Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights I completely resonate with many of your points, especially about allowing time for the community to adapt and giving multiple opportunities to participate.
I also joined after the Lockdrop, and I agree that a multi-epoch Burndrop could create a sense of inclusiveness and long-term engagement. Each epoch could even have slightly adjusted parameters (like ratios or multipliers) based on community participation this would keep excitement and fairness balanced over time.
Regarding fairness and whales, I really liked your observation about “psychological holding behavior.” It’s true that large holders often value the long-term vision over short term speculation. That’s why, rather than capping their participation, maybe a tiered incentive structure could work where smaller holders receive a slightly higher multiplier on early burns, while whales still retain open participation. This could encourage both sides without penalizing anyone.
On alignment, I think you nailed the key point Burndrop shouldn’t just reduce supply; it should also reinforce Astar’s centrality within the Startale × Soneium ecosystem. If ASTR remains a governance or interoperability layer between new projects, then burning becomes more meaningful, almost like “contributing to the evolution” of the network rather than merely exchanging tokens.
Thanks again for your contribution I believe discussions like yours help shape a more balanced and thoughtful Burndrop design for everyone
