During the call, several key topics were covered, each helping define the network’s new direction more clearly: from the activation of <strong>Tokenomics 3.0</strong> to the major overhaul of <strong>dApp Staking</strong>, along with the <strong>new Astar Portal</strong>, governance updates, and a more concrete first introduction to <strong>AstarFi</strong> within the broader <strong>Astar Stack</strong> vision.</p><p>The overall message was very clear: Astar wants to evolve, simplify its structure, improve the user experience, and most importantly build more sustainable mechanisms and products for the long term. This is no longer just about infrastructure. It is about an ecosystem that wants to focus on quality, real utility, and long-term value for the <strong>$ASTR</strong> token and the wider community.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3d33da0157ac28df03b6452f93d706e9754403455f7a5ac9577ba1f17fe8dc8d.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="606" nextwidth="1234" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><h2 id="h-tokenomics-30-astars-new-economic-framework" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Tokenomics 3.0: Astar’s new economic framework</h2><p>One of the central topics of the call was, naturally, <strong>Tokenomics 3.0</strong>, which is now live and was presented as the result of a long community-driven process that began in May 2025. During the call, it was emphasized several times that this evolution was not born from a unilateral decision, but from a process built with contributions from the community, the Foundation, and the ecosystem’s governance bodies.</p><p>Among the most important changes is the move to a <strong>maximum supply fixed at 10 billion $ASTR</strong>. This was described as a real hard cap, not just an indicative threshold. At the same time, it was also noted that through future burn initiatives and possible developments related to Burndrop, the effective supply could end up being even lower.</p><p>Another key change is the reduction of <strong>maximum inflation from 7% to 5.5%</strong>. It was also clarified that this figure represents the theoretical upper ceiling, while current real inflation is said to be around <strong>3%</strong>. This matters because it helps correct superficial interpretations of the numbers and shows that the new economic structure is designed to be far more disciplined and sustainable than before.</p><p>On top of that, annual emissions are being reduced by around <strong>129-130 million $ASTR</strong>, while <strong>80% of gas fees continue to be permanently burned</strong>. In short, Tokenomics 3.0 is intended to push Astar toward a more structured, less inflationary model that is better aligned with protecting value over time.</p><h2 id="h-a-collective-execution-not-a-top-down-decision" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">A collective execution, not a top-down decision</h2><p>One of the strongest ideas that emerged during the call was the concept of <strong>“collective execution.”</strong> Astar clearly wanted to frame Tokenomics 3.0 not as a reform imposed from above, but as the outcome of a shared process of listening, discussion, and refinement.</p><p>The Foundation certainly played an important role in starting the conversation and shaping the initial draft, but the final result was described as the product of months of dialogue involving contributors, councils, community members, stakers, and other ecosystem participants. It was also explained that Astar’s structure itself, thanks to governance-adjustable parameters, allows tokenomics to evolve in a flexible way over time.</p><p>This matters not only from a communication standpoint, but also from a broader governance perspective. Astar wants to present itself as a network where governance is not just symbolic, but a real mechanism capable of shaping major decisions.</p><h2 id="h-dapp-staking-from-72-projects-down-to-16-with-a-focus-on-quality-and-sustainability" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">dApp Staking: from 72 projects down to 16, with a focus on quality and sustainability</h2><p>Another fundamental section of the call focused on the major overhaul of <strong>dApp Staking</strong>, one of the core mechanisms of the Astar ecosystem. Here, the change was significant and direct.</p><p>The new model reduces the number of eligible projects from <strong>72 to 16</strong>, with the stated goal of moving away from quantity and toward <strong>quality</strong>. According to the call, the previous system suffered from several issues: rewards were too diluted, too many inactive or low-value projects remained in the system, the experience was overly complex for users, and incentives were not concentrated enough on the most strategic builders.</p><p>Under the new model, the tiers are reduced to <strong>2</strong>:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Tier 2</strong> with <strong>6 slots</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Tier 3</strong> with <strong>10 slots</strong></p></li></ul><p>The <strong>bonus rewards</strong> mechanism is also being removed, as it was considered too complex and inefficient from a user experience perspective. The staking cycle is also changing significantly, moving to a <strong>yearly structure</strong>, designed to make participation easier and less fragmented.</p><p>The message here is simple: less dispersion, less noise, more selection, and a stronger ability to direct rewards and attention toward projects that are considered genuinely valuable to the ecosystem.</p><h2 id="h-a-stricter-selection-process-and-a-more-active-role-for-the-acc" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">A stricter selection process and a more active role for the ACC</h2><p>Connected to the new dApp Staking model is the strengthened role of the <strong>Astar Community Council (ACC)</strong>, which was presented as one of the main actors responsible for ongoing project monitoring.</p><p>This is not simply about picking 16 names and leaving them untouched. During the call, it was explained that the ACC will take a more active role in checking whether selected projects remain aligned with the required standards, stay active, continue delivering value to the ecosystem, and maintain a meaningful and useful presence for the community.</p><p>That means the new dApp Staking is not only more selective, but also <strong>more curated</strong>, with a higher degree of oversight and review compared to the past. Astar wants to avoid situations where projects remain in the system without continuing to provide meaningful value.