Starknet StrkBTC Faucet Flips Switch, Drops Privacy-Wrapped Bitcoin
Starknet's weekly strkBTC faucet is now live, allowing registered users to claim their share of privacy-wrapped Bitcoin. The faucet distributes approximately $833 worth of strkBTC per week among up to 100 randomly selected participants, translating to roughly $8.33 per person.
The registration for the next round reopens on September 29. To participate, users must connect a Starknet-compatible wallet like Xverse and pass a screening confirmation. They will then receive an unshielded allocation of strkBTC along with a bonus in STRK, Starknet's native token.
Users can optionally switch their claim to a shielded state through compatible wallets, making their holdings private. This is made possible by the STRK20 privacy framework, which allows holders to move between transparent and shielded states at will.
