Starknet Foundation and StarkWare have revealed their plan to distribute 10% of network fees to developers through a pilot program named “Devonomics.” Under this initiative, early developers of the Starknet platform will collectively receive 1,600 ETH, valued at approximately $3.5 million. The program aims to reward and empower developers who have contributed to the growth and activities of the network since its launch in November 2021.
Furthermore, the program seeks to incentivize developers to engage in maintaining and securing the blockchain platform through staking. The 10% of all network fees will be distributed with 8% going to developers of decentralized applications (dApps) and 2% allocated to core developers.
Starknet Foundation’s ‘Devonomics’ pilot program adds to the initiatives aimed at empowering key network stakeholders, including the recent announcement of a potential 1.8 billion STRK airdrop.