</p><h2 id="h-rewards-remain-competitive-but-with-less-pressure-on-the-token" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Rewards remain competitive, but with less pressure on the token</h2><p>The call also stressed that the new model is not meant to remove the attractiveness of staking. On the contrary, it was stated that rewards remain competitive, with an <strong>APR around 10%</strong> for users participating in dApp Staking.</p><p>The difference compared to the past is that the system is now trying to find a more sustainable balance. Rewards may be somewhat less aggressive in absolute terms, but they are much more consistent with a framework aimed at reducing inflationary pressure and better protecting the value of <strong>$ASTR</strong> over the medium and long term.</p><h2 id="h-the-new-astar-portal-simpler-cleaner-and-more-useful" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">The new Astar Portal: simpler, cleaner, and more useful</h2><p>Another major topic of the call was the redesign of the <strong>Astar Portal</strong>, which serves as the main access point for staking, asset management, governance, and other key ecosystem functions.</p><p>The new Portal was presented as a cleaner, simpler platform with a refreshed visual identity. The main sections mentioned were <strong>Assets, Stake, Bridge, Analytics, Governance, and News</strong>, with some updates already live and further improvements expected over the coming weeks.</p><p>The most significant change, however, relates to the <strong>wallet experience</strong>. Michi explained that one of the long-standing pain points for many users, especially newcomers, has been the distinction between <strong>EVM-side</strong> and <strong>Substrate-side</strong> wallets and addresses. Concepts like H160, SS58, and transfers between different address formats have often caused confusion.</p><p>The new Portal is designed to reduce that friction. Users will be able to connect EVM wallets and Substrate wallets more clearly, use them together, and handle actions that previously required more complicated steps or technical documentation. The goal is to make the experience far more guided and intuitive, both for users staking and for those moving assets or interacting with centralized exchanges.</p><p>It was also mentioned that there is still access to the <strong>legacy portal</strong> for those who may need it during the transition period.</p><h2 id="h-16-lights-into-build-the-new-campaign-to-showcase-astars-builders" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">“16 Lights Into Build”: the new campaign to showcase Astar’s builders</h2><p>To support this new dApp Staking phase, Astar will also launch a campaign called <strong>“16 Lights Into Build,”</strong> designed to highlight the 16 selected projects and help the community better understand them.</p><p>The idea is simple but important: over the coming weeks, the selected projects will be showcased one by one, explaining what they do, what value they bring to the ecosystem, and why they may be an interesting choice for users who want to stake their <strong>$ASTR</strong>.</p><p>This campaign serves a double purpose. On one side, it gives visibility to the selected builders. On the other, it has a strong educational value, helping users better understand the new staking system and make more informed decisions. In a moment of major change, guiding the community with clear informational content is both important and necessary.</p><h2 id="h-governance-increasingly-central-to-the-astar-model" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Governance: increasingly central to the Astar model</h2><p>The call once again reinforced that <strong>governance</strong> remains one of the core pillars of Astar’s structure. All major recent decisions, including the updates to tokenomics and staking, have gone through formal governance processes.</p><p>One particularly useful point that was highlighted is that users can <strong>use their $ASTR both for dApp Staking and for governance voting at the same time</strong>, without having to unstake in order to participate in referenda. This is important because it lowers both the psychological and practical barriers to participation.</p><p>The Foundation also suggested that governance will increasingly be used in a concrete way, including to evaluate whether certain funded tools or services still make sense for the community or not. In that way, governance becomes not only a way to approve major reforms, but also a mechanism for continuously assessing whether real value is being delivered across the ecosystem.</p><h2 id="h-toward-stronger-alignment-through-dollarastr-based-compensation" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Toward stronger alignment through $ASTR-based compensation</h2><p>Among the additional points mentioned during the call was the path toward a possible shift from USD-based compensation to <strong>$ASTR-based compensation</strong> for contributors and ecosystem participants.</p><p>This is interesting because it reflects a desire to align internal incentives more closely with the token itself. In other words, contributors would be rewarded in a way that is more directly connected to the growth, sustainability, and performance of Astar.</p><p>This strengthens the idea of a more cohesive community, one that is increasingly aligned with the network’s long-term interests.</p><h2 id="h-astarfi-and-astar-stack-astars-new-product-first-direction" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">AstarFi and Astar Stack: Astar’s new product-first direction</h2><p>The final part of the call introduced one of the most interesting and potentially strategic topics: <strong>AstarFi</strong> and the broader vision known as <strong>Astar Stack</strong>.</p><p>AstarFi was presented as a kind of <strong>Web3 neobank</strong> or <strong>on-chain finance hub</strong>, designed to help users manage their money, assets, and financial planning directly on-chain. The features described, still at an early stage, include tools for saving, earn products, wealth management, and in the future potentially even integrations with real-world spending and payment solutions.</p><p>Beyond the individual features, the most important point is the strategic direction this initiative represents. Martin was very direct: in his view, the simple model of a general-purpose blockchain is no longer enough. Astar wants to move toward a <strong>product-first</strong> approach, building real tools that people actually use and that create tangible value for the ecosystem.</p><p>This may be the most significant part of the vision presented during the call. It is not just about optimizing staking and tokenomics anymore, but about redefining Astar’s role in the Web3 landscape, shifting from being just a chain to becoming an ecosystem of usable products.</p><h2 id="h-to-stay-updated" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><span data-name="link" class="emoji" data-type="emoji">🔗</span> To Stay Updated</h2><p><strong>Astar Network – X (Twitter):</strong><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/AstarNetwork">https://x.com/AstarNetwork</a></p><p><strong>EmanuCt96 – X (Twitter):</strong><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/EmanuCt96">https://x.com/EmanuCt96</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

