Proposal for Delisting XO & InsureDAO from dApp Staking
Summary
While the Community Council is still working on setting the guidelines of dApp Staking future (listing, delisting, etc.). We already would like to proceed with delisting projects that clearly already stopped contribution to Astar.
This proposal is created to delist XO & InsureDAO from the dApp Staking system on Astar due to its lack of ongoing contribution to the ecosystem and its failure to promote or bring value to the ASTR token.
This first batch only has 2 projects included but more can be added in the next cycle.
Listing on the Astar portal:
XO: https://portal.astar.network/astar/dapp-staking/dapp?dapp=0xd2c2e0f97800a909e819beb08b43127ae217f6db
InsureDAO: https://portal.astar.network/astar/dapp-staking/dapp?dapp=0x190da1b9fa124bd872e9166ba3c7dd656a11e8f8
Background
XO was initially approved for dApp Staking on February 2024:
InsureDAO was initially approved for dApp Staking on April 2022:

- There are empty pools on their website: Underwriting Pools | InsureDAO
- Absence of ecosystem development: No evidence suggests active development or expansion that promotes the ASTR token:
- No activity in the repos: InsureDAO · GitHub
- Last post May 2023 - No mention of Astar or ASTR in their social media platforms: x.com

Rationale
XO & InsureDAO no longer meets the criteria for dApp Staking due to the following reasons:
- Minimal Ecosystem Contribution: The project has not actively driven value to the Astar ecosystem or enhanced the utility of the ASTR token.
- Stagnant Development: No new features, updates, or significant milestones have been introduced to benefit the community of ASTR holders.
- Inactive Engagement: failed to maintain active engagement or partnerships that positively impact the Astar ecosystem.
To maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the dApp Staking system, it is essential to ensure that only projects with meaningful contributions and active participation are supported.
