Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2 validity rollup, has opened a community vote to determine the fate of a significant upgrade: Allowing payments for transaction fees using STRK, its token.
The change, being checked for now as part of the 0.13.0 version, would create a two-payment system where people can pay with either STRK or ETH coins.
Even though STRK hasn’t started yet, the voting process is happening using a system where others vote for them.
Starknet Foundation has already given voting rights to a wide group of independent delegates, making sure that the community is represented even before they release their tokens. This method deals with worries about token owners not having voting power before the free giveaway.
Starknet is asking all the people in its group to join talks and share their views on any changes they want, no matter if they’re picked or not. The community forum is a place for people to talk and listen.
The voting period is open from January 4th at 7:From midnight to January 8th, you can access this via the Starknet Governance Hub.
Potential Impact on STRK Issuance
The fast effect on STRK making is unknown, but the vote’s result could greatly affect if and how easily this token gets started in Starknet. As people in the community talk and choose, excitement builds for STRK’s possible release on mainnet.
The focus will stay on Starknet’s pledge to community control and how it affects the use of their native token.
