The new system (capped at 16 projects, governance approval, Tier 2 and Tier 3) aims to concentrate rewards on projects with measurable contribution and continuous activity.LuckyDapp does not appear to meet these criteria.2/ Lack of activity on social media before selection
From the promotional thread in September 2025 until the start of Period 007 (March 19, 2026), more than 6 months passed with little to no visible activity on official channels.
The entry requirement includes at least 6 months of continuous operation with documented on-chain activity. How does this long period of public silence align with that?3/ Limited value generation
LuckyDapp is a no-loss lottery that only incentivizes passive staking: 1 ASTR staked = 1 ticket for the daily lottery.
It does not generate significant on-chain transactions, DeFi volume, or real utility beyond locking ASTR.
Its contribution is limited to maintaining passive TVL without driving active network adoption.4/ Lottery prizes
From recent eras (1307–1322): the daily prize is approximately 63 ASTR (sometimes lower, e.g. 51 ASTR).
One era = ~24 hours (7200 blocks).
This means ~63 ASTR per day distributed to winners.5/ Allocation of developer rewards
According to LuckyDapp’s original proposal (2023, still in effect): 20% of developer rewards goes to the lottery prize pool
80% remains with the project for “development and costs”
With a highly automated product (smart contracts on Astar + Phala worker), the community has the right to understand which operational costs justify the 80%.6/ Requirements of the new dApp Staking revamp (March 2026) Cap at 16 dApps total (6 in Tier 2, 10 in Tier 3)
Staking threshold for Tier 3: ~30 million ASTR
Tier 2: ~80 million ASTR
Governance approval + periodic review by the Astar Community Council for continued activity and engagement
Focus on quantifiable ecosystem contribution
LuckyDapp is in Period 007, but the public data (low prizes + long social silence) raise doubts about full compliance with these standards.7/ Direct questions to @AstarNetwork
, @AstarFoundation
and the Astar Community Council: What specific metrics (beyond staked TVL) did LuckyDapp meet to be selected among the 16?
Was an updated proposal submitted on the Astar forum before selection?
Does the system truly reward projects that create active value, or also those that only incentivize passive staking?
The community deserves transparency: rewards diluted across 16 slots should go to projects that concretely contribute t
o the ecosystem.
