First of all, thanks a lot for creating this post. I will use my time to answer most of your questions and comments about improving dApp Staking.
Just to add, there has been a discussion already going to improve the dApp Staking reward system here: dApp staking rewards changes; if any questions related to this, you can best merge it in that thread where you can directly interact with our core engineer around dApp Staking.
That’s correct but you also need to add the users in this statement without dApps community or community support, they can’t earn any awards. Thats why this system has attractive APR to attract users to stake on projects.
I agree this can be an addition source to attract dApps. We have an onchain treasury that can be used for these initiatives so it would be great if we can have an agency with the right intentions to apply for treasury funds to help us attract dApps. We currently are using our own runway for initiatives. @TAKUMAYU where are you from? Do you know good agency that would be interested to supporting devs in your region?
dApp Staking is not designed to support a developer team and being indepent from this. A good project should also have a solid treasury to survive and not be dependent on a protocols grant system, this doesn’t work in any ecosystem. I don’t know any project that can build out a project and be top tier only from a grant.
dApp Staking is a grant system that is infinitive for a project to use, it offer infinitive incentive for the contributions you deliver to Astar. Funds can be used to rewards community, support marketing campaign, use as incentive, bonus, etc… It’s not designed to fund a full team and project operations.
Thanks for sharing your proposal. I have read it completely, but it would be more beneficial if the community replied first to the proposal instead of me. I prefer not to influence with my reaction.
I appreciate the time you put into writing this thread and hope to see more of more members here soon. Community voice is key!
