It’s been just one month since we launched Aradia.app, and what a journey it has been!
We want to start this update by saying thank you — to our community, our partners, and especially to Astar Network for their incredible support. The first month has been full of learning, building, testing, and connecting with amazing people who believe in what we’re creating: the best launchpad experience across Astar and beyond.
Officially Accepted into Astar’s UGC Program & dApp Staking 
We’re proud to announce that the Astar Council has officially accepted our proposal to join the UGC Program and dApp Staking on Astar Network!
This is a huge milestone for us — one that will allow us to accelerate Aradia’s development and empower our community with staking rewards. With over 21 million $ASTR in staking support, we’re one step closer to making Aradia a reality.
Thank you to the entire Astar team and community for believing in us and helping us grow.
First Official Aradia Mint 
Our first major public milestone came with the official Aradia mint on the Shibuya testnet, featuring the “Aradia & הֵילֵל” collection.
The response? Absolutely incredible.
We had 230+ NFTs minted and +100 unique holders — an amazing turnout for a testnet release!
CONTRACT 
This test helped us identify bugs, optimize the minting experience, and gather invaluable feedback from our community.
To everyone who participated, tested, and shared feedback — thank you! Your support helps shape Aradia every single day.
Telegram Bot Launch your Gateway to Testnet $SBY Tokens 
To make testing easier for everyone in the Astar ecosystem, we launched our official Telegram bot, which automatically distributes Shibuya testnet $SBY tokens.
Users can now claim test tokens every 24 hours — quickly, safely, and with just a few clicks.
This bot has rapidly become the go-to gateway for Astar users to access $SBY testnet tokens.
Simple. Fast. Accessible — just how Web3 should be.

Partnerships: Building the Future Together 
Aradia is all about collaboration, and we’re excited to share some of the amazing partnerships we’ve established this month:
-
SubWallet: We’ve partnered with SubWallet to offer seamless access to Aradia through their dApp browser — available on both mobile and desktop. You can now find and interact with Aradia directly from within SubWallet.
-
DotJobs: Together, we’re designing the Aradia Ambassador Program, an initiative to reward community builders and creators. Stay tuned — this one’s going to be big.
-
ChessOnChain (Alpha): We’re currently in active talks with the team to integrate their entire game and NFTs into Astar Network via Aradia. This could bring an exciting on-chain gaming experience to the ecosystem.
And that’s not all — we’re also collaborating with DJs, artists, and RWA (Real World Asset) projects who are preparing to deploy their experiences and assets on Aradia once we go live on Astar mainnet.
Community Growth & Events: From Zero to a Thousand 
Our community has been growing at an incredible pace!
We recently opened our official Discord server with daily discussions, feedback, and amazing community-driven content.
We’ve also been out in the real world, connecting with Web3 enthusiasts at:
-
Valencia Digital Summit
-
Polkadot x ITEMZ ETH Mexico Side Event
-
Sub0 Symbiosis
At these events, attendees got the chance to test Aradia live, mint NFTs, and share their insights. Seeing people interact with what we’re building was truly inspiring.
New Features: Profiles, Token Creation & More 
We’ve released several exciting new features on the Shibuya testnet:
-
Aradia Profiles: A new profile page that displays your tokens and NFTs on Shibuya and this week on Astar mainnet
-
Token Creation Tool: You can now create your own tokens on Shibuya testnet with customizable parameters. Tokens are instantly deployed and visible on Subscan.

A Final Word 
From the Aradia team, we want to say thank you again to everyone who has supported us through this first month — our community, partners, testers, and the Astar ecosystem.
We’re thrilled by the momentum, the feedback, and the love we’ve received.
This is just the start of something truly special.
Let’s keep building — together.
Onwards to Month Two!
