The Starknet Foundation is handing out 1.7 billion STRK in voting power to community delegates through a structured three-tier system designed to pull governance away from a small circle of early contributors and push it toward people who actually show up.
Applications are now open for delegates across all three tiers. The initiative, announced on March 4, 2025, represents one of the largest single governance distributions in Layer 2 history, touching 180 delegate seats in total.
How the three-tier system works
Tier 1 is the heavyweight class: 700 million STRK split across 20 delegates, with each receiving 35 million tokens in voting power.
Tier 2 spreads 600 million STRK across 60 delegates, at 10 million tokens each.
