Following the resignation news, the NSTR token plunged nearly 6%. At the time of writing, it is trading at $0.093, having declined from $0.21 to its current value.&nbsp; 
The firm released the NSTR token on June 17th. During the launch, the token’s entire supply was fully unlocked. The company announced the token on June 4th, intending to reward early adopters via an airdrop.

<a href="https://nostra.finance/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nostra</a> issued 100 million NSTR tokens. The firm allocated 11% of the tokens for community airdrops, preserved 14% for future airdrops, and 25% for the treasury. Investors and the Nostra team got 26.2% and 23.8% of the total allocation, respectively. The company announced that the NSTR tokens did not have a vesting period.&nbsp;

Garai’s resignation raised concerns as X users wondered why the CEO wanted to take a break just after launching the token. In his response, Garai said he had not sold any tokens, and that the claims surrounding his resignation were complete nonsense. 
<blockquote>
 &nbsp;“To those who are trying to make a connection between the unlocked launch and my resignation: this is complete bullshit. I have not sold a single token and do not plan on doing so.”

</blockquote> 
Garai took pride in his team’s achievements. According to Garai, they managed to establish Nostra as the most profitable protocol. The former CEO also applauded his team for making Nostra the largest protocol on Starknet.

The former boss noted that the company intends to expand its product suite. Garai also stated that the firm would venture into STRK liquid staking. The ex-CEO assured everyone that the company would also launch Nostra Earn in the future. Garai expressed his confidence in the new CEO, assuring stakeholders that the firm will achieve its set goals.
