This week's token unlock roundup covers two projects. YZY, the token issued by Kanye West, will unlock 120 million tokens with a value of roughly $35.73 million, the largest release in this batch. Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built on zk-STARKs technology, will unlock 130 million tokens worth about $3.19 million. Starknet uses STARK proofs to validate transactions and computations without requiring every network node to verify each operation, reducing computational load and boosting throughput. Its parent company StarkWare was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Israel, with Starknet and StarkEx as its main products. Detailed unlock curves for both projects are published in the images below.

This week's token unlock list is pretty brief: just two projects, YZY and Starknet.