incentivi</p></li><li><p>Supportare servizi futuri in grado di generare revenue ripetibili e allineate all’ecosistema</p></li></ul><p>L’enfasi è sulla costruzione di rail DeFi affidabili, integrati in

partecipazione allo staking più semplice da comprendere e gestire</p></li></ul><p>Il dApp Staking continua a essere un meccanismo centrale per allineare partecipazione degli utenti, incentivi delle

builders;</p></li><li><p>a new chain in collaboration with <strong>SBI</strong>, focused on tokenizing stocks, which will be part of the same ecosystem;</p></li><li><p>a strong focus on <strong>USD

that the <strong>Astar Foundation is considering launching an official mini–app</strong> inside Startale App, with two key goals:</p><ul><li><p>enabling direct access to <strong>dApp Staking</strong> via Startale App,</p></li><li><p>using the superapp as a <strong>native gateway</strong> to the main functions of the Astar ecosystem.</p></li></ul><p>This makes it clear that Startale App will not

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Con l’avvicinarsi di <strong>Astar Evolution 2.0</strong>, la Foundation ha pubblicato un <strong>RFC (Request for Comments)</strong> per introdurre una delle idee più discusse nella storia di Astar Network: il <strong>Burndrop</strong>. Si tratta di un concetto nuovo per Astar — una proposta che, proprio come il Lockdrop del 2019, potrebbe segnare un nuovo capitolo per la community e per l’economia di $ASTR.</p><p>Questo articolo riassume i punti principali della proposta e le risposte fornite da Maarten e dal team, per aiutare la community a comprendere direzione, obiettivi e implicazioni.</p><hr><p><strong>👉🏻Aggiornamento:</strong> Il CEO di Startale e fondatore di Astar Network, <strong>Sota Watanabe</strong>, ha annunciato su <strong>X</strong> che il <strong>Burndrop sarà ufficialmente presentato a dicembre 2025</strong>. 🔥</p><h2 id="h-dalle-origini-alla-fase-2" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🌟 Dalle origini alla Fase 2</h2><p>Dal 2019, Astar si è distinta per scelte coraggiose:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Lockdrop invece di ICO</strong>, premiando la fiducia a lungo termine invece della raccolta fondi.</p></li><li><p><strong>Evoluzione tecnica e comunitaria</strong>, da Plasm a una delle parachain più solide di Polkadot.</p></li><li><p><strong>Apertura verso l’EVM e nuovi ecosistemi</strong>, culminata nel lancio di Astar zkEVM e nella successiva migrazione a <strong>Soneium</strong> (un Layer2 creato da Startale in collaborazione con Sony).</p></li><li><p><strong>Governance onchain e interoperabilità</strong>, con Chainlink CCIP e l’adozione di modelli sempre più decentralizzati.</p></li></ul><p>Ora, con l’arrivo della <strong>Phase 2</strong>, la Foundation propone un nuovo passo: il <strong>Burndrop</strong>.</p><hr><h2 id="h-cose-il-burndrop" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔄 Cos’è il Burndrop</h2><p>Il <strong>Burndrop</strong> è un’iniziativa <strong>volontaria</strong> che permetterà ai detentori di $ASTR di <strong>bruciare</strong> i propri token in cambio di <strong>nuovi token</strong> (ancora da definire) <strong>collegati all’ecosistema Startale</strong>.</p><blockquote><p>🔹 <strong>Nota importante:</strong> Questa iniziativa relativa al Burndrop <strong>non riguarda</strong> i token che Startale o Astar Foundation emetteranno, né token di dApp su Soneium. L’ecosistema di Startale è composto da una varietà di blockchain a cui Startale contribuisce, tra cui attualmente Astar e Soneium. Altre iniziative sono disponibili sul <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://startale.com/en/blog">blog di Startale</a>.</p></blockquote><p>L’obiettivo è <strong>ridurre la supply circolante di $ASTR</strong>, creando una maggiore <strong>scarsità</strong> e, di conseguenza, <strong>rafforzando il valore del token</strong> nel lungo termine.</p><p>🔗 <strong>In sintesi:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Non è uno swap obbligatorio.</p></li><li><p>$ASTR rimane il token principale e non verrà sostituito.</p></li><li><p>Chi non partecipa non perde nulla.</p></li><li><p>Chi partecipa riceverà nuovi token legati a un ecosistema differente.</p></li></ul><hr><h2 id="h-la-filosofia-dietro-il-burndrop" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💡 La filosofia dietro il Burndrop</h2><p>Se il <strong>Lockdrop</strong> premiava la <strong>fedeltà nel tempo</strong>, il <strong>Burndrop</strong> premia la <strong>convinzione</strong>. È un modo per offrire alla community la possibilità di agire con fiducia e partecipare a un nuovo capitolo della visione condivisa di Startale e Astar.</p><blockquote><p>“Il Burndrop è un invito, non un obbligo. È un segnale di fiducia e disciplina nella supply.”</p></blockquote><hr><h2 id="h-cosa-sappiamo-finora" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔹 Cosa sappiamo finora</h2><p>La Foundation non ha ancora definito parametri o soglie precise. Tuttavia, nel forum sono già state condivise alcune <strong>linee guida</strong>:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Evento volontario e irreversibile</strong>: nessun obbligo o conversione forzata.</p></li><li><p><strong>Equità per tutti i detentori</strong>: si stanno studiando meccanismi per garantire una partecipazione bilanciata (limiti, tier o più round).</p></li><li><p><strong>Obiettivo comune</strong>: ridurre la supply, rafforzare $ASTR e mantenere una base di “diamond hands.”</p></li></ul><hr><h2 id="h-domande-e-risposte-della-foundation" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💬 Domande e risposte della Foundation</h2><h3 id="h-e-uno-swap-o-un-rebrand-di-dollarastr" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">È uno swap o un rebrand di $ASTR?</h3><p>No. $ASTR rimane il token principale di Astar Network e continua a mantenere tutte le sue funzioni su Layer 1. Il Burndrop offre semplicemente un’opportunità aggiuntiva e facoltativa per ottenere nuovi token legati a un progetto differente dell’ecosistema Startale.</p><hr><h3 id="h-cosa-succede-se-non-partecipo" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Cosa succede se non partecipo?