Hello @leo, Astar Network Community, Ambassadors, and Core Team,
I’m Seiya Chida, responsible for the SCI (Starlay Chain Initiative) and a service provider for Starlay Finance. Due to my focus on development and governance within Starlay, I haven’t been as active in the Astar forum as I would have liked. However, I’m committing to more active participation going forward.
Your post, @leo, is truly amazing.
One issue I’ve noticed is a lack of communication about Starlay’s progress to Astar’s community members, leading to subjective criticism against the project that isn’t based on reality. This clearly violates our community rules and guidelines.
To prevent such misunderstanding, I propose implementing a monthly update system for protocols which accept dapp staking within the Astar forum, similar to what is seen in protocols with advanced decentralized governance like Aave. On their delegate platform (Delegate Platforms - Aave), contributors show how they have aided in the protocol’s governance, and voters delegate their votes accordingly. Translating this to Astar’s dApp staking, this would mean a monthly showcase on the dApp staking platform, where protocols demonstrate their activities, influencing where votes are cast. Of course, it’s necessary to verify achievements such as TVL and to check actual work through resources like GitBook. For users, the dApp staking platform can serve as an indicator of what each project is accomplishing.
I agree with your proposition for more transparent management in the dApp staking program. The ASTR token belongs to the community. Projects should be obliged to publish their monthly developments in the forum, show their expenditure, actively use social media to add value, and maintain transparency.
Best Regards,
Seiya Chida
