execution by searching for the best trade routes across multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and minimizing slippage. In addition, its Request for Quote (RFQ) system integrates market maker liquidity, optimizes price discovery, eliminates slippage, and provides MEV protection.

AVNU also has a points ranking system, with excellent product UI and user experience. Participating in AVNU interactions allows for a point-boosting strategy of exchanging USDT for USDC, with only gas fees required. Daily participation in trading pairs also has a certain cumulative gain effect on points.

Ekubo

Ekubo is a protocol similar to Nostra, which also supports users to swap or provide liquidity, and has a point system. However, the detailed point formula is not clear. Currently, the TVL is not as high as Nostra and does not support lending functions. But if you simply deposit some surplus funds to speculate, there is no problem.

Other similar DEX projects

In addition to the above projects, including 10KSwap, JediSwap, and mySwap, the functions and user experience of the three Swaps are basically the same. They are all relatively early DEX projects. The only difference is that Myswap has a points system, while the other two platforms do not. Users can use the strategy of exchanging USDT for USDC to interact simply by spending Gas.
