What is D8A?
D8A is a non-custodial, multi-chain transaction platform built for Ethereum, Astar EVM, Astar Native, Solana and Polkadot. It is designed to make blockchain interactions accessible to everyone — sending tokens, swapping, bridging cross-chain, staking, or interacting with smart contracts — all from a single, shareable URL.
Every transaction on D8A is a link. You can share it in a chat, forum, embed it in a website, add it to an invoice, or add it to a mobile/web app. The recipient lands on a pre-filled transaction page and simply completes the transaction. No accounts, no custody, no complexity.
D8A has been building since the early days of Astar and brought a lot of users to the Astar ecosystem.
Core Features
Transaction Types
-
Send — Transfer native tokens or ERC-20s to any address or ENS name, with URL pre-fill
-
Sign — Sign any message or transaction with your wallet
-
Swap — DEX aggregator swaps across Astar EVM and Ethereum
-
Bridge — ASTR ↔ ETH bridging via Chainlink CCIP (Astar EVM ↔ Ethereum)
-
Stake — ASTR staking via Astar Native
-
Multi-step Flows — Combine transactions into a sequence to complete them all in sequence.
-
Airdrops — Create and manage on-chain airdrops with Telegram, Discord, and soon twitter
-
Multisend — Distribute tokens to hundreds of wallets in a single transaction
-
Invoices — Shareable payment request links
-
Contract Interactions — Call any EVM or Substrate pallet extrinsic via a URL, with pre-filled parameter templates for all Astar Native L1 pallets (dAppStaking, assets, balances, xcmPallet, system)
Platform Integrations
-
Telegram Bot — Wallet linking (for airdrops, notifications and more coming soon)
-
Discord Bot — Wallet linking and airdrop handling.
-
Decentraland — Our in-world kiosk at coordinates (13, -1) historically made a large marketing push for Astar with over 200,000 unique ethereum addresses visits since its launch. Which also offers wallet linking with Ethereum/Polkadot/Solana..
Why D8A Belongs in dApp Staking
D8A is a unique infrastructure product in the Astar ecosystem. No other dApp offers:
-
Shareable transaction URLs — lower the barrier for non-technical users to participate in Astar-based transactions without needing to construct them manually.
-
Cross-chain accessibility — D8A is one of the only tools that lets users bridge assets from Solana to Astar.
-
Airdrop infrastructure — The D8A airdrop platform with social verification (Telegram, Discord & Twitter) provides unique value for projects building communities on Astar who need to distribute tokens quickly to their community.
-
On-chain education — The contract interaction page with full Substrate pallet support (pre-filled templates for all native extrinsics) is a hands-on way for developers and non-developers alike to understand Astar Native L1 at a practical level. This directly supports mass adoption.
-
Metaverse presence — D8A has a sustained, organically growing presence in Decentraland. We have built many games with Astar always by our side.
Team + Costs
The whole of the project is run by one guy and one server. I have been involved with Astar since the start and participated in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Lockdrop.
Roadmap
-
Public testing of airdrops — I currently have a few groups testing the airdrop features live.. (One of the feedbacks has been to increase the amount of compatible wallets.)
-
Improve custom airdrop contracts — Smarter on-chain distribution with different methods.
-
Twitter launch campaign — Run a viral campaign with the airdrop mechanics
-
Host more Decentraland events — expand in-world presence, daily card game competitions
-
Prediction bot as a product — launch as a subscription or token-gated tool
-
Upgrading Substrate support — Astar is always evolving and we have kept up with the pace of development. (Even before AI.
)
Previous dApp Staking History
D8A was previously listed in dApp staking and was delisted following the UCG and dApp staking rule updates. We support the cleanup and reduction of inactive dApps but believe D8A should be relisted because:
-
We are actively developing and helping astar increase its community by making it easier to access its ecosystem
-
We are uniquely positioned — no other dApp provides this breadth of transaction tooling for Astar users.
-
We have demonstrated what can be achieved during our UCG campaign.
-
We are committed to continuous improvement and expanding our toolset to meet the evolving needs of the Astar community
-
We have a proven track record of delivering value to the Astar community.
-
Dapp staking verification increases the credibility of the product.
Summary
D8A is infrastructure. It makes Astar usable for everyone — from crypto-native developers calling pallet extrinsics, to newcomers sending their first transaction from a shared link. I have been here for years actively shipping, and growing the astar ecosystem from behind the scenes. I ask for your support to continue building the best transaction toolkit on Astar.
