Thank you for sharing the details!
It would be a waste to leave the Community Treasury unused, so I think supporting dApps under clear guidelines like this is a very good approach.
You did not mention this in your post, but in Juminstock’s post, this seemed to be framed as inheriting the context of UCG.
It is true that in terms of nature, there are similarities to UCG, but this feels more fluid and more like autonomous support by the ACC. Would it be correct to understand that UCG has effectively been integrated into the ACC’s new “Strategic Staking Program”?
Lane A seems to be intended to provide support so that projects do not fall below the Tier threshold (uplift), while Lane B seems intended to provide support to increase rewards for specific projects (boosting). In either case, a certain level of contribution to Astar is required, so this appears different from the previous UCG-style support for early-stage projects.
