Starknet Halts Quantum Leap NFT Campaign Due To Network Issues

  • Starknet Ecosystem made its NFT mint live on August 30, for just 24 hours.
  • The firm soon halted the mint due to “enormous demand” that was beyond their expectations.
  • Crypto Twitter questioned if Starknet is the future of scaling if one mint caused a crash.

Earlier today Starknet Ecosystem announced that users can now mint their Quantum Leap NFT for the next 24 hours, till August 31, 5 AM UTC. In the Twitter thread, the team noted that one account can mint once only. Simultaneously, cautioning users to triple-check the link to avoid scams.

However, Starknet soon halted the drop after experiencing an “enormous demand,” that the team was not prepared for. The heavy load resulted in a bad user experience due to an undiscovered issue in the network. The team addressed the pause on Twitter and quoted,

we have made the difficult decision of temporarily halting the remainder of the drop. We hope we’ll be able to resume the drop within a few days. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Users on the thread advised the Starknet team to keep a 48-hour to 72-hour window to let users mint without congesting the network. Meanwhile, Twitter user Cyclop remarked that the halt proved that the network is “still very much in its infancy,” suggesting that the launch will be postponed indefinitely. Moreover, Cyclop shared that the Starknet website was tracking users’ IP addresses.

Another Twitter user questioned Starknet Ecosystem’s mission of delivering secure scaling technology. “Do you really think Starknet  is the future of scaling?” asked the user, “if a single NFT mint crashes the network in the fifth year of its development.”

In July, the crypto data analytics platform Messari published a report that layer-2 (L2) blockchains including Starknet Polygon, arbitrum, and zkSync, built on Ethereum, can generate revenue by functioning as a development layer for L3.

Image
The Shiba Inu network is setting its sights on a significant milestone in the world of crypto currencies: the eradication of a decimal point. In crypto lingo, “eliminating a zero” is the term used when a coin’s price increases tenfold, effectively shifting its decimal point to the right. While this journey may be lengthy, it is by no means unattainable, and the SHIB community is abuzz with anticipation. With Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) current price standing at $0.00000793, the community is optimistic about SHIB’s prospects for destroying another zero from its price point.

While some may find this worrisome, others interpret it as a positive signal. Reduced tra...
