Thanks for the proposal.
StarSwap started offering AI-related products at one point, but unfortunately I have not seen any further activity since then. There seems to be no response from them and I agree with your decision to delist.

I also agree with the delisting.
However, I want to check on GitHub whether StarSwap has truly halted development, but it seems GitHub access is provided only to council members.

Have council members reviewed the GitHub commit history or similar details?

I tried to use Starswap ages ago and I haven’t seen any update or social post in the last 6 months so I believe it’s better to delist the project from dApp Staking

StarSwap is inactive since a while. I support this proposal.

The proposal is detailed and comprehensive, very good. If I understand correctly, from what I’ve observed on social networks, StarSwap hasn’t had many updates for quite a while. I’m not sure if they’re developing something or if the project has been put on hold, though there’s a high chance it might be the latter. Anyway, I fully support this proposal =)

Thank you for this proposal, we can not continue to allow pariah projects to continue to feed on dApp Staking without contributing in any way to the ecosystem.
