I am AstarHood, an anonymous advocate within our ecosystem, dedicated to promoting fairness, transparency, and value creation in the Astar Network. Inspired by the legendary Robin Hood, my mission is to ensure that our dApp Staking system remains a powerful tool for innovation and growth, reserved for projects that bring genuine value to the ASTR token and our broader community. Timezone: I cover mostly US & EU timezones
Vision and Commitment:
Enhancing dApp Staking: By initiating community-driven proposals to delist underperforming or inactive dApps, we can showcase the true potential of dApp Staking, attracting high-value projects that align with the long-term interests of ASTR token holders.
Community Empowerment: I believe that transformation must be organic and community-driven, reflecting the collective will of all stakeholders in our ecosystem.
Transparency and Fairness: I am committed to initiating discussions, presenting data-driven proposals, and advocating for fair evaluations of all dApps to build a stronger, more resilient network.
I’m also committed to support the Community Council on the topic listed in the overview thread that were not in my first scope:
Community Treasury Management
Unstoppable Community Grant (UCG) Program
Ecosystem Agent Tips
Governance Participation
Qualifications:
Active Community Engagement: I have been actively involved in the Astar Forum, contributing to discussions and initiatives that promote the network’s growth and integrity. I’m aware I haven’t been on the forum for a long time but as an anonymous voice, I can garantee that I’m very familiar with Astar for the last couple of years. You can find all my involvement on the forum by checking my profile: Profile - AstarHood - Astar Forum - Astar Governance profile: Subsquare | Astar governance platform
Strategic Alignment: My goals align with the strategic direction of the Astar Foundation, emphasizing the need to refine and elevate its unique features.
Advocacy for Excellence: I am dedicated to setting higher standards for participation in the Astar ecosystem, ensuring that only dedicated builders thrive here this include the support of ASTR in the Soneium ecosystem.
Commitment to the Community:
As a member of the Community Council, I pledge to:
Dedicate Time and Effort: Commit the necessary hours per week to Council work, including reviewing proposals, participating in discussions, and attending calls (I do prefer to be anonymous).
Engage Actively: Actively engage with the community and ecosystem stakeholders to understand and represent diverse viewpoints.
Uphold Integrity: Be transparent and ethical, in all decisions, working diligently for the community’s best interests.
I humbly seek your support to serve on the Astar Community Council, to work together in creating an ecosystem where only the best dApps—those that drive value for ASTR and empower our community—receive the spotlight they deserve.
Thank you for forming the AstarHood collective, I like that there is this kind of initiative to form a group that actively participates in governance, that is just what we need.
I am really happy to see new faces appearing with a focus and dedication like yours for Astar Network. Good luck in voting and thank you for your contribution
Even though you’re pretty new to Astar Governance, you’ve already stepped up by starting discussions and taking action using the governance tools. Your proposals, especially about delisting projects from dApp Staking, are always well-thought-out and backed with solid information. It’s a great example for others on how to turn ideas and expectations into real, on-chain actions.
Having you on the Community Council would be a huge plus to help make sure it gets off to a strong and solid start.
Best of luck with the council’s efforts! I’ve been supporting you since your initial push to streamline ASTR.
I’ve been anticipating someone in a position of power to allow ASTR have the time to evaluate the impact of the current DApps listings—whether they are beneficial or simply creating selling pressure.
As for my input, I believe it would be more advantageous to utilize our Astargov platform instead of Subsquare. Astargov is specifically designed for ASTR and represents a significant investment, given that i know a bit of background about its development.
Bit late as to this as I usually don’t make comments, but this is a refreshing take. Will be nice to get some clarity over some governance here. Good luck!
