CM Profile: Starknet
Cryptominium Profile. What we have established, measured and written about STRK, and what we have not.
- Measured
- Selling $100,000 on 2 exchange order books lost between 0.27% and 0.35%, on 14 October 2026.
- Its price, recorded by us every day since 9 August 2026.
- Written, with sources
- Not established
- What an on-chain sale would return on Ethereum. It trades mostly off-chain there, so we do not measure it on-chain.
- 2 of its chains are not among the 3 we read.
- Whether it can be held without a company. We have no sourced answer yet.
- 4 other questions about what it can do have no written answer. Some may not apply to it.
Read from our own records when this page was made. It describes what we know, and is not a view on whether to hold STRK. How each part is worked out
What changed
Week to 15 October- Price up 38.6% since 8 October.
- 24-hour volume $151M, 3.8× its 30-day median.

What it actually costs to sell STRK
Selling $100,000 of STRK into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken STRK/USD | 0.27% | $99,732 | 2026-10-14 |
| Coinbase STRK/USD | 0.35% | $99,651 | 2026-10-14 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps STRK on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Starknet is
Starknet is a permissionless decentralized Layer 2 validity rollup built to help Ethereum scale, using cryptographic protocols called STARKs. It is designed to do this without compromising Ethereum's core principles of decentralization, transparency, inclusivity and security.
The STRK token operates the ecosystem and is used to secure and maintain it, and to decide on its values and strategic direction. It serves three functions: governance over the protocol, payment of transaction fees on Starknet, and participation in Starknet's consensus mechanism.
Starknet is a Layer 2 network, not a base layer — it depends on Ethereum for settlement and security, and the source material here says nothing about sequencer decentralization, finality times, or how consensus participation is actually structured in practice. The token's three stated roles (governance, fees, consensus) are the issuer's description of intended function, not a measurement of how much fee volume runs through it or how concentrated governance power is. It is classified under Layer 2, Zero Knowledge, and Ethereum Ecosystem categories, and is also listed as deployed on Solana and Starknet itself in addition to Ethereum — multi-chain deployment of a token is not the same as the rollup's core activity happening on multiple chains, and this passage does not clarify which. No figures on supply, unlock schedule, or distribution appear in the source, and none are given here; nothing about tokenomics should be assumed.

Our own measurement · measured 14 October 2026
STRK can be staked by delegating it to a validator that accepts delegation, sharing in its rewards. Taking it back out has a 7-day lock-up.

Since September 2025 the fees on Starknet can be paid only in STRK, so it is what running a program there costs. The docs say Starknet is currently still centralized and is handing block production over to validators step by step. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

Ten billion STRK were created in 2022, and the docs say further tokens are minted through an inflation mechanism. They add that the token's economics can change by governance decision.

Where STRK lives
On Solana, a mint authority can create more of the token and a freeze authority can freeze it in a holder's account; both are read from the token itself, every day. On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
