If DeStore has been inactive and failing to contribute to Astar Network, delisting is the right move to ensure rewards are directed towards active builders. Thanks for bringing this up.

I agree with the proposal to delist DeStore. The project has been inactive for months and even requested delisting themselves. Removing it from the dApp Staking list is appropriate based on the current situation.

I support their delisting and the process being followed to the letter.

As discussed in the other thread, Destore has requested to be delisted, so there is no reason to reject this.
It’s unfortunate, especially considering they were a Soneium Spark award-winning project, but given the circumstances, this outcome is understandable.

As requested by the DeStore team itself let’s begin the delisting process.

Well, I think this closes another chapter, and I think it’s good that it’s being eliminated immediately, so that research efforts can focus on other projects that also don’t meet the proposed goals.

One constructive criticism is that it took a long time to make this decision to delist them. I know it takes time to organize ideas and gather evidence, but in this case, they admitted that they had not contributed anything since “March 2025,” which is already compelling evidence for them to abandon ship.
