In an impressive showcase of growth, StarkNet, a prominent Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, has seen its total value locked (TVL) soar to a staggering $1.32 billion shortly after the launch of its native token, STRK. This development propels StarkNet into the elite group of Ethereum Layer-2 networks, marking it as the fourth of its kind to surpass the $1 billion TVL milestone.
Data from L2Beat, a platform that monitors and analyzes Layer-2 protocols, highlights the composition of StarkNet's TVL. A significant portion, approximately 83.65%, is attributed to its newly released native token, STRK. Ethereum (ETH) makes up 11.41% of the total, while stablecoins account for 3.78%, showcasing a diverse range of assets contributing to StarkNet's growing ecosystem.
