DeStore Network deserves to be in dApp Staking?

As the voting period approaches, I have been talking with other ambassadors and community members, and there is a blurry cloud surrounding the development of DeStore very little information has been provided about what has actually been done, and I would like to know what deliverables have been completed up to this point.

1) Lack of concrete information:

There seems to be a “cloud” over the project, with few details provided in public channels and on social media. Despite the visual presence of logos and general discussions about Web3, there is a lack of communication regarding concrete deliverables. A valid point would be the absence of publicly shared use cases to build greater confidence in the proposal.

DeStore Proposal:
Our Build2Earn proposal aims to attract 100 million $ASTR through DApp staking, collaborating with e LogiT to establish DeStore in Japan. DeAR, our user-friendly wallet with built in Sony AR features, simplifies Web3 entry for “no coiners” by offering Digital Twin Claim Cards (DTCCs).*

The proposal targets Astar’s ecosystem expansion, empowering stakeholders and facilitating entry for web3-curious enterprises, potentially impacting Japan’s $210 billion e commerce.*

Stakers with 25,000 $ASTR or more can gain access to our special channels in our Discord and eligibility for DeStore’s private funding round. Community benefits include airdrops and ¥100 worth of $ASTR for DeAR downloads, converting “non-coiners” into stakeholders. Funding allocation splits between development costs and onboarding a Japanese team.*

DeAR addresses the complexity of Web3 entry for newcomers, promoting Astar’s growth. The roadmap includes live trials, DTCC issuance, and collaborations with Astar and Sony.*

2) Critical questions:

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?

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.

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.

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.

All of the questions were formulated based on the team’s promises when applying for the dApp staking program, and what is currently being developed is still not well known by the community. Please, team, clarify the topics that are raising doubts. Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this up I’ve been discussing the same concerns with other Astar community members, and I fully agree that we need clearer visibility on DeStore’s actual progress.

From what I’ve seen, the proposal itself is ambitious and well positioned (especially the Sony AR + DTCC angle), but the gap right now is not about the vision it’s about verification.

To keep the community aligned and confident, it would help a lot if the team could clarify a few points:

Concrete Deliverables

So far, most communication has focused on branding, partnerships, and future plans.

Could the team specify which deliverables from the proposal have already been completed?

(e.g., wallet modules, AR integrations, first DTCC tests)

Japanese Team Onboarding

One of the proposal’s strongest claims was onboarding Japanese teams through DeAR.

How many teams/clients are currently onboarded, and what are they using the product for?

Private Funding Round Eligibility

You mentioned that stakers with 25,000+ ASTR will get access to the private round.

How many users are eligible so far?

And is there a timeline for when the private round is expected to begin?

Collaborations with Astar & Sony

Since these names carry huge weight, the community would love to understand:

– What parts of the proposal have actually been coordinated with Astar/Sony?

– Were any pilot tests, demos, or joint evaluations done?

DTCC Output and Metrics

DTCCs are a core part of the proposal.

How many have been issued to date, and what has user engagement looked like?

I’m personally very supportive of projects that help onboard “no coiners” into Web3, especially within Japan but for the sake of transparency during the voting period, it would be great if the team could provide a clear status update.

Looking forward to hearing from DeStore and seeing the progress more concretely.
