Starknet’s ZK-Rollup camp plans to launch the STRK token on January 22, 2024.

At that time, STRK tokens will be used as TX fee to be used in the operation of the main network. Look forward to it.

Here is a brief sharing of Starknet’s new Token paradigm:

The functions of the 1-token contract will be more simplified and will only be responsible for basic trading functions, while functions such as authorization and distribution will be controlled by the user's personal AA account. This can avoid security incidents in the token system contract, resulting in the transfer of a large number of authorized user assets. This feature enhances users' control over assets while reducing the scope of losses that may be caused by security vulnerabilities in token contracts.

2 Users can batch approval and transfer, thereby reducing Gas consumption, and can reduce the cost of using L2 by setting the Gas Token to STRK and enhance the practical value of the Token. This approach is expected to change the current powerless situation of Layer2 Tokenomics.

3) In order to judge the airdrop situation, you can monitor whether Starknet has deployed a new Claim contract. This is because there is a management contract missing between the simple token contract and the user's AA contract account, which is used to define the user's qualifications, allocation amount and validity period. Officials can also directly distribute STRK to various accounts, but it is difficult to establish transparent claim standards and logic, so it is likely to require additional claim airdrop contracts to achieve this.

4) By adding the Transfer Hook transfer hook function, users gain more programmable features and can manage their account assets more intelligently and conveniently. For example, when transferring money, you can withdraw a certain percentage to a designated charging address to implement the transaction fee mechanism; you can also implement different risk control logic based on the size of the transfer to implement whitelist or blacklist access control.

5) Starknet’s new Token paradigm not only releases the rich features of AA accounts, but also inspires Tokenomics. For example, Starknet officials can distribute restricted airdrops to project parties and release the airdrop claim rights in stages based on the dynamics of users' contributions, thereby avoiding the pressure of a full release of airdrops that would cause a market crash. In theory, such a "refined" airdrop method is feasible, but it depends on how it is designed and implemented.
