Starknet.ID Offers Rewards for Building Your Digital Identity
Starknet.ID, an identity provider on the Starknet network, is offering a unique opportunity for users to engage with their project and earn rewards.
This protocol allows individuals to create their own Starknet Identity, which can be likened to an on-chain passport, and attach various elements to it. One distinctive feature is the ability to register ".stark" human-readable domains, which serve as personal Starknet usernames.
The platform is built on top of StarkNet, a permissionless decentralized zk (zero-knowledge) rollup network that offers scalable solutions within a secure Ethereum-like state. As an L2 (layer-2) network, StarkNet ensures unlimited scalability for decentralized applications (DApps) without compromising security and composability.
While the Starknet blockchain has recently gone mainnet, no token has been launched yet. However, users who have already minted a domain on both the mainnet and testnet may have the opportunity to participate in an airdrop if they decide to launch their own token.
To get started on Starknet.ID, users are advised to follow a few simple steps.
- First, they should visit the StarkNet ID website.
- Next, users need to connect their Argent X wallet, which will be used for transactions within the Starknet ecosystem.
- In order to mint a domain, users will require ETH, which can be obtained from Binance or any other relevant exchange.
- After securing some ETH, users can visit the StarkNet bridge to transfer their funds from the Ethereum mainnet to StarkNet.
- Users can then proceed to purchase their desired .STARK domain
For a higher chance of rewards, it is recommended to purchase multiple domains across different wallets. Additionally, users can explore the Starknet testnet and complete the Odyssey OG role quests for further engagement.
The primary goal of the StarkNet ID protocol is to act as a versatile passport for StarkNet, enabling users to securely store and share their desired data within the ecosystem. By utilizing a StarkNet ID, users can streamline the data access process for various protocols. Instead of repeatedly providing their information, users can grant direct access to the data stored within their StarkNet ID, benefiting both users and protocols alike.
Looking towards the future, the grand vision behind Starknet.ID is to create a society where web3 has become mainstream. In such a future, a person's starknet.id could serve as a reliable and comprehensive "digital identity" compared to the current self-issued credentials found on platforms like LinkedIn and job resumes. While this long-term vision remains on the horizon, the immediate focus for Starknet.ID is to build a decentralized identity service that can be utilized by all Starknet protocols.
