You have my support as well, glad to see expansion of XCM channels.
I believe you usually have a vote to approve the proposal. Who usually starts that vote? @Gaius_sama ?
I understand and it makes sense.
When exactly do you plan to do this? Do you have an outline?
Polkadot ref 1071 has already passed. All of these chains now have enough DOT in their accounts to open lots more channels.

I have now created the Townhall off-chain vote for this proposal:

I am absolutely in favor of the proposal. I believe that interoperability has always been one of the objectives that all chains must aim to achieve and develop. This opening to XCM channels is a step forward towards this goal and will bring value not only to Astar but also to all the interoperability between Polkadot parachians, giving more and more freedom of movement to users and helping DEFI in its development.

Incredible but the proposal has not been approved, what could be the reason, maybe it is something technical?
Indeed , sad to see that. It will be nice to understand which are the parachains we should open XCM channels with and modify the proposal.
Yes sad for me as well. Strong support from the community but 2M ASTR vote against by the Foundation. Major concern seems to be which additional channels are really needed and will be used. As ambassadors, let me know if you need any support here in the future, but for now i will work on opening XCM channels with other receptive chains.
Opening more channels is a very good thing, it ensures interoperability, but maybe it is too early to open many channels in Astar, try it in the future.
It seems the main concern was about opening “useless” channels. It would probably be better to do it separately by channel or group only those channels where we are sure there is a need.
Let’s focus on opening channels which should have some utility and volume for ASTR one by one!
I agree on opening only specific channels etc but honestly till now I see only Hydration and Bifrost being major contributors to Astar tokens on other Parachains. I really hope users from mentioned parachains have interest too
Agreeing with the others, that maybe we should only open those that are needed at the time, but the guys who voted against it would be great to hear their opinion on it.
Hi @spazcoin feel free to share if there is any progress ongoing from the receptive parachains at this moment. Perhaps it might be worth prioritizing some parachains first where there might be more needs/txs expected.
