@ilan, we just came out of the voting subperiod that doesn’t generate rewards. The current era, which will contain the first staking rewards, just started and ends tomorrow.
You can see all of this on the Astar Portal: https://portal.astar.network/astar/dapp-staking/discover
Thank you very much for submitting your monthly report on time.
We really appreciate your commitment in respecting the program’s timelines !
Thanks for the update, VRF going live on Soneium and gasless claiming is a solid milestone. The claim → stake flow looks smooth, and good to see both Astar Degens and Algem users included.
For future reward waves, will everything stay fully random, or could activity-based weighting be added later?
Thanks for commenting @Matt
We have had only a few claims so far. Most users did not claim the tokens or stake them.
The way that we configured VRF is that the user gets a reward for every NFT they bridge.
Meaning, if you bridged 11 Astar Degens NFTs, then you will get 11 rewards through VRF.
So, in essence, the more NFTs you bridge, the more rewards you will get and the more chance that you will luck out and get a big reward.
I can tell you that wallet ID: 0xF98705b8bC223d96B1013b84361Df6A18bA12089
received 4,600 $TLPT after bridging 19 NFTs.
Therefore, the more NFTs you transfer, the greater your chances of receiving a higher reward.
We are trying to start a Soneium Score campaign that would give users another chance to win $TLPT. But Soneium insists that we (Astar Degens and NFT bridges) have at least 1000 holders on Soneium before they approve and support the campaign.
If we manage to do that, then another wave of rewards can come for AD holders.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to encourage the migration and distribute more rewards through NFT Bridges and Soneium, and maybe other potential partners.
Ilan
Thanks @Juminstock
It’s clear now.

Hi, @Juminstock
We are having an issue withdrawing the funds from the portal.
I understood from some of the Astar Degens team that there is an issue with the RPC, or with the Multisig wallet.
Do you know the status of those issues?
Thanks
Ilan
Hi @ilan!
From our Astar Portal, we offer several RPC options that you can use if one doesn’t work for you. If you’re facing this, I recommend simply switching RPC providers.
If the problem persists, I invite you to open a ticket in our Discord where I can provide you with better support: Astar Network
Note: We have not received any other reports of this problem so far.
Thanks @Juminstock
I started a ticket and mentioned you in it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am not sure why we are the only ones who are having the issue. We are doing everything as usual.
Thanks again.
Ilan
Thank you for opening the ticket! I already replied to your ticket
Thanks @Juminstock
I sent a screenshot on the ticket and tried to paste the code, and was thrown out of the server.
I am not part of the Astar Discord anymore…
Please send me an invitation so I can rejoin.
Let me know if you want me to send the error messages in text here, or in an email.
Thank you.
Ilan
Actually, I can still see you on the server and the bot didn’t ban you, it just deleted your main message.
I think I’ve already found your error, I shared the solution directly with you in the ticket, you can check it
Thanks. @Juminstock
We appreciate it.

UCG Monthly Report Reminder
Hello @ilan & NFT Bridges team,
This is a friendly reminder that on 10-Dec-2025 your second month within the Unstoppable Community Grant (UCG) program will be completed.
As stated in the program guidelines, you are required to submit your second monthly report by that date.
Please make sure to post your report on or before 10-Dec-2025 to ensure proper evaluation and maintain transparency for both the Astar Community Council (ACC) and the wider community.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to building within the Astar ecosystem

Great execution on the Chainlink VRF integration. Gasless claims and random 100-100k $TLPT rewards is solid UX. Two quick questions: What’s the target date for the Age of Chronos bridge launch? And for the Soneium Score campaign — how close are you to the 1,000 Degens threshold?
This is our report for the second month of the UGC grant:
UGC Grant - Monthly Update (November 2025)
VRF rewards paid to Astar Degens on Soneium - on-chain proof below.
Staking live at nftbridges.xyz/staking with weekly reward epochs - on-chain logs below.
Age of Chronos integration is queued - we are waiting on their smart contracts, IPFS URL, and JSON file to begin bridging.
Astar Degens used our VRF raffle mechanism on Soneium and received rewards in varying amounts.
On-chain logs:
Our staking site is live: https://nftbridges.xyz/staking
We are running weekly staking reward epochs and distributing rewards accordingly.
On-chain logs for staking cycles:
We are ready to create the Astar ⇄ Soneium bridge for Age of Chronos.
To start, we asked SFY Labs for the following:
Smart contract addresses on Astar and Soneium
IPFS URL
Collection JSON
We have not received these yet. Once received, we will begin integration and notify the community so participants can bridge and earn rewards.
If you bridged and have not claimed yet, log in with the same wallet you bridged with, open Rewards, and claim.
After claiming, you can stake your tokens at nftbridges.xyz/staking to participate in the weekly epochs.
When you go to the bridge at https://nftbridges.xyz you will see that you are redirected to https://onchainbridges.com
This is not a mistake. We are rebranding NFT Bridges as On-chain Bridges as we are starting to deal with other types of Non-Fungible Assets, such as RWAs, identity, and more.
We will send a more detailed message when the new website content is available.
Thank you again for your support.
Ilan, on behalf of NFT Bridges.
Hi, @BoomBLB
We are waiting for the Age of Chronos to deliver the following pieces of data to us so we can start working on their bridge.
We asked them for:
We have not received these yet.
When we do receive them, we will inform the community and start working on the Age of Chronos Bridge.
Regarding the Soneium Campaign - We tried to create interest within the Astar Degens community to bridge their NFTs to Soneium (basically for free), and offered the raffle rewards and staking platform to encourage users to use our infrastructure.
Only a small number of AD holders used the bridge up till now, and Soneium insisted on having a thousand holders on Soneium before they include the project in the Soneium Score campaign.
The feedback we got from our Astar Degens contacts is that there is not enough enthusiasm for Soneium in the community, and users do not want to bridge. They did not believe that having a thousand holders on Soneium is something that is realistic.
We received great support from the degens. @Var created and published a video about the VRF raffle opportunity and @Jonas1 included our activities in the monthly newsletter and campaign. But, unfortunately, very few people took the opportunity to bridge to Soneium for free and get additional rewards for that.
We tried everything that we could think of to encourage additional Astar degens to bridge.
If you have other ideas, I am more than willing to listen.
Ilan
Thank you, @ilan , NFT Bridges team, for submitting your monthly UCG report within the deadline.
Timely updates like this are greatly appreciated, as they help the ACC and the community maintain transparency and track ongoing progress.
I also have a quick question: are your upcoming objectives mainly tied to the collaboration with SFY, or do you also have other milestones planned for the next months?
Keep up the great work! 
Thanks for the support @SimonB
So, we are having trouble initiating more projects on Astar at this point.
We are talking to one more collection. I will get their permission before revealing their identity.
We are looking for candidates interested in migrating their assets from Astar to Soneium.
If you know any collections, games, or other types of Non-Fungible assets that are looking for interoperability solutions - we are here to provide that.
I think it makes sense for the Degens who plan to move to do it sooner rather than later, as long as there are funds in the refund contract and the transfers are free for holders.
Thanks again for the support.
Ilan
Solid progress on the tech side. What’s holding up Age of Chronos — any timeline from SFY Labs? And have you gotten feedback from Degens on why they’re not bridging to Soneium?
CC @SFY_Labs for them to comment on their project
