If you’ve been following the Argent Xplorer NFT campaign, then there’s good news for you! You can now claim the first NFTs here.
For context, the Argent Xplorer Campaign began a few weeks ago, looking to distribute 8 NFTs across 8 weeks to active Argent X users on Starknet. If you’re still yet to join the campaign, download and fund your Argent wallet here to get started.
Goodbye “Quaireaux”, hello “Alexandria”
Following the results of a community poll, the community standard library for Cairo 1.0 has been renamed from “Quaireax” to “Alexandria”.
This was a result of the former name, “Quaireaux”, being a tad too difficult to pronounce for non-french speakers. Do check out the new logo, and contributions to make Alexandria better are equally welcome!
Starkfighter game comes to an end
After garnering over 400k players, and over a million played sessions, the popular Starknet game, Starkfighter has been brought to an end.
The game which started as a fun initiative to onboard new users to Starknet, proved to be a large success as we saw a large number of new users compete for different prize rewards from Everai, Argent, and Briq.
