</div>

As explained here, I’m voting **NO** on this proposal because I don’t think Astar Unofficial is eligible for dApp Staking or deserves to join this program.

It’s an interesting initiative but I agree with @Gaius_sama , dApps Staking is not the way to get the desired funding, keep up the good work guys you can really appreciate your effort to improve the Astar community!

I’m voting NO, because dApp staking will not be the best route to getting the funding needed to build this TG community.

I hope to see this proposal pushed for funding from the Community Treasury, where I would be supportive of funding community initiatives like this. They are important!

Thanks.

I will agree with Gaius, that is, it’s not the original intended purpose of dapp staking.  
However we have to acknowledge that these kinds of initiatives are important to our developments so I hope you find the correct path to get support.

It seems a lot of the moderators are already having their dApp listed on Astar, like Neurolanche, DeStore, etc. I think they all have the Telegram group, and Astar also had their official social media, the AI bot on Astar Discord had been running for a while, I am not quite convinced with this new one, of course, I hope to hear the voice from the 12 amazing moderators, maybe I miss something in this proposal.

I notice a lot of NO votes…  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/plasmnet/original/2X/4/4e63b042816211493bdf8557b3bc19f98bb9b38b.png)

But only 1 person actually clicked on the dapp I created and I think that might of been me. 😅…

@Gaius_sama only mentioned the Astar Unofficial as if it was just a telegram community and didn’t address the 2 dapps that were created.  
So please everyone do the research before voting no.

I 100% agree with @Gaius_sama. Voted No.

Hey thanks for your proposal. However, i voted no to this proposal because the project doesn’t deserved to be listed on the dApp store. Thank you.

My opinion is as I wrote the other day.

> Thank you for the proposal. As an old time Astar supporting OG, I respect you. As for this proposal, it seems difficult to judge whether to adopt it as dApp Staking. Since it is more like a public good, it may be better to consider it as a separate category. Personally, the already proposed sub-treasury of on-chain governance seems most appropriate. However, we do not currently have this system. Therefore, it seems suitable to have the actual BOT created and run on Telegram and retroactivel…

And while I certainly appreciate that you are making apps in Decentraland, this in itself is more for the Polkadot ecosystem as a whole than for Astar. And this effect is difficult to quantify and therefore cannot be evaluated.

And this time it is separate from Decentraland as we are requesting funds for the AI BOT.

As for the cost of AI BOT, as I wrote before, it is appropriate to request grants as appropriate. dApp Staking is not appropriate.

Here is an example.

Greetings friends, you are what can be called ‘OG’ in Astar and I am deciding to support you.

You will develop a bot that each ambassador can integrate into their community for free. With a little language support.

For the costs incurred in this process and for your individual motivation, you need to generate income through dApp Staking.

I believe this is exactly the nature of dApp Staking.

It is not unreasonable to think of selling this service/developed app to other polkadot groups as a paid service, but the integration into the official ambassador country groups I mentioned above should be completely free of charge.

Previously, I wrote positive feedback. After reading and considering other people’s opinions, I voted “No.”

I continue to appreciate your contributions to the Astar Network. I believe you can select other options that will receive the grant to create the AI bot.

I’m not offended by the NOs and appreciate the OGs 🥰  
I have done a lot for astar but mainly behind closed doors. 🥸  
I realise that I should separate the telegram community from the dapp.  
I will return soon 👀

I may notice my same thought in many other comments , I simply don’t think this is the proper usage of the dApp staking functionality. Even if I really like these types of initiatives i have voted NO

Would be great so see achievements, updates here in this forum thread to keep it more transparent. Then maybe the next vote will look better! 🙂
