We are thrilled to bring you an exciting update regarding the upgrades to our indices and iToken staking contracts.

The indexes for GMX ARB, Chainlink, ETH, WBTC, and the iToken staking rewards have been airdropped to holders. This means that holders of iTokens associated with these indices have been airdropped the underlying assets, further reiterating the utility and flexibility of our platform.

But that's not all – we understand the importance of rewarding our users for their participation and investment in our ecosystem. As such, we have also implemented a mechanism to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) on the money invested into these indexes and the corresponding iToken staking rewards. This will provide greater transparency and clarity regarding the performance of your investments within the Astra DAO ecosystem.

To give you a clearer picture of the market performance of each index since its creation, here's a table showing the Market ROI from the start date.

However, it's essential to note that with these rewards comes a performance fee. To sustain the development and growth of our platform, a 20% performance fee was charged on profits made from the indexes. This fee is necessary to ensure the long-term viability and success of Astra DAO, allowing us to continue innovating and delivering value to our community.

We are excited about the possibilities these upgrades bring and look forward to embarking on this journey with you, our valued community members.

Thank you for your continued support and trust in Astra DAO.

We are writing to inform you about an upcoming upgrade to our indices and iToken staking contract that will enhance the overall experience for all our users. We will pause deposits and withdrawals on all indices as contracts are being upgraded to implement improvements.

Please note that your funds and iToken rewards will be completely safe during this process. To ensure the safety of your assets, all funds and iToken rewards will be automatically returned to your wallet once the upgrades are complete.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance our platform for your benefit. Our team is working diligently to complete the upgrades as quickly as possible, and we will notify you as soon as deposits and withdrawals are enabled again.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team. We are here to assist you every step of the way.

What Else Astra DAO is Up To:

In addition to our ongoing efforts to improve our platform, we are excited to share that the Astra DAO team is heavily focused on the launchpad. We are working tirelessly to launch the Astra DAO Launchpad platform by Q2 of this year. This launchpad will serve as a springboard for promising projects, providing them with the support and resources they need to succeed.

We are already in talks with the first project utilizing the Astra DAO Launchpad. While we can't reveal too much now, those in the know will recognize the significance of this partnership. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work towards fostering innovation and growth within the crypto community.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Astra DAO aims to enable all users to take full advantage of the platform's features.

Astra DAO, an open-source and non-custodial index investment platform, has radically transformed. Originally built on Ethereum, it has now seamlessly transitioned to the Arbitrum network. This transition ensures a more efficient experience for all our users, aligning with our vision of making crypto-oriented investment strategies accessible to a broader audience through a distinctive tokenization process. For those seeking a comprehensive technical breakdown of Astra DAO, please check our GitBook.

In response to the unfortunate security breach incident that took place on September 14, 2023, we initiated a project fork, leading to the deployment of brand-new contracts on Arbitrum. Our dedicated team has spared no effort in enhancing the platform, diligently incorporating valuable insights and suggestions from our users. Furthermore, it is worth noting that Astra DAO has successfully completed an audit by Quill Audits, in addition to previous audits by Hacken and Halborn, reinforcing our unwavering commitment to security.

Astra DAO's offerings are designed to cater to a wide range of users. Through our platform, users can craft their own indices and participate in various index-based investment opportunities. Index creators stand to benefit from revenue generated through performance and early-exit fees, while index participants can enjoy returns by holding iTokens.

To provide you with more value, we are excited to announce the re-launch of our staking program. Staking your Astra DAO holdings can be a beneficial endeavor, allowing you to grow your holdings. Whether you hold ASTRADAO, iTokens, or LP tokens, our staking program offers you the opportunity to earn passive yields. Check out this post on how to stake your ASTRADAO tokens.

At Astra DAO, we recognize and reward the value of long-term asset holding, irrespective of the size of your holdings. This underscores our commitment to creating a platform that caters to a diverse user base.

You can track the performance and availability of ASTRADAO, and find us listed on Coingecko and Coinmarketcap. To buy ASTRADAO tokens, simply head to Uniswap or MEXC, where you can easily make your purchase. The Arbitrum contract address is 0xd3188e0df68559c0B63361f6160c57Ad88B239D8
