STARL

The STARL cryptocurrency, also called "Starlink", is the utility token for the STARL Metaverse, a decentralized space-themed virtual environment. STARL is built on the Ethereum blockchain and powers various aspects of the metaverse, such as purchasing items and NFTs.

Following a spike in its value after a SpaceX satellite launch, the STARL token gained significant visibility, which may have been influenced by "the Musk effect," where assets named similarly to Musk’s projects attract speculative interest. This branding confusion eventually led the STARL project to clarify its focus on a metaverse ecosystem, renaming itself from "Starlink" to "STARL" to reduce the risk of misidentification with the SpaceX satellite project. The rebranding helped define its identity as a metaverse-based cryptocurrency, distancing itself from any association with Elon Musk or his projects
