Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 🌟

How do I know what the APY is for my STRK deposit?

You can find the current APY for STRK on both the Dashboard and Markets pages on our platform. The distribution APY can reach up to 20% in the first round, but it may decrease if the payout cap for the specific period has been exceeded. This ensures fair and balanced rewards for all participants. 📊

Why are my rewards not showing up?

Rewards from STARFALL will be calculated after the campaign concludes and will be visible and claimable on the platform starting 6 Mar 2024. A separate claim window will be available then on zkLend to claim and access your rewards; however, you will not be able to see your campaign reward amount until then. This allows for accurate distribution based on your participation. Separately, if you earned a base APY on STRK, this will accrue alongside your principle as with other deposits. 📅

Will my STRK be lent out during this period?

Your STRK may be lent out once Collateral and Borrow Factors have been implemented. If that is the case, your desposits will earn the additional Base APY on top of STARFALL rewards, and you may use your STRK as collateral to borrow further. 🔒

Do I need to participate for the entire period?

No, there’s no requirement to keep your STRK deposited for the full duration of the campaign. You’re free to withdraw your STRK at any time. Your rewards will be pro-rated based on the duration of your participation and the prevailing APY at that time. ⏳

What happens to STRK after the campaign?

Before the conclusion of the STARFALL Campaign, STRK will be enabled as both a collateral and borrowing asset on zkLend. Your STRK will continue to be placed as deposit within the STRK pool and will additionally earn a yield based on the pool’s utilisation. This opens up various strategies for you, whether you wish to earn a yield passively, use it as collateral to borrow other assets, leverage your positions, go short, or explore other financial manoeuvres. 🔄

Why aren’t regular lending and borrowing activated upfront for STRK tokens?

As an ecosystem token that just begins trading on both L1 and L2, we expect uncertainties and volatility around price, network stability, and oracle availability. As such, we are enabling STRK deposit and lending in slowly in order to minimise the risk and impact to users and our protocol.
