UPDATE:
Reward System Based on POAPs, NFTs, and Community Recognition
In response to valuable community feedback, we have completely adjusted the reward strategy for the AS - The Master Card in Web3 program. Instead of using airdrops with ASTR tokens, which could attract short-term, low-commitment users, we have designed a system focused on collectible NFTs, gamification, and rewards based on merit and real contributions.
This new approach seeks to encourage active participation, a sense of belonging, and long-term community building, aligning with the core principles of Astar Network and Soneium.
About the POAPs:
We plan to award commemorative POAPs in each episode of the show, as a way to recognize attendance and encourage digital collecting within the ecosystem.
Each POAP will be unique and themed based on the episodeâs content, allowing participants to build a collection that reflects their journey within AS â The Master Card in Web3. This approach not only motivates users to actively participate but also appeals to the emotional and symbolic value that many Web3 enthusiasts find in these items.
POAPs have established themselves as effective tools for building community loyalty, capturing important moments, and strengthening a sense of belonging within these types of initiatives.
About the NFTs:
âAS - The Master Card in Web3" NFT Collection
We have created this collection on OpenSea, which will host the minted NFTs on the Soneium Blockchain:
https://opensea.io/collection/as-la-carta-maestra-web3
These NFTs will be issued under different categories:
1. Genesis NFT â Legendary Program Card - Legendary
This NFT represents the beginning of the program and will be issued as a foundational piece. It will have special symbolic and reputational value within the community.
This NFT will be the first card in the âAS - The Master Card in Web3â collection deck.
You can view the card at the following link:

2. Outstanding Contribution NFTs - Epic
These NFTs will be issued monthly to those who contribute significant value: active participation, quality contributions, promotion of the program and/or the Astar Network and Soneium ecosystems, as well as community leadership. These NFTs will provide access to direct rewards of $15 for the two most outstanding community members of the month.
This differs from the previously mentioned airdrops, as in this case we are only awarding monthly rewards to the two participants who have made the most contributions during the month.
These NFTs will be awarded in the last Space or Stream of each month, where the work done by these two contributors will also be publicly highlighted.
How will we evaluate the most outstanding users?
In order to keep track of this and conduct an appropriate evaluation, we have created the following form:
Contribution Form:
This form must be filled out by community members who decide to contribute and opt for these NFTs. This form must be filled out for each contribution (Post, Threads, Articles, Tutorials, Videos, etc.). This way, we will keep a complete record of each of the participantsâ activities and, at the end of the month, evaluate and decide who were the two most outstanding participants of the month. Additionally, these contributors are required to be active participants in the Spaces and Streams.
3. Commemorative NFT per Episode - Rare
Each Space or weekly stream will award a unique NFT as proof of participation. These will act as âbase cardsâ for the program, encouraging attendance and collecting. This will allow participants to expand their deck as they attend and participate in each Space or Stream.
4. NFTs with Limited Edition Merch - Mythic
The most committed members who accumulate multiple cards throughout the season and excel in the participation rankings will be able to access physical merch kits.
-
These NFTs will be awarded at the end of the season, incentivizing participation.
-
These NFTs will be awarded only once per person.
The merch kit associated with these NFTs consists of the following:
- 1 T-shirt.
- 1 Thermo.
- 1 Notebook.
- 1 Mousepad.
- 1 Circular metal keychain.
For reference, the merch kit will look something like this:
The references for each item are found in the proposal.
A total of 42 NFTs will be issued this season.
However, this type of prize, while exciting for the winners to obtain exclusive physical merchandise from Astar Network and Soneium, represents a limitation, at least in the short term, for those winning participants from other countries.
In this regard, we would like to propose the following:
-
22 NFTs will be distributed locally (Peru), as this does not pose any logistical problems. These NFTs will be distributed as follows:
-
20 NFTs will be used for cross-marketing with the ecosystemâs main Web3 communities, encouraging participation among members of these communities and increasing both the reach and impact of the AS program.
-
2 NFTs will be for us, 1 for Audirmis, and 1 for me! We would love to have this merch! 
-
The remaining 20 NFTs will be for the most prominent collectors during the season, who are located in Latin American countries other than Peru. However, due to the logistical limitations involved in getting them to the winners, we propose the following options:
- Award the winners an amount in $ASTR tokens equivalent to the USD price of the merch kits associated with the NFTs, which in this case would be $25.
Now, while this option completely eliminates logistical limitations, we believe it diminishes the impact and importance of these special NFTs associated with a physical merch kit, as it would undoubtedly generate a greater impact if the winners could receive this gift physically in their homes.
However, we may opt for this option if the community agrees that it would be the most viable option.
- Award the winners of these NFTs the physical merch kits at the end of the season.
For this to be logistically feasible, we would need to collect data from all winning collectors, such as their country of origin, number of winners per country, and home address. We would also need to develop a dedicated budget for this purpose, including all expenses incurred to physically deliver these kits to the winnersâ homes.
Considering that these will be distributed at the end of the season (December 2025), once all the information is collected, we will submit a proposal to the treasury for this sole purpose if the Astar Network and Soneium communities agree to pursue this option.
For this reason, we would love to hear your valuable feedback on these options, their feasibility, and what you think would be the best option, or even if you think we could use some other option that we have omitted.
This proposal is based on this second option, but we would love your valuable feedback again and to hear your opinion on which of the two options you consider best and most viable for the project. We are open to receiving your contributions and continuing to improve to deliver activities aligned with the community vision of Astar Network and Sonieum! 
At the end of the AS - The Master Card in Web3 pilot program, participants will not only have experienced a unique journey of education and connection within the ecosystem, but will also become holders and collectors of an exclusive virtual deck of cards that reflects their path, contributions, and growth in Web3 and the ecosystems of Astar Network and Soneium. Each card will represent their learning, engagement, and creativity, turning education into an exciting and meaningful game.
This deck will hold both symbolic and collectible value, while also unlocking benefits, rewards, and recognition within the community. Together, we will have built a network of better-prepared, visible, and empowered Web3 creators and leaders across LATAM!
