STRK price
$0.0283
One token. Three engines.
Privacy, quantum resistance, and Bitcoin all run on Starknet. STRK is the asset that secures the network and captures the demand the thesis creates.
STRK is where that demand lands
STRK is the native asset powering Starknet. It pays for execution (both gas and privacy fees), secures the network through staking, governs the protocol, and serves as the base collateral across its DeFi. Every part of the thesis playing out, more private flows, a quantum-safe chain, more Bitcoin, routes that activity back to one token.
Every transaction on Starknet is paid in STRK. Beyond standard gas, each private transaction also carries a protocol privacy fee: a target of about $0.12 per action, settled in STRK, with the STRK amount adjusted by the protocol as the price moves.
Staking STRK is the core of Starknet's decentralization, carrying 75% of all staking power. Bitcoin staking was added on top to tie STRK and BTC value in a flywheel: BTC stakers take a fixed 25% share of staking rewards, so the more STRK is staked, the higher their rewards and APR, pulling even more Bitcoin into consensus. All of it runs on less than 1% annual STRK inflation.
Governance is powered by STRK, and only staked or delegated STRK carries a vote. Stakers and delegators set the direction of the protocol, from upgrades to economic parameters and everything in between. It is already live, with 10 votes held to date.
Across Starknet DeFi, STRK is a core collateral asset. From lending and trading to leverage, liquid staking, and stablecoins, the native token plugs into every major venue, put to work instead of sitting idle.
Each narrative is a multi-billion-dollar market on its own. Starknet is the only chain that sits in all three at once, and STRK is the claim on that intersection.