</h3><p>Nulla cambia. Chi sceglie di non bruciare i propri $ASTR mantiene tutte le funzionalità e utilità abituali (staking, governance, utilizzo onchain). L’unica differenza è che, man mano che la supply complessiva diminuisce, <strong>ogni $ASTR diventa più raro</strong>.</p><hr><h3 id="h-come-verranno-garantite-trasparenza-e-correttezza" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Come verranno garantite trasparenza e correttezza?</h3><p>La Foundation sta valutando diversi meccanismi:</p><ul><li><p>limiti di partecipazione per evitare concentrazioni,</p></li><li><p>più round per ampliare l’accesso,</p></li><li><p>dashboard pubbliche per garantire trasparenza,</p></li><li><p>possibili “test events” prima del lancio ufficiale.</p></li></ul><p>Tutti i dettagli verranno presentati dopo una fase di revisione basata sul feedback della community.</p><hr><h3 id="h-quando-verranno-condivisi-i-dettagli-definitivi" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Quando verranno condivisi i dettagli definitivi?</h3><p>Prima di qualsiasi azione, la Foundation pubblicherà una descrizione completa dei token con collegamenti alla tokenomics, alle regole di ammissibilità, alle tempistiche e al processo tecnico. Nessuna operazione di burn inizierà finché tutti non avranno piena chiarezza e tempo sufficiente per decidere.</p><hr><h2 id="h-una-riflessione-della-foundation" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💭 Una riflessione della Foundation</h2><blockquote><p>“Dato che riceveremo molti token di un nuovo progetto, vogliamo destinarli al Burndrop per offrire ai weakhands un’occasione di uscita, riducendo al contempo la supply e mantenendo una base solida di Diamondhands. Così potremo continuare la Fase 2 su fondamenta più forti e motivate.”</p></blockquote><hr><h2 id="h-conclusione" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔥 Conclusione</h2><p>Il Burndrop rappresenta una delle idee più ambiziose mai proposte da Astar — una combinazione di <strong>riduzione della supply</strong>, <strong>nuove opportunità per i detentori</strong> e <strong>rinnovata fiducia</strong> nella visione a lungo termine del network.</p><p>Non è ancora una decisione finale, ma una <strong>chiamata alla community</strong> per contribuire alla definizione del design del Burndrop.</p><p>La vera decisione arriverà solo quando il quadro sarà chiaro in ogni dettaglio: da un lato la <strong>tokenomics</strong>, le <strong>utilità</strong> e a quale <strong>ecosistema</strong> apparterrà il nuovo token ottenuto bruciando $ASTR; dall’altro, la <strong>direzione di Astar nella Fase 2</strong>, che sembra essere l’aggiornamento più importante mai realizzato nella storia di Astar Network.</p><hr><p><strong>📢 Il dibattito è ancora aperto:</strong> Chiunque può lasciare il proprio feedback nel thread ufficiale sul forum di Astar Network 👉 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://forum.astar.network/t/request-for-comments-astar-evolution-phase-2/9045/28">https://forum.astar.network/t/request-for-comments-astar-evolution-phase-2/9045/28</a> Ogni opinione contribuirà a plasmare il futuro della proposta — e quello di $ASTR.</p><hr><p><strong>🧭 Rimani informato:</strong> Segui gli account ufficiali su X per aggiornamenti diretti:</p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/AstarNetwork">@AstarNetwork</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/StartaleGroup">@StartaleGroup</a></p></li></ul>]]></content:encoded>

This is a new concept for Astar — a proposal that, much like the 2019 Lockdrop, could mark a new chapter for both the community and the $ASTR economy.</p><p>This article summarizes the main points of the proposal and the answers provided by Maarten and the team to help the community understand its direction, objectives, and implications.</p><hr><h2 id="h-from-the-origins-to-phase-2" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🌟 From the Origins to Phase 2</h2><p>Since 2019, Astar has stood out for its bold choices:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Lockdrop instead of ICO</strong>, rewarding long-term commitment over fundraising.</p></li><li><p><strong>Technical and community evolution</strong>, from Plasm to one of the most solid parachains in Polkadot.</p></li><li><p><strong>Opening to the EVM and new ecosystems</strong>, culminating in the launch of Astar zkEVM and later its migration to <strong>Soneium</strong> (a Layer2 created by Startale in collaboration with Sony).</p></li><li><p><strong>Onchain governance and interoperability</strong>, with Chainlink CCIP and the adoption of increasingly decentralized models.</p></li></ul><p>Now, with <strong>Phase 2</strong> approaching, the Foundation is proposing a new step forward: the <strong>Burndrop</strong>.</p><hr><h2 id="h-what-is-the-burndrop" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔄 What is the Burndrop?</h2><p>The <strong>Burndrop</strong> is a <strong>voluntary initiative</strong> that will allow $ASTR holders to <strong>burn</strong> their tokens in exchange for <strong>new token(s)</strong> (to be defined) <strong>connected to the Startale ecosystem</strong>.</p><blockquote><p>🔹 <strong>Important note:</strong> This initiative related to the Burndrop does <strong>not</strong> concern tokens issued by Startale or the Astar Foundation, nor tokens from Soneium dApps. The Startale ecosystem consists of a variety of blockchains to which Startale contributes, currently including Astar and Soneium. Other initiatives can be found on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://startale.com/en/blog">Startale blog</a>.</p></blockquote><p>The goal is to <strong>reduce the circulating supply of $ASTR</strong>, creating greater <strong>scarcity</strong> and, consequently, <strong>strengthening its long-term value</strong>.</p><p>🔗 <strong>In summary:</strong></p><ul><li><p>It is <strong>not</strong> a mandatory token swap.</p></li><li><p>$ASTR remains the main token and will not be replaced.</p></li><li><p>Non-participants lose nothing.</p></li><li><p>Participants will receive new token(s) linked to a different ecosystem.</p></li></ul><hr><h2 id="h-the-philosophy-behind-it" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💡 The Philosophy Behind It</h2><p>If the <strong>Lockdrop</strong> rewarded <strong>loyalty over time</strong>, the <strong>Burndrop</strong> rewards <strong>conviction</strong>. It’s a way to give the community the opportunity to act with confidence and take part in a new chapter of Startale and Astar’s shared vision.</p><blockquote><p>“The Burndrop is an invitation, not an obligation. It’s a signal of trust and supply discipline.”