This diversity of the airdrop acknowledges the contributions of a wide range of developers and sets a new standard for inclusivity in the crypto space.

CEO of Starknet Foundation, Diego Olivia, emphasized the airdrop's role in scaling Ethereum for broader adoption, stating:

Provisions celebrates our community's hard work in showing how we can and should scale Ethereum for mass adoption.

Eli Ben-Sasson, a board member of the Starknet Foundation and CEO of StarkWare, expressed enthusiasm about the attention the airdrop is attracting to Starknet, underscoring the initiative's potential to boost the platform's visibility and appeal.

Users who qualify for the token must claim it until June 20. There is also hope for those who did not qualify this time, as the foundation hinted at more "provisions" in the future.

The airdrop is poised to significantly impact Ethereum's ecosystem, fostering a broader community involvement and setting new standards for inclusivity in the crypto space.
