Hi everyone, how about following tickers? Please vote or add your suggestions. Thanks 😊

1. A 3-character ticker is popular so it is difficult to have the ticker that has not been used by other project. These days, many projects add a numeric character in their token ticker.

1ST (A star = 1 star) 😃  
AS2 (2: comes from “T” coz T is No.20 in English character. 20 --\>2+0=2) 😇  
AS3 (3: comes from the sum of “TAR” (T:20, A:1, R:18). 20+1+18–\>2+1+9–\>12–\>3) 🤔  
A4N (4: comes from the sum of “STAR” (S:19,T:20,A:1,R:18)) 😅

1. Use 2-character ticker 😍  
AS, AN, or A4 (4: comes from the sum of “STAR” )

Will add more if found any good ticker 🕶

I like:

A\* = A Star (asterisk). I haven’t seen any other project ticker with \*. Also not sure if this is possible.

\*N = \* stands for A Star (1 asterisk). N stands for Network.

It’s possible to include a number. I saw some ERC20 tokens on Kucoin and Binance as well.  
However, it seems like including a number in the ticker is not popular among users.  
How about below 3 letter long ticker? 😀

AHN ( A Hoshi Network, Hoshi=star) 🎖  
ANP ( Astar Network Polkadot parachain/Parachain)  
AAN (A And N)

Is Astar Network a reference to A Star Network? Which is centralised with a single point of Failure.

And if not then what is it a reference to? Maybe A1 as it’s memorable.

> **[Star network](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_network)**

> A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks. In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies.
> The hub and hosts, and the transmission lines between them, form a graph with the topology of a star. Data on a star network passes through the hub before continuing to its destination. The h...

This is a completely different project. We didn’t decide the ticker yet but the ticker needs to be the one that no one uses in the market.
