Gm! Thank you for supporting DeStore. We want to announce Josiah and I are running for Polkadot Head Ambassadors. Combining our skills, we can better advocate for Polkadot and partners like Astar. Your support means the world! Feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are always open!
Giving us your votes and leaving us comments helps us the most! Thank You!

GM friends and family, I wanted to reach out as I am running for Head Ambassador. Josiah and I initially applied under Polkadot proposal #1015. However, with the community feedback, we decided I would pursue the Head Ambassador role while Josiah independently applied for a Senior role later. I would appreciate any votes or comments to help support me on my journey. Your voice matters. Thank you!

As expected 
I think the Head Ambassador is cool!
By the way, do you have any plans or thoughts on what kind of activities you will be doing as a Head Ambassador in the future? I would be happy if you could tell me specifically because I want to refer to it for my future activities!
Are those the main contents being proposed? [Head Ambassador Proposal: Dustin Lee | Polkassembly]

I aim to highlight projects Polkadot’s core may have overlooked, such as Astar and those utilizing the substrate framework. With my industry insight and fresh perspective, I can help expand Polkadot’s reach. As my proposal outlines, I’ll advocate for Polkadot while supporting Astar, benefiting both DeStore and Astar. This effort will foster broader conversations and collaborations, integrating Polkadot with other ecosystems.

Any concrete ideas already what you want to achieve as an Polkadot Head Ambassador?

Once I have a solid foundation, I’ll be creating some KPIs. My main focus will be educating everyone about what’s happening outside the core Polkadot ecosystem. While Polkadot focuses on the protocol, projects like Astar are emphasizing adoption.
My aim is to showcase the innovative work being done in other ecosystems, learn from their experiences, and leverage our tools. Many ecosystems use innovative ideas without acknowledging their sources, and they’re not very transparent about what others do. We need ecosystem agents to advocate in other spaces like I’ve been doing in Polygon spaces, building relationships and gradually educating them about our efforts.
Rather than force-feeding information, which is often Polkadot’s approach, we should adopt a more community-centric method. The broader ecosystems value community more than ever.
Congratulations and success. I’m happy for you.
I am curious, how do you think this good news will benefit the Astar Ecosystem?
How will you contribute to Astar in the future with the head ambassador position you have obtained? (Even though this position does not have such an obligation, I would like to hear if you are sharing this with us and if there is something you can do.)
I can balance my role, as tasks will be delegated if this proposal passes. Even if I don’t get the position, being part of the conversation reflects my long-term advocacy for the ecosystem. As someone deeply involved with both ecosystems, I play a key role in merging our collaborations, especially since I have strong ties with Polygon. This helps us stay in the conversation and benefits the Astar ecosystem by educating the Polkadot community about Astar. With Astar’s shift towards zK, there has been some uncertainty. My connections across these ecosystems allow me to communicate the value Astar offers. It’s a win-win for everyone, and I want Astar to be a prominent part of the conversation within Polkadot.

It’s done.
Continue to see a bridge between Polkadot and us.
I wish you all the best, good luck.

Hello Astar Community,
As you may be aware, a discussion was raised on the Astar Forum by @pitcoin777 regarding DeStore Network deserving to be in dApp Staking. We have written our response, which can be found here for all who are interested. Additionally, please see our feedback on this open letter to the Astar Network Community which provides a detailed overview of our milestones the past 2 terms.
Regards Josiah
