Startale Group is a Japanese onchain infrastructure company behind the Startale App, a single app that bundles a smart wallet, token swaps, an Earn Vault, Mini Apps, and a Mission Center for the Soneium network and Ethereum. The app tracks user activity through STAR Points, and Startale has confirmed those points will factor into eligibility for a future airdrop, though no token has launched yet.
Status: Active (Points Program)
Chain: Soneium
Eligibility: STAR Points earned through app activity on the Startale App
Points System: STAR Points, tracked in-app only, not redeemable or exchangeable for money
On the funding side, Startale has raised roughly $70 million total, including a $63 million Series A that closed in March 2026, with $50 million from SBI Group following a $13 million round from Sony Innovation Fund in January. Samsung Next and UOB Venture Management backed earlier rounds. That kind of capital does not guarantee a token launch, but it is the size that typically funds a project through one.
Am I Eligible?
Eligibility runs entirely through STAR Points, earned across several channels at once. Daily check-ins pay 10 points for every 10 check-ins, so the value builds through a streak. Monthly mission campaigns reset each month and pay 100 to 150 points. Liquidity earns 0.0025 points per dollar per day, with a $10 minimum. Mini App campaigns run their own point pools, and referrals pay 10% of what invited users earn, capped at 200 points monthly.
The newest addition is Summer Fiesta, a batch of Mini App campaigns worth up to 170 STAR Points each. It started August 13, 2026, and runs through September.
How to Earn STAR Points, Step by Step
- Set Up Your Startale App Account. Go to the Startale App sign-up page and register using an email address or a social login.
- Add Funds to Your Wallet on Soneium. You need a small amount of $ETH on Soneium to cover gas and swaps, plus a stablecoin balance for missions. You can buy $ETH on Bitget and withdraw it to your smart wallet address, or bridge funds over from another chain using the app’s bridge widget.
- Check In Daily. Tap the GM button once each day. Every 10 check-ins, you earn 10 STAR Points, so consistency matters more than any single tap.
- Work Through the Monthly Mission Campaign. Complete August’s four tasks in the Mission Center: buy $5 of $USDC, swap $10 of $ETH into $USDC, deposit $10 into the Earn Vault for 7 days, and hold $10 of liquidity for 7 days. Points land within 72 hours.
- Deposit Into the Earn Vault. From the Earn tab, deposit $USDC into the Earn Vault. It pays yield on your balance, and holding $USDC there is tracked between mission cycles.
- Provide Liquidity Through USDSC. Add funds to the USDSC liquidity pool. Points start at 0.0025 per dollar per day, and a duration multiplier climbs from 1x in the first 30 days to 2x after 151 days, applying automatically to existing positions. A $1,000 position earns 2.5 points daily at 1x and 5 points at 2x.
- Join Summer Fiesta Mini App Campaigns. Head to the Mini Apps hub. Supercash pays up to 170 points for QR stablecoin spending, Intravese games pay 100 points for five rounds each of Penalty Game and Space Runners, and Friends, LasMeta, and the Cool Cats claw machine pay up to 70, 70, and 50.
- Refer Friends. Share your referral link from the invite section. You collect 10% of what your referred users earn, capped at 200 points monthly.
Risks to Consider
Every reward program built around unconfirmed points carries the same open questions. Here’s what to weigh before you invest time in this one.
A. STAR Points Have No Cash Value
STAR Points carry no cash value and cannot be transferred or sold, so there is no secondary market to fall back on if plans change.
B. Liquidity Positions Carry DeFi Risk
Liquidity positions in the USDSC pool also carry the usual DeFi risks, including smart contract risk and impermanent loss, separate from any points earned on top.
C. Wallet Security Still Matters
Wallet security matters just as much here as anywhere else. Only connect your wallet through the official Startale App, double-check URLs before approving any transaction, and never share a seed phrase with anyone claiming to help with points or eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still working out the details? These are the questions that come up most with new users.
Can I sell or exchange STAR Points?
No. STAR Points exist only inside the Startale App and cannot be redeemed for cash or exchanged with Startale for any other asset.
What is the fastest way to earn STAR Points right now?
The Summer Fiesta Mini App campaigns, running from August 13 through September 2026, offer some of the highest single-task point values currently available, with Supercash alone paying up to 170 points.
Do I need to hold a large balance to earn meaningful points?
No. Liquidity earns 0.0025 points per dollar per day with just a $10 minimum, though larger positions held longer benefit from the duration multiplier that climbs to 2x after 151 days.
Is there a deadline to start earning points?
No fixed deadline has been announced. Points accrue on an ongoing basis, though individual mission campaigns like Summer Fiesta do have their own start and end windows.
