The Starknet Foundation has unveiled plans to distribute 1.8 billion STRK token rewards and rebates to drive the adoption and growth of the Starknet blockchain.

This group has been allocated an initial 50 million STRK to explore direct, indirect, and retroactive incentivization. The focus is on fostering increased liquidity, higher trading volumes, and overall growth within the Starknet Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
