Hi @SFY_Labs Let me guide you with the next steps. I’ve broken things down into three key areas to help guide you through the process: * * * ### 1. **$30,000 Grant from the Astar On-Chain Treasury** The first step is to submit an **on-chain treasury proposal** via either [Subsquare](https://astar.subsquare.io/treasury/proposals) or the [Polkadot.js Dashboard](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fastar.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/democracy), specifying: - The requested amount (in **ASTR** , not USD) - The **recipient address** Since your proposal is based on a USD value, we recommend using the **EMA30 ASTR price** at the time of submission (available on [Subscan here](https://astar.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price)). Please note: submitting a treasury proposal requires a **1,000 ASTR deposit**. This is **refunded if approved** , and **waived if rejected**. * * * Once submitted, the proposal must go through **governance approval** , which can happen in one of two ways: - By the **Main Council** , for requests **under 1 million ASTR** ([reference](https://forum.astar.network/t/astar-network-treasury-proposal-guidelines-rules-and-template/7879)) - By **ASTR token holders** through a **public referendum** , for requests **over 1 million ASTR** Since your request will exceed the 1M ASTR threshold, it must be approved via a **public vote** by token holders. After submitting your Treasury Proposal, you’ll also need to submit a **[Public Proposal](https://astar.subsquare.io/democracy/proposals)** to vote on it. This will require: - Creating a **preimage** for the `treasury.approveProposal(proposal_ID)` call [here](https://astar.subsquare.io/preimages), with `proposal_ID` the ID of your Treasury Proposal. _Example: `0x93a6c80cf109f425bb078fab0682e191fc3eeaf23d943a9218826f9d5abf815e`_ - Creating a public referendum on-chain (see [this example](https://astar.subsquare.io/treasury/proposals/1) for reference) Once your Public Proposal is submitted, it will automatically be scheduled as a **Public Referendum** in the next voting cycle. Token holders will have **7 days** to vote. If approved, the payment will be executed during the next treasury payout cycle. * * * ### 2. **dApp Staking Registration** To register your project for **dApp Staking** , you have two options: #### a. **Public Proposal & Referendum** Similar process as above, but using the preimage for the `dappStaking.register()` call ([Example for the preimage call](https://astar.subsquare.io/community-council/motions/14)). #### b. **Astar Community Council (ACC)** Alternatively, you can request the **[@Community\_Council](https://forum.astar.network/groups/community_council)** to initiate a vote. Council members will assess your eligibility and decide whether to approve your project. Regardless of the method, you’ll need to provide: - A **developer’s native ASTR address** (to claim rewards) - A **verified contract address** for your dApp (Astar L1, EVM, or Soneium L2) **Bear in mind** that your project must meet the basic requirements to join dApp Staking — such as having a functioning **dApp, product, or MVP deployed on Astar L1 or Soneium**. Refer to the [eligibility criteria](https://docs.astar.network/docs/use/dapp-staking/for-devs/requirements) to ensure your project qualifies. You’re free to choose the approach that best suits you — whether via community referendum or a vote by the Community Council. * * * ### 3. **Unstoppable Community Grant (UCG) Program** As an alternative or complement to dApp Staking, you may also apply to the **[UCG program](https://docs.astar.network/docs/use/governance/unstoppable-community-grant-program)**, which allows projects to enter **Tier 3** directly. To apply: - Submit a formal application for review ([Example](https://forum.astar.network/t/nft-bridges-dapp-staking-proposal/8072)) - The Community Council will vote and may choose to **register and stake on your project** Currently, **one slot is open** in the UCG program. > **[Google Sheets: Sign-in](https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1ysQOh6ABlXMxJIcq5P8GwwCEaDkOGVb1l83JOPB2H5Y%2Fedit%3Fgid%3D0&dsh=S-1052920263%3A1764264602707104&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1ysQOh6ABlXMxJIcq5P8GwwCEaDkOGVb1l83JOPB2H5Y%2Fedit%3Fgid%3D0&ifkv=ARESoU2XHcEbQtRH7o0ogcbRjlXdpX0bILDFHz1dSVa2MmEiUBUgbrl53pYfsmGOXFxS-D6ghY5Qnw<mpl=sheets&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=wise&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin)** > > Access Google Sheets with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use). Additionally, as introduced by Igor today, a **fixed threshold system** will soon be implemented. Once in place, the Tier 3 threshold will be lowered to **20M ASTR** , which can be sustained by the Community Treasury — easing concerns about eligibility and retention at that tier. Since you’ve raised this point before, I recommend reviewing the upcoming changes as they may be relevant to your situation. > [@dApp Staking - Maximum Threshold](https://forum.astar.network/t/dapp-staking-maximum-threshold/8480): > > Hello everyone, We are working on preparing a new feature related to dApp staking and the threshold system, likely in the next runtime upgrade (exact date TBD), to introduce a fixed maximum and minimum threshold to the tier system. Here’s a quick overview to help you understand changes better. Background Since the September 3rd runtime upgrade ([v5.43.0](https://github.com/AstarNetwork/Astar/releases/tag/v5.43.0)), tier thresholds have been calculated dynamically as percentages of total token issuance for tiers 1, 2, and 3. These thresholds are currentl… cc: @FFR23 * * * ### **Suggested Sequence** As only **one public referendum can be active at a time** , it’s not possible for ASTR holders to vote on both the Treasury Proposal and dApp Staking registration simultaneously. Therefore, I suggest the following: 1. **Submit your Treasury Proposal** and the corresponding **Public Referendum** 2. **Apply to the UCG program** and request a vote from the Community Council * * * If you need help with creating on-chain proposals, feel free to consult the [governance documentation](https://docs.astar.network/docs/use/governance/subsquare_guide), or reach out to me directly on Telegram ( **@Gaius_sama** ). Please remember: on-chain actions are **final and irreversible** , so it’s strongly recommended to **test on [Subsquare Shibuya](https://shibuya.subsquare.io/)** or work with someone familiar with the process before executing any transactions. I’m happy to assist you if needed. Let me know if you have any further questions.
