> [@TAKUMAYU](#): > > If, in fact, no structured evaluation has been conducted over the past three years regarding how dApp Staking has contributed to or impacted the Astar ecosystem as a whole, then it is all the more reason why a holistic assessment should be carried out before making any surface-level adjustments. As you can see in the initial thread a structured evaluation has been happening across 2023 and 2024, you can see the timeline here: - [2022-11] - Start of the concept building of v3 - [2023-01] - Share design sketch with Astar community: [dApps Staking v3 - proposal](https://forum.astar.network/t/dapps-staking-v3-proposal/4206) - [2023-04] - Implement v3 in a complete revamp of our tokenomics: [Reconsidering Astar’s Token Economics](https://forum.astar.network/t/reconsidering-astars-token-economics/4549/) - [2023-04] - Added tokenomics specialists to our project, including budget allocation. We partnered with [MVP Workshop](https://mvpworkshop.co/). - [2023-08] - Showcase the complete research & design that has been done around Astar new tokenomics 2.0: [Astar Tokenomics 2.0: A Dynamically Adjusted Inflation](https://forum.astar.network/t/astar-tokenomics-2-0-a-dynamically-adjusted-inflation/4924) including a complete benchmark report ([here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I24CFAdGdylM7IfmPRH7_TmqbN0USSFE/view)) - [2023-09] - Technical Implementation started - [2023-12] - Deployment on testnet, including audit start - [2024-01] - Audit completed by SRLabs ([report](https://github.com/AstarNetwork/Audits/blob/main/reports/2024-01%20Astar%20dApp%20Staking%20v3%20-%20SR%20Labs.pdf)) - [2024-02] - Set parameters and deploy on Astar & Shiden - Documentation - [Tokenomics 2.0 | Welcome to Astar](https://docs.astar.network/docs/learn/tokenomics2/) - [dApp Staking v3 Technical Overview | Welcome to Astar](https://docs.astar.network/docs/learn/dapp-staking/dapp-staking-protocol) 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. > [@TAKUMAYU](#): > > Conversely, if we proceed without such evaluation, there is a real risk that we may need to revisit the same parameter changes again in the future 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.astar.network/t/dapp-staking-astar-foundation-proposal-next-steps/7950)._
