You have good ideas, but the concept of redefining dApp staking from scratch has direct impacts on what Astar was designed to be.
Maarten explained that dApp staking is not a grant program. To address issue 1, Astar’s treasury is available to fund concrete proposals that make sense.
As a former member of Astar SpaceLabs, a bizdev collective aimed at onboarding dApps to Astar, I report that 100% of established dApps will only deploy on new chains if there are aggressive grants. On the other hand, very early-stage projects do not have a defined MVP that can guarantee ROI on the grants they request. Therefore, with a treasury that is not as abundant as leading L1s, only top-tier projects with defined ROIs for Astar should be eligible to receive grants (IMO).
UCG + dApp staking are interesting alternatives for builders starting their projects. However, the lack of interest from teams stems from their expectation of receiving enough funding to develop their projects relying solely on UCG + dApp staking revenue streams (ideally, teams should also seek alternative sources of revenue).
Regarding issues 3 and 4, it is essential for the ASTR community to become the Soneium community. This movement must originate from the ASTR community itself. Otherwise, another community and another token will dominate the ecosystem, and we will be left in the background. For this reason, I believe it is important that the ACS campaign is approved and succeeds to materialize these issues, 3 and 4.
