Thank you, @Dino. So, all we can do now is wait.
The launch period has restarted once again — a system that’s difficult for a company to sustain, while it’s so easy for other players to take advantage of it.
The processes are slow, and the thresholds are extremely high. To be honest, aside from companies already familiar with the Astar ecosystem, I find it really hard for newcomers like us to get involved.
I believe that, as a community, we should strive to simplify some of these processes. We pushed hard for the council to verify our work; all conditions for a positive decision were met, with the work delivered and fully documented. Yet, if you want to avoid making a decision, you can always find a way — as has happened here. Four months have passed since our initial request, and despite everything, we are still waiting to receive a judgment on a possible first milestone.
The community has repeatedly voiced criticism here on the forum regarding the payments voted on solely by the council for ambassadors and agents.
The council has criticized the unsustainability of our project without any technical justification — merely subjective opinions — despite having received thorough explanations. But isn’t there a problem when the work of these other contributors is dismissed? Documented, well-executed work should be recognized regardless of one’s role. Instead, we keep seeing opposition only toward one type of network participant.
Do you think this is the right path to attract developers?
Currently, we are playing a game that makes no sense for a company. However, we’ve given our word and we are moving forward — honestly, we have nothing more to say.
Thank you.