</p></blockquote><hr><h2 id="h-what-we-know-so-far" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔹 What We Know So Far</h2><p>The Foundation has not yet finalized dates, parameters, or thresholds. However, some <strong>guidelines</strong> have already been shared in the forum:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Voluntary and irreversible event</strong>: no obligations or forced conversions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Fairness for all holders</strong>: mechanisms are being explored to ensure balanced participation (limits, tiers, or multiple rounds).</p></li><li><p><strong>Common goal</strong>: reduce supply, strengthen $ASTR, and maintain a base of “diamond hands.”</p></li></ul><hr><h2 id="h-foundation-qanda" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💬 Foundation Q&amp;A</h2><h3 id="h-is-it-a-swap-or-a-rebrand-of-dollarastr" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Is it a swap or a rebrand of $ASTR?</h3><p>No. $ASTR remains the main token of the Astar Network and continues to serve all its Layer 1 functions. The Burndrop simply offers an additional, optional opportunity to obtain new token(s) tied to a different Startale ecosystem project.</p><hr><h3 id="h-what-happens-if-i-dont-participate" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">What happens if I don’t participate?</h3><p>Nothing changes. Those who choose not to burn their $ASTR retain all its usual functions and utilities (staking, governance, onchain usage). The only difference is that, as the overall supply decreases, <strong>each $ASTR becomes scarcer</strong>.</p><hr><h3 id="h-how-will-fairness-and-transparency-be-ensured" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">How will fairness and transparency be ensured?</h3><p>The Foundation is considering several mechanisms:</p><ul><li><p>participation limits to avoid concentration,</p></li><li><p>multiple rounds to broaden access,</p></li><li><p>public onchain dashboards for transparency,</p></li><li><p>potential “test events” before the official launch.</p></li></ul><p>All details will be presented after a review phase based on community feedback.</p><hr><h3 id="h-when-will-the-final-details-be-shared" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">When will the final details be shared?</h3><p>Before any action, the Foundation will publish a complete description of the tokens with guided links to tokenomics, eligibility rules, timelines, and the technical process. No burn operation will begin until everyone has full clarity and enough time to make an informed decision.</p><hr><h2 id="h-a-reflection-from-the-foundation" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">💭 A Reflection from the Foundation</h2><blockquote><p>“Since we will receive many tokens from a new project, we plan to allocate them to the Burndrop to give weakhands an exit opportunity, while simultaneously reducing supply and maintaining a solid base of Diamondhands. This will allow us to continue Phase 2 on stronger and more motivated foundations.”</p></blockquote><hr><h2 id="h-conclusion" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">🔥 Conclusion</h2><p>The Burndrop represents one of the most ambitious ideas ever proposed by Astar — a combination of <strong>supply reduction</strong>, <strong>new opportunities for holders</strong>, and <strong>renewed long-term trust</strong> in the network’s vision.</p><p>It is not yet a final decision, but rather a <strong>call to the community</strong> to help shape the design of the Burndrop.</p><p>The real decision will come once the full picture becomes clear: on one side, the <strong>tokenomics</strong>, <strong>utility</strong>, and which <strong>ecosystem</strong> the new token(s) obtained by burning $ASTR will belong to; and on the other side, the <strong>direction of Astar in Phase 2</strong>, which seems to be the most important update ever made in the history of Astar Network.</p><hr><p><strong>📢 The discussion is still open:</strong> Anyone can share feedback in the official Astar Network forum thread 👉 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://forum.astar.network/t/request-for-comments-astar-evolution-phase-2/9045/28">https://forum.astar.network/t/request-for-comments-astar-evolution-phase-2/9045/28</a> Every opinion will help shape the future of this proposal — and the future of $ASTR itself.</p><hr><p><strong>🧭 Stay informed</strong> Follow the official X accounts for direct updates:</p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/AstarNetwork">@AstarNetwork</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/StartaleGroup">@StartaleGroup</a></p></li></ul>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 id="h-1-introduzione" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>1. INTRODUZIONE</strong></h2><p>1.1. <strong>ARCHITETTURA DI ASTAR NETWORK</strong></p><p>Astar è una piattaforma di smart contract multichain costruita sull’ecosistema Polkadot. Ha lanciato con successo il mainnet nel dicembre 2021 dopo essersi classificata terza nell’asta degli slot parachain di Polkadot. Sfruttando il framework Substrate, Astar eredita la sicurezza condivisa della Polkadot Relay Chain offrendo al contempo elevata capacità di throughput e interoperabilità, abilita un ambiente di sviluppo flessibile ed efficiente sia per le imprese sia per i builder. Attualmente la rete supporta ambienti sia EVM sia WASM, affermandosi come un’infrastruttura multi-VM con ampia compatibilità di linguaggi e strumenti.</p><p>Nel marzo 2024, Astar ha elevato la propria roadmap tecnica lanciando Astar zkEVM, una soluzione Layer-2 su Ethereum che raggiunge non solo la compatibilità EVM ma la piena equivalenza EVM. Questa pietra miliare ha ampliato in modo significativo la portata di Astar all’interno dell’ecosistema Ethereum. Sulla scia di questo slancio, nell’agosto 2024 Astar ha annunciato un importante cambio strategico trasformando Astar zkEVM in “Soneium”, un’iniziativa blockchain guidata da Sony, partner strategico di lunga data di Astar e uno dei conglomerati più importanti del Giappone. Soneium, una L2 di Ethereum costruita sull’Optimism OP Stack, è gestita da Sony Blockchain Solutions Labs (SBSL), una joint venture tra Sony Group e Startale Labs.</p><p>Attraverso questa trasformazione, Astar ha mantenuto la propria identità di parachain su Polkadot stabilendo al contempo un ecosistema multilayer che abbraccia Polkadot, Ethereum e Soneium. Questa transizione rappresenta più di una semplice espansione tecnica: segna un passo cruciale verso la sostenibilità a lungo termine sia di Astar sia di Soneium, gettando le basi per un ecosistema Astar più ampio e interconnesso sotto ciò che è ora noto come “Astar Evolution Phase 1”.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/5bfc01a8a3bf34df167e193c13aa3da448e3e87d3536d7a7df917eeceb131cbd.