StarkNet’s 2025 cross-chain bridge airdrop leverages its ZK-rollup tech, scaling Ethereum with 100x cost cuts and 1,000 TPS, a spectral leap over Layer 1’s 15 TPS. Its STARK proofs ensure security, outshining rivals’ 5% failure rates. Participation involves bridging assets via StarkGate—users stake 0.1 ETH, complete tasks like swaps, and earn tokens. Eligibility favors early adopters (50% allocation), with 20% TVL growth signaling hype. Rewards may yield 10% returns, but gas fees (0.01 ETH) and bridge risks (1% exploit history) linger. The market’s rhythm, a hopeful beat, weaves StarkNet’s promise, a fragile thread where tech prowess meets user trust—join early, but tread cautiously in this cross-chain dance.
