Introducing the Astar Community Program: AAF & Governance Program

Introducing the Astar Community Program: Your Journey Starts Now!

I. :open_mailbox_with_raised_flag: Introduction

Hello, Astar Community!

We’re excited to announce the official launch of the Astar Community Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to transform how our community participates, contributes, and shapes the future of Astar Network.

As Astar continues to evolve and expand its governance model beyond the Foundation to include external contributors and governance bodies like the Astar Main Council, Astar Community Council (ACC), and Astar Technical Committee, this program establishes the foundation for broader community participation in the network’s direction and operations.

II. :pushpin: What Is the Astar Community Program?

The Astar Community Program consists of two interconnected components working together to build a more decentralized, community-governed ecosystem:

2.1. Astar Ambassador Fellowship (AAF)

A structured pathway for passionate contributors to support network growth through specialized tracks like:

  • Content creation
  • Community support
  • Developer engagement
  • Business development
  • Event organization

Progress through defined roles tracked transparently on Guild.xyz, building verifiable onchain reputation through Soulbound NFTs and earning token rewards for your contributions.

2.2. Governance Program

An educational initiative empowering every ASTR holder to understand and participate in Astar Governance. Learn proposal mechanics, treasury operations, and collective decision-making through structured pathways and hands-on exercises.

Together, they create a framework where meaningful participation is recognized, tracked onchain, and directly connected to your influence within the network.

III. :light_bulb: Why This Matters

As Astar heads towards Evolution Phase 2, the network is expanding to a model where governance bodies and community contributors play central roles in the protocol’s development and strategic direction. The Astar Finance Committee (AFC), Astar Community Council (ACC), Main Council and Technical Committee represent the first steps in this expanded governance model, but the real transformation happens when every community member has the knowledge, tools, and pathways to participate meaningfully.

This program ensures that as Astar’s governance structure matures, the community is prepared not only to participate, but to lead. When critical decisions about the network’s future arise, Astar will have a trained base of participants who understand both the technical mechanics and strategic thinking required to steward a decentralized network.

This is your network. This is your opportunity. This is your future.

"I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to the Astar team for this wonderful new community initiative!
I truly believe it’s an excellent idea, absolutely perfect for rebuilding that strong sense of belonging that, unfortunately, has been a bit lacking lately.I know everything can always be improved (and I’m sure it will), but I fully and enthusiastically support this move.
I sincerely hope it brings the amazing results it deserves.Onward together, stronger than ever! :sparkles::raising_hands::sparkles:

I think this system is a great program that will encourage not only the current Ecosystem Agents but also many more community members to get involved with Astar.
Of course, we won’t know how the number and quality of participants will evolve until the program is actually underway, but the potential value is significant.

Also, since the current Agent Program will transition into this new structure, it may help address some of the occasional criticism regarding Agent compensation.

The Astar Community Program gives contributors a clear path to grow, build onchain reputation, and take part in governance as the network evolves. The structure around the Ambassador Fellowship and governance education is a big step toward a more decentralized Astar.

Looking forward to seeing more community members get involved and step into leadership.

Astar Network has continued to develop itself in every way throughout its journey. The ambassador program is one of these developments. It is the final stage in the evolution of our ambassador program at AFF. We hope that with this latest version, we can reach more effective individuals who represent Astar and achieve great success globally, starting with local SubDAO-style formations.