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>In un ecosistema multichain come Astar, un’interoperabilità senza attriti tra le reti è di importanza fondamentale. Astar ha garantito questa capacità collaborando con protocolli di interoperabilità affermati e riconosciuti dall’industria come il Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) di Chainlink e LayerZero. Attraverso queste integrazioni, Astar assicura un’interoperabilità robusta su decine di reti, inclusa Ethereum Layer 1 e varie soluzioni Layer 2.</p><p>1.2. <strong>INVESTITORI E PARTNER STRATEGICI</strong></p><p>Nel dicembre 2021, Astar ha lanciato con successo il proprio mainnet completando una campagna di crowdloan guidata dalla community come parte dell’asta delle parachain di Polkadot. La campagna ha attirato oltre 27.000 partecipanti e raccolto più di 9,47 milioni di DOT (circa 380 milioni di dollari all’epoca), stabilendo una solida base di supporto iniziale dalla community.</p><p>All’inizio di quell’anno, nel febbraio 2021, Astar ha raccolto 2,4 milioni di dollari in un round Series A da Binance Labs (ora YZi Labs) e HashKey Capital, seguiti da ulteriori 10 milioni da investitori tra cui Fenbushi Capital e Hypersphere Ventures.</p><p>Nel gennaio 2022, Astar ha proseguito la propria traiettoria di crescita raccogliendo 22 milioni di dollari in un round strategico sostenuto da investitori di primo piano come Polychain Capital, GSR e Alameda Research. Più recentemente, Astar ha ottenuto sia una partnership strategica sia un investimento da Animoca Brands, un attore di spicco nel settore del gaming su blockchain.</p><p>Oltre a garantire capitali da investitori globali di primo piano, il posizionamento strategico di Astar in Giappone è diventato uno dei suoi vantaggi competitivi più distintivi. Guidata dal fondatore Sota Watanabe, la Astar Foundation ha collaborato attivamente con il governo giapponese e con grandi aziende, consolidando il suo status di progetto blockchain di punta del Giappone. In particolare, nel 2022 Astar ha firmato una partnership con la città di Fukuoka per fornire formazione Web3 e supporto tecnico esplorando congiuntamente casi d’uso della blockchain nel settore pubblico, contribuendo così allo sviluppo dell’industria Web3 guidata dal governo in Giappone. Inoltre, Astar ha stretto alleanze con grandi aziende giapponesi come Microsoft Japan, SoftBank e NTT Docomo per coltivare un robusto ecosistema Web3 domestico.</p><p>Tra queste partnership, la collaborazione di Astar con Sony spicca come una pietra miliare particolarmente significativa. Nel giugno 2023, Sony Network Communications, una controllata del Sony Group, ha effettuato un investimento strategico di circa 3,5 milioni di dollari in Startale Labs, la società di sviluppo guidata da Watanabe. Questo investimento ha portato alla creazione di Sony Blockchain Solutions Labs (SBSL), una joint venture con sede a Singapore. Sony ha contribuito al 90% del capitale di SBSL, segnando il suo ingresso ufficiale nell’industria Web3. Il risultato di questa collaborazione è Soneium, la rete Layer 2 su Ethereum menzionata in precedenza. Posizionata come porta d’accesso all’espansione Web3 del Giappone e come livello vitale all’interno dell’ecosistema Astar, Soneium adotta il token nativo di Astar, $ASTR, come asset centrale—ampliandone i casi d’uso e rafforzandone l’utilità all’interno di un framework multilayer sostenibile.</p><p>1.3. <strong>TOKENOMICS DI $ASTR</strong></p><p>Il token nativo di Astar, $ASTR, funge da asset fondamentale dell’ecosistema Astar. È utilizzato per le commissioni di transazione, le ricompense di staking, gli incentivi ai builder, le operazioni del tesoro e il finanziamento della community. L’offerta totale iniziale di $ASTR è stata fissata a 7 miliardi di token, con la seguente distribuzione:</p><ul><li><p>Utenti e primi sostenitori: 30%</p></li><li><p>Partecipanti all’asta delle parachain: 20%</p></li><li><p>Early backers: 10%</p></li><li><p>Foundation: 10%</p></li><li><p>Sviluppo del protocollo: 10%</p></li><li><p>Marketing, DAO, incentivi al team e riserva per l’asta delle parachain: 5% ciascuno</p></li></ul><p>Dopo il lancio, Astar ha affrontato una persistente pressione inflazionistica dovuta ad alti reward per blocco, pari a 253,08 $ASTR per blocco. Con blocchi prodotti ogni 12 secondi, ciò si traduceva in un tasso di inflazione annuo di circa 9.5%–10%. Di conseguenza, entro giugno 2025, l’offerta totale di $ASTR era aumentata di oltre 1,4 miliardi di token rispetto all’emissione iniziale, raggiungendo 8,43 miliardi.</p><p>Tuttavia, la sfida andava oltre la mera espansione dell’offerta. In assenza di un’utilità sufficiente per il token nativo e di meccanismi per compensare la pressione di vendita strutturale, il valore di mercato di $ASTR ha continuato a diminuire. Inoltre, la mancanza di ricompense significative per utenti e sviluppatori ha messo in luce limitazioni nell’engagement dell’ecosistema e nella sua sostenibilità.</p><p>Riconoscendo questo problema, il team di Astar ha introdotto nell’agosto 2023 le “Tokenomics 2.0”, finalizzate ad alleviare la pressione inflazionistica e a sostenere la crescita a lungo termine dell’ecosistema. Al centro di questo aggiornamento c’era il passaggio da reward fissi per blocco a un modello di inflazione dinamica, in cui l’emissione delle ricompense sarebbe stata determinata in base a fattori come il rapporto di staking della rete e i livelli complessivi di partecipazione.</p><p>Sebbene questa struttura di reward dinamici sia riuscita a ridurre il tasso di inflazione annuo da 9.5% a 4.86%, alla fine ha rivelato alcune limitazioni. L’elevata quota di ricompense fisse allocate agli staker di $ASTR (BaseStakersPart: 25%) e la porzione relativamente bassa di ricompense variabili (AdjustableStakersPart: 10%) hanno portato ad APR instabili per il dApp staking e a una continua crescita dell’inflazione complessiva.</p><p>In risposta, nell’aprile 2025 il team di Astar ha avviato una revisione strutturale delle proprie tokenomics con l’obiettivo di affrontare alla radice sia l’eccessiva inflazione sia l’instabilità delle ricompense di rete. Questo articolo esamina i recenti cambiamenti alle tokenomics di $ASTR progettati per migliorare la sostenibilità a lungo termine e analizza come queste riforme si allineino alla più ampia direzione strategica di Astar.</p><h2 id="h-2-una-roadmap-dalla-sostenibilita-per-la-sostenibilita" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">2. <strong><em>UNA ROADMAP DALLA SOSTENIBILITà, PER LA SOSTENIBILITà</em></strong></h2><p>Fin dal primo giorno, Astar è rimasta impegnata a fornire incentivi sostenibili sia per gli utenti early che per i contributori di lungo periodo. Più recentemente, in risposta alle limitazioni del modello di inflazione dinamica introdotto in precedenza, Astar ha avviato una profonda revisione delle proprie tokenomics per migliorare la vitalità a lungo termine di $ASTR e rivitalizzare gli ecosistemi Astar e Soneium.