Hello Astar Community,
The Community Council is currently working on updating the guidelines and requirements for dApp Staking — specifically for projects that are part of the Astar ecosystem but deployed outside of Astar Network, such as on Soneium, Ethereum, Polkadot, or other parachains.
We’re opening up this thread to gather feedback and input from the community on how we should approach this.
Since these projects run on different chains and don’t directly contribute to Astar Network metrics (like TVL, tx volume, etc.), the conditions for them to qualify for dApp Staking will likely be different — and possibly stricter. They’ll need to demonstrate clear value to Astar or the ASTR token to be considered.
One key requirement that the Community Council is planning to include is a clear ASTR token integration — whether that’s as a payment method, in-app utility, or any other mechanism that provides real use cases or benefits for ASTR holders.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions as we work to refine these guidelines!
