Starknet, a rapidly rising name in the ETH L2 space, is now offering unprecedented opportunities to its community members through its newly launched Early Community Member Program (ECMP). This program is not just about technical contributions — it’s about recognizing every individual who has helped advance the Starknet ecosystem.

As a staunch Starknet supporter, I believe this is a unique opportunity for community members — whether developers, content creators, event organizers, or active participants in technical discussions — to be recognized and rewarded.

Application Process and Timeline

Applications open on October 30, 2023 and close on November 23. The review committee will make its decisions by December 29. Interested individuals and projects should submit their applications within this period.

Who Can Apply?

The ECMP is open to individuals who have actively contributed to the Starknet ecosystem. Whether through technical discussions, organizing events, publishing branded content, or any other means of adding vitality and resources to the ecosystem — all such individuals should consider applying.

Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation criteria include impact, significance, effort, and originality. This means it’s not just about lines of code — it also encompasses your impact on the community, the importance of your work to the project, the effort you’ve put in, and the originality of your contributions.

Application Process

Both projects and individuals need to submit applications through the provided link, including their Telegram ID, email address, and Starknet wallet address. Each project and individual will be evaluated by the committee.

Important Notes

It is important to note that sanctioned individuals, residents of sanctioned countries, and US-affiliated persons are not eligible to participate.

This program marks a significant step in the growth and development of the Starknet community. It not only rewards the unsung heroes but also encourages more people to join and contribute to the ecosystem. If you are a dedicated Starknet supporter, don’t miss this opportunity.
