Solana officially announces the launch of the STRK token, marking the collaboration with Starknet.

Abstract generation in progress

【BitPush】New developments in the Solana ecosystem. The official announcement confirms that the STRK token has successfully gone live on the Solana network, this time achieved through a bridging solution via Near.

Interestingly, earlier, Solana officials had a public spat with Starknet on X, which caused quite a controversy. It now appears that the earlier online debate was actually a buildup for this collaboration—calling it a partnership isn’t wrong, as being able to bring Starknet’s token into the Solana ecosystem is mutually beneficial for both sides.

This reflects Solana’s ongoing efforts in scalability and cross-chain integration. Using intermediary protocols like Near to connect different ecosystems has become a mainstream technical solution. Will the arrival of STRK attract more users to participate in the Starknet ecosystem on Solana? The data will tell.

STRK-1,4%

Wow, this move is amazing. First fighting each other, then cooperating—classic case of "talks big but acts differently" haha

This move is quite interesting. We used to clash but now we're collaborating. I'm very familiar with this Web3 marketing approach. STRK on the Solana ecosystem, to put it simply, is still a matter of cross-chain liquidity. Using Near as an intermediary layer is also fine, mainly depends on whether the trading pairs can stay active. It's already 2024, and we're still researching token launch effects. Will the data really speak? It mainly depends on whether there are genuine application scenarios. The Starknet ecosystem seems to have been lukewarm all along. This time, it can ride the wave of Solana's popularity, but retaining talent is the key. Honestly, it feels like these two ecosystems are just riding each other's coattails, each trying to grab a piece of the pie.

Haha, this wave of mutual roasting was actually a marketing tactic. No wonder there was such a sudden turn of events. Everyone loves to watch the excitement, and Solana's move is indeed clever. I used to think the feud between those chains was real, but they turned around and collaborated. That's just how the circle works. Can STRK really attract traffic? I’m not so sure. Basically, everyone is just doing what they need to, and cross-chain interoperability is something everyone wants. The speed of ecosystem integration is really fast, but retaining users is the real key. Solana is still playing a big game.

Haha, this wave of public opinion warfare is indeed sophisticated. After the back-and-forth, they turn around and cooperate—classic crypto circle tactics. --- Basically, it's just leveraging marketing; the onlookers are all being played. --- But can STRK really siphon liquidity from Sol? I remain skeptical. --- Cross-chain integration sounds easy to talk about, but few projects actually land it reliably. --- So now Solana is helping Starknet with marketing? That's interesting. --- Wait, what role does Near play here? Feels like it's being used as an intermediary. --- Another token launch, and it's time to cut the leeks again. --- The back-and-forth leading to cooperation so quickly—I see through it. --- If data speaks, then I'll wait to see how STRK performs. --- Ecological integration sounds wonderful, but we’ll have to wait and see how it actually turns out.
