And it's showing one thing clearly: anyone can now build pretty much any private app they have in mind, with the tools and support they need.

Here's a sample of the projects being built on top of STRK20s"

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a crypto wallet portfolio displaying a holding of 1,053,729.3728901 STRK (Starknet Token) tokens, with an average cost basis of approximately $23,864.25 and a current unit price of roughly $0.02264. This illustrates the dramatic loss referenced in the accompanying post, where an investor who paid around $2.50 per STRK to accumulate over a million tokens (~$2.5 million investment) now sees their portfolio valued at less than $24,000, highlighting the severe depreciation of the Starknet token.  

> 
> "$STRK was bought at a price of 2.5$ for 1,053,000 units in exchange for 2,500,000 dollars; Starknet is now worth 23,800$. That's the joke.

> "$STRK hit a new ATL today. The investor who bought $10,000 worth at the highest price now has just $75 left today.