</p><p>Questa revisione ruota attorno a tre pilastri principali: 1. Ristrutturazione del meccanismo di ricompensa per blocco, 2. Transizione a un’offerta di token fissa, e 3. Istituzione dell’Astar Finance Committee (AFC).</p><p>2.1. <strong>RISTRUTTURAZIONE DEL MECCANISMO DI RICOMPENSA PER BLOCCO</strong></p><p>Come menzionato in precedenza, sebbene l’introduzione di tokenomics dinamiche abbia ridotto in una certa misura l’inflazione annua, lo squilibrio tra ricompense fisse elevate e ricompense dinamiche ridotte ha continuato a limitare l’efficienza e la sostenibilità degli incentivi di rete. In risposta, il 18 aprile Astar ha proposto un nuovo framework di tokenomics incentrato sulla riduzione delle inefficienze nella struttura di reward esistente e sul miglioramento dell’allineamento degli incentivi con l’effettivo utilizzo della rete. La proposta è stata approvata dalla governance con un tasso di approvazione del 65.1%.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/474aee5fb84eb2d69c94c45fcc868211774e943bdd8cb133162a8b4ef7149db3.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>L’obiettivo principale di questo aggiornamento è alleviare la pressione inflazionistica e aumentare gli incentivi alla partecipazione alla rete perfezionando i parametri della struttura delle ricompense di staking. I cambiamenti principali possono essere riassunti in tre punti chiave:</p><p>Riduzione delle ricompense fisse</p><p>La BaseStakersPart si riferisce alla porzione fissa di ricompense assegnate agli staker di $ASTR a ogni blocco. In precedenza impostata al 25%, questa alta quota fissa portava spesso a un aumento eccessivo dell’APR quando la partecipazione allo staking era bassa, ponendo un rischio alla stabilità della rete. Nel nuovo framework, questo parametro è stato significativamente ridotto al 10%. Il cambiamento mira a incoraggiare aspettative più realistiche sui rendimenti dello staking, a ridurre la pressione di vendita a breve termine su $ASTR e a promuovere una partecipazione più sostenibile. Sebbene questa riduzione possa inizialmente apparire sfavorevole per gli staker, è ampiamente vista come un aggiustamento necessario per garantire la sostenibilità a lungo termine dei rendimenti di staking.</p><p>Aumento delle ricompense dinamiche</p><p>L’AdjustableStakersPart—la porzione variabile di ricompense determinata dalla partecipazione complessiva allo staking, dalla TVL e dall’attività di rete—funge da meccanismo chiave per stimolare il coinvolgimento degli utenti. In precedenza limitata intorno al 40%, ora è stata aumentata al 55%, creando un divario sostanziale di 45 punti percentuali tra ricompense dinamiche e fisse.</p><p>Questo aggiustamento rafforza la correlazione tra coinvolgimento degli utenti e ricompense di staking, pur essendo progettato con attenzione per non incidere sulle allocazioni di ricompense per altri partecipanti alla rete come i collator, il tesoro o i builder. Di conseguenza, la struttura rivista mira a ottimizzare la distribuzione complessiva dell’emissione di $ASTR in modo da promuovere la partecipazione degli utenti senza compromettere gli incentivi dei builder.</p><p>Introduzione di un floor di inflazione</p><p>È stato introdotto un nuovo floor minimo di inflazione del 2.5% per evitare che l’attività di rete diminuisca troppo bruscamente in caso di inflazione anormalmente bassa. Questa salvaguardia garantisce un livello minimo di ricompense per gli utenti e opera in parallelo con il meccanismo di burn delle commissioni di transazione esistente. Insieme, queste caratteristiche consentono aggiustamenti dinamici dell’inflazione in linea con l’attività di rete, assicurando un’economia del token più reattiva ed equilibrata.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/61291debec4e1090fa8d30d76dbbe3810f9e1be8c39e58a9c4bd175219ee47b4.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>La distribuzione aggiornata delle ricompense per blocco secondo il nuovo framework segue la struttura delineata sopra. Come in precedenza, gli staker di Astar continuano a ricevere fino al 78.8% dei token di nuova emissione, mentre le allocazioni di ricompense per collator, tesoro e builder rimangono invariate.</p><p>2.2. <strong>TRANSIZIONE AD UN MODELLO DI OFFERTA FISSA</strong></p><p>A seguito della ristrutturazione del meccanismo di ricompense per blocco, Astar ha introdotto a maggio una revisione fondamentale delle tokenomics—Tokenomics 3.0—con l’obiettivo di abilitare una crescita sostenibile dell’ecosistema. Questa decisione è stata guidata da tre fattori chiave: l’aumento dell’interesse istituzionale verso progetti con stabilità di valore nel lungo termine, la necessità di un nuovo modello economico dopo la transizione di Polkadot ad Agile Coretime e il desiderio di ridurre la dipendenza da incentivi basati sull’inflazione man mano che l’ecosistema matura.</p><p>Come per la ristrutturazione delle ricompense per blocco, l’obiettivo finale di Tokenomics 3.0 è garantire la crescita sostenibile di $ASTR e dell’ecosistema Astar costruendo un modello economico autosostenibile. Le tre componenti principali di questo upgrade sono l’introduzione di un modello di offerta fissa, l’implementazione di un meccanismo di decrescita graduale delle emissioni e il mantenimento di APR stabili.</p><p>Introduzione di un modello di offerta fissa</p><p>Astar intende abbandonare l’attuale modello di inflazione dinamica a favore di una struttura di offerta fissa con un tetto massimo all’emissione di token. Assumendo un rapporto di staking ideale del 50%, l’offerta totale dovrebbe convergere intorno a circa 10,5 miliardi di $ASTR, sulla base del meccanismo di decrescita delle emissioni previsto.</p><p>Questa transizione poggia su un focus strategico volto a migliorare la scarsità del token e a stabilizzarne il valore. Nell’attuale contesto competitivo—dove molti progetti faticano a sopravvivere a causa di un’eccessiva inflazione e diluizione del token—un’offerta fissa per $ASTR potrebbe contribuire a costruire la fiducia degli investitori e ad estendere la longevità dell’ecosistema.</p><p>Istituzione di un meccanismo di decrescita graduale delle emissioni</p><p>Tokenomics 3.0 introduce una struttura di decrescita delle emissioni, per cui la quantità di $ASTR emessa per blocco diminuisce gradualmente nel tempo. Mentre il rapporto di staking ideale del 50% funge da baseline per il calcolo delle ricompense per blocco e dell’emissione totale, i livelli effettivi di emissione saranno aggiustati dinamicamente in base alla partecipazione allo staking in tempo reale.