💵Initial Distribution

At launch we distributed $STAR and $veSTAR to users and protocols we believe are likeliest to contribute to our mission to become the best DEX and launchpad of ZKSync ecosystem.

Community Airdrop:50%

12,500,000 (50%) $STARtokens will be distributed to the people who have played the biggest role in incubating Starmaker and those likeliest to contribute to its long-term success.

Details of airdrop will be annouced intime.

ECO-System:20%

We will consider a variety of metrics in assessing the available partners within ZKSync ecosystem.

The airdrop of 5,000,000(20%)$veSTAR is aimed at attracting and engaging more than 20 protocols most likely to contribute to ZKSync's long-term success.

The amount of $veSTAR airdropped will provide just enough voting power to familiarize the protocols with the ecosystem and give them a head start, but it will leave space for the protocols to accrue value by acquiring $STAR for long-term liquidity provision.

Grants: 12.5%

We have reserved 3,125,000 (12.5%) $veSTAR to distribute to partner projects which plan to . This will be used to engage partners in the ecosystem through grants.

Team:10%

The team will receive an initial allocation that it will use to vote to drive emissions to key protocol pairs such as and to support ongoing protocol development. The total team allocation is 2,500,000 (10%) in and $veSTAR .

The team will vest 25% of its initial allocation in the form of a $veSTAR and use it to vote for $STAR pairs in perpetuity.

While a fully autonomous and immutable protocol is an admirable objective, it comes at a cost. Starmaker will ensure its long-term sustainability by employing a dedicated team focused on supporting the product, documentation, community, and ecosystem. As the protocol evolves, the Starmaker team will consider introducing more immutability or DAO components where appropriate.

To cover ongoing expenses and all the upcoming development efforts, 3% of the emissions will be going to the team address.

The token will be vested for 6 months and linearly released in 24 months.

Donation:5%

1,250,000(5%) $STARof will be donated to ZKSync foundation when it launched to maker a long-term contribution to the whole ecosystem.

Genesis Liquidity Pools:2.5%

Genesis Pools will distribute 625,000(2.5%) $STAR to liquidity providers of foundational token pairs to provide better liquidity and user experience from launch day. Genesis pool emissions will be first directed to the $STAR-$USDC pool and will start a few days before the first epoch votes are cast.
