dApp Staking v3 has made significant adjustment towards how dApp Staking is structured today where we made an adjustable framework to improve based on market conditions. This is what Astar Foundation is now proposing.
I would recommend to check and understand the whole evaluation that has been done last year and why those improvement has been made. This whole process has been transparently shared with community and feedback given implemented in it’s system.
If you would further look in previous discussions, Astar Collective has the responsibility to change the direction. Astar Foundation is only one stakeholder in this Collective and we are proposing the direction Shun shared. Other stakeholders get full support of Astar Foundation to further improve current dApp Staking and we have a treasury to support those initiatives but it’s also up to them to proposal and work on it. If all hopes are only put in Astar Foundation hands, we will take this responsibility and move things forward, so any constructive reassesment of our approach is highly appreciated.
Any other group that feel better business can be conducted, we are open to support and put the brains together.
