First of all, Happy New Year to everyone reading this message. I wish you and your families a peaceful and healthy 2025! 🙇‍♂️

Second, I’m very pleased to see many interactions happening on the forum in the last couple of weeks. I truly wish that more fruitful outcomes would come from all the discussions while remaining respectful and open to others’ opinions.

Third, yes, mistakes are made. Nobody is perfect, but this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t fix the mistakes we make. At the same time, I do feel that the focus is more on highlighting the mistakes, pointing fingers, or going for revenge. The solution is not always getting your way without thinking about the long-term sustainable solution. It would be much easier just to forget the past, and look step by step at how to improve and fix it. With the current sentiment, this is not possible, so we need to improve the sentiment first and get the trust back, but we need to be open to this.

First point: 100% agree! My suggestion would be let’s highlight them with the upcoming evolution Astar is taken and at the same time improve topics from the past but in a positive way with clear action steps.  
Third point: there needs to be more control on those public milestones and yes Astar Foundation can do this but I feel this is also the responsibility on those who voted ‘yes’ on a certain proposal to do this and guardian. This comes back to my second topic written above that I’m very happy with the participation on this forum. We should encourage more local communities to join here 🙏
