Hi @pitcoin777 **Please see our feedback on this [open letter to Astar Network Community](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CP6du9vikrc028PWB-gvy9Rb1nIGjpeT/view?usp=sharing).** Answering the critical questions in your post. > [@pitcoin777](#): > > **Users eligible for DeStore’s private funding round** : > How many users are already eligible, and what is the expected timeline for this private funding round? This point is crucial to demonstrate public engagement with the project. [DeStore] As highlighted in our open letter to Astar Network Community, we are working with three Japanese teams (introduced by e-LogiT) as part of a Pilot group. We are working with three Japanese companies as a Pilot group integrating Laava Smart Fingerprints in their manufacturing and warehouse processes, and leveraging our DeAR wallet to unlock the digital experiences. NDA doesn’t allow us to provide further information at this stage. > [@pitcoin777](#): > > **Onboarding of Japanese teams through the wallet** : > How many Japanese teams have actually been onboarded using the DeAR wallet? If the project is collaborating with e-LogiT and Sony, how has this translated into local team adoption in practice? [DeStore] All the information regarding our private funding round pre-TGE will be shared in our Discord server asap. Please join our Discord if you would like to participate. > [@pitcoin777](#): > > **Collaborations with Astar and Sony** : > What concrete collaborations have been carried out with these two major entities? Beyond the theoretical proposal, the community is eager to see tangible results from these partnerships. [DeStore] We are in constant communication with Astar Network Team, in a private Telegram group, discussing opportunities to collaborate and use our phygital solution. Our latest proposal was to mint bullion gold, silver and bronze coins (similar to the 1oz Silver Phygital Twin DogeCoin minted as part of a Proof of Concept and sent to 10 KOLs, including Sota. > [@pitcoin777](#): > > **Outputs of DTCCs (Digital Twin Claim Cards)**: > How many DTCCs have been issued, and what has the engagement been like so far? This is a direct indicator of product adoption. [DeStore] We have issued 100’s of DTCC as part of a Pilot group and campaigns for our customers. The product has been well received with a lot of excitement from potential customers and investors (see feedback provided by [@JCryptoRider](https://x.com/JCryptoRider)). As a final note, we have been part of the Astar Network community for a long time and representing Astar in multiple onsite and online events (as highlighted on our [open letter to Astar Network Community](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CP6du9vikrc028PWB-gvy9Rb1nIGjpeT/view?usp=sharing)). It is disappointing that the first time that we receive any interest from Astar Official Ambassadors is in a post seeking delisting DeStore from Astar B2E Program.
