Let me explain this to you in more detail again.
To answer your question, everything will depend on the proposal you wish to submit. At the moment, you have two proposals in progress:
- One requesting a 990K ASTR grant: Age Of Chronos - Treasury Proposal
- Another requesting the 25M ASTR staking grant from the UCG program: Age Of Chronos - UCG Proposal
These proposals, as Dino already explained, are handled differently depending on which treasury you’re requesting the funds from.
- If you’re requesting funds from the community treasury, the Community Council will be the one to respond to your request.
- If you’re requesting funds from the main treasury, you’ll need to go through the main Council or a referendum (which is actually the best route in your case).
All of this is clearly explained in our documentation: Astar Subsquare - Onchain Governance | Welcome to Astar
So, what’s the point I’m trying to make?
You’re requesting a guarantee from our side, but our governance is executed 100% on-chain. Therefore, if you want a grant or something similar, the guarantee lies in your deliverables.
One final piece of advice I can give you: lower the score of your proposal and apply to our UCG program through the Community Council. It’s the most common and effective path for projects with a similar or even earlier stage than yours, and we currently have available slots.
I hope this information helps you, best of luck on your journey in Astar!
