GM,
many points that you pick up have been covered in the proposal and this thread.
Though I wish to highlight the point of staking rewards flowing into the project and not into a kickback for stakers.
DApp staking is a model to give projects the base to keep developing. Not to incentivice “rewardhoppers” to stake with certain projects. It only leads to a race to the bottom when it is all about reward kickbacks because projects will only try to give more % to stakers to atrackt them. Its less about the quality of the project than it is about the extra on top rewards for the stakers.
I would argue that we dont fear competition but actially do the opposite by saying that we reward our backers in our own project-items which they can use, isntead of handing out $ASTR to lure reward hoppers in.
I hope this gives you a better overview in combination with the other answers we provided.
When it comes to solving issues with community structure on ASTAR itself, I believe it is up to everyone to solve their issues. We can certainly help with structuring communities overall via specialised equippables that can function as key NFTs for token gated access to certain community areas.
Thats also one of the beauties of equippable NFT 2.0 that we cover. BUt how that can and wants to be utilized is up to every project or partner themselves. We are more than happy to create, impliment and support.
