Hi Dennis,
Thank you for the inquiry.
To simply answer your question, the liquidity provision was already carried out with approximately $11M ASTR and $27M LAY.
Any further operation on this is yet to be planned, be it withdrawal of the asset provided or additional provision.
But the context seems a bit complicated for everyone including us. So let me try to clarify the situation below by separating 2 different things: buyback and liquidity provision, even this post gets too long to simply answer your question.
For the buyback, which you replied to, has nothing to do with the asset you mentioned; 11M aprox, astr, 500k usd
As is shown here, we did/will do the buyback with the $4M ASTR raised in the IDO + dApp staking rewards.
and we already used more than $2M ASTR on that.
For the $ASTR left to be used for further buybacks, we are currently pending the operation due to the market condition as explained here.
The future of the market is still quite unclear, which makes it a bit too difficult for us to let you know when it will be happening.
Regarding the liquidity provision, as discussed in this forum, it’s slightly different from what should be explained as “Starlay borrowed ASTR from astar core-team”, in a sense that it’s in the wallet under the control of Astar core-team. You can check the detail here.

And, the context of using the fund of Astar core-team is as written in this post and the following threads.

this should be the proof of the operation.

And as you mentioned, you can check the balance of the account which is managed by the Astar core-team.
