Starkware Lianchuang responded to the STRK unlocking controversy: The team will focus on promoting network development for a long time, and delaying
Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of Starkware, emphasized the roadmap of Starknet and explained why he believes that the release of a large number of investor and early contributor shares during the initial release of STRK will not harm the community in an interview with Decrypt. Ben-Sasson stated that the structure of the Starknet airdrop is indeed different from the traditional model, and the team has a slightly different view on things, believing it to be an advantage rather than a disadvantage for Starkware. The team believes that what users care about is whether developers will still be on the Starknet network in the Starkware or Starknet ecosystem and whether they will continue to drive network development in three months or a year. He can guarantee that Starkware's 150 employees and its expanding team are solely focused on driving Starknet development. To do this, Eli turned down a very attractive academic position. As for concerns that investors may rush to sell STRK tokens in April, thereby affecting the price of STRK, Ben-Sasson emphasized that extending the token lock-up period cannot prevent this from happening, and this concern may also occur a year later. Starkware made this decision because they believed that these people received the rewards they deserved for their contributions, and there was no improper use of the airdrop structure by individuals or teams. Unnecessary delay in the lock-up period is not the right approach when focusing on long-term development.