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4cfd53148a40826a2731933a7236f023035a01407b85dbf8283a5f2511889dd8.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>En = emissione di $ASTR al n-esimo blocco</p><p>E₀ = emissione iniziale di $ASTR basata su un rapporto di staking del 50%, fissata a 136,67 $ASTR</p><p>r = tasso di decrescita dell’emissione per blocco, fissato a 0.000008%</p><p>In questo modello, le emissioni di $ASTR diminuiscono dello 0.000008% a ogni nuovo blocco prodotto. In tale struttura, le emissioni dovrebbero scendere a circa l’81% di E₀ dopo un anno e al 65% dopo due anni. In definitiva, l’emissione per blocco di $ASTR si avvicinerà asintoticamente allo zero, con le emissioni cumulative totali che convergeranno a circa 1,7 miliardi di token.</p><p>Assumendo che le Tokenomics 3.0 vengano implementate a settembre 2026, l’offerta totale prevista di $ASTR è calcolata come segue:</p><p>Current supply: 8.4 billion</p><p>Additional emissions until September 2026: ~400 million</p><p>Long-term emissions based on the decay model: ~1.7 billionThis results in a total capped supply of approximately 10.5 billion $ASTR.</p><p>Il meccanismo di decrescita esponenziale è progettato per ridurre gradualmente la pressione inflazionistica senza causare un calo improvviso dell’attività di rete dovuto a tagli netti delle ricompense. In tal senso, dovrebbe contribuire a trovare un equilibrio tra l’incentivazione della crescita dell’ecosistema e il mantenimento del valore del token nel lungo periodo.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/a2d286df867a2ac6e2d59b0a5462eec4a22e9797cae7e2061cc11415a0ae8a2b.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p><strong>Mantenimento di APR stabili</strong></p><p>Come discusso nella Sezione 2.1, la rete Astar ha a lungo affrontato una sfida per cui una bassa partecipazione allo staking comportava APR eccessivamente elevati. Per affrontare questo problema, Tokenomics 3.0 propone una struttura di APR target più concreta e stabile. Assumendo un rapporto di staking del 50%, l’APR attuale di circa il 17% dovrebbe diminuire gradualmente al 13.8% dopo un anno e all’11% dopo due anni. Sebbene queste cifre nominali indichino rendimenti inferiori—potenzialmente dando l’impressione di incentivi ridotti per builder e staker—se il valore di $ASTR si stabilizzasse come previsto sotto le tokenomics riviste, il valore reale delle ricompense potrebbe aumentare in termini reali.</p><p>In linea con l’obiettivo generale di crescita sostenibile, Astar prevede anche di introdurre un meccanismo di burn delle commissioni di rete. In questo sistema, il 50% delle commissioni di transazione verrà bruciato per ridurre l’offerta circolante, il 30% sarà destinato ai collator e il restante 20% sarà reinvestito nello sviluppo dell’ecosistema.</p><p>Il sentiment della community intorno a Tokenomics 3.0 è stato in gran parte positivo. L’introduzione di un modello di offerta fissa e le misure per alleggerire l’inflazione sono viste come passi significativi per proteggere il valore di $ASTR e garantire la crescita sostenibile dell’ecosistema.</p><p>Tuttavia, sono state sollevate anche delle preoccupazioni. Una questione chiave è che ricompense di dApp staking più basse potrebbero indebolire gli incentivi per sviluppatori e partecipanti, riducendo potenzialmente l’utilità di $ASTR alla sola partecipazione alla governance, il che potrebbe innescare l’abbandono da parte degli utenti e compromettere la fattibilità del progetto. Sebbene vi sia un consenso generale sull’importanza di ridurre l’inflazione, i critici sostengono che ciò da solo non sia sufficiente. Essi enfatizzano la necessità di stabilire casi d’uso più concreti e scalabili per stimolare la domanda di $ASTR. Concordo con queste preoccupazioni sollevate dalla community: espandere l’utilità pratica di $ASTR è essenziale, e questo dovrebbe essere un tema di discussione continuo ben prima che le Tokenomics 3.0 entrino in vigore.</p><p>2.3. <strong>AFC: IL CERVELLO DIETRO LA SOSTENIBILITà</strong></p><p>L’Astar Finance Committee (AFC) è un organismo di nuova istituzione incaricato della gestione strategica del Tesoro della Astar DAO. Lanciato ufficialmente in aprile, gli obiettivi principali dell’AFC includono la generazione di flussi di entrate sostenibili, l’accelerazione della crescita dell’ecosistema Astar e la creazione di un modello di ritorno di valore a lungo termine per $ASTR.</p><p>Dopo aver superato il voto della community e una revisione da parte della Astar Foundation, l’AFC ha finalizzato la propria composizione l’8 maggio, selezionando cinque membri del comitato e un osservatore come annunciato qui. Il comitato include contributor chiave che hanno a lungo supportato l’ecosistema Astar, come l’Head of DeFi di Soneium e importanti contributor dell’ecosistema Astar. L’AFC si riunisce settimanalmente o bisettimanalmente ed è impegnato a mantenere la trasparenza attraverso report di avanzamento mensili e report trimestrali completi che illustrano le sue performance, i piani e le operazioni del tesoro.</p><p>Uno dei mandati principali dell’AFC è quello di stabilire un circuito di feedback autosostenibile assicurandosi in modo indipendente gli slot di coretime su Polkadot—senza fare affidamento su futuri crowdloan—attraverso la Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL). Questo obiettivo, menzionato anche nel framework di Tokenomics 3.0, è vitale per rafforzare l’indipendenza finanziaria e la sicurezza autonoma di Astar, ed è quindi una pietra miliare essenziale per la sostenibilità a lungo termine della rete.</p><p>Per implementare la propria strategia POL, l’AFC perseguirà le seguenti azioni:</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/ec1be7979c528cc06ec6e0c9bb6f803243a047307932bcaa174171f7722bcf4a.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Inoltre, sono in corso discussioni sull’utilizzo dei ricavi generati dalle operazioni POL per riacquistare e bruciare $ASTR, nonché per diversificare il portafoglio del tesoro con asset come $BTC e $ETH. Pertanto, le iniziative dell’AFC saranno un’area critica da osservare per valutare la sostenibilità a lungo termine dell’ecosistema Astar.</p><h2 id="h-3-dollarastr-evoluzione-in-un-asset-multi-layer" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">3. $ASTR: evoluzione in un asset multi-layer</h2><p>Il token nativo di Astar, $ASTR, sta evolvendo oltre i confini di una singola rete per diventare un asset multi-layer con un’utilità diversificata attraverso molteplici ecosistemi. In particolare, la sua integrazione con Soneium—una Layer 2 di Ethereum strettamente allineata con Astar—ha posizionato $ASTR anche come asset centrale all’interno dell’ecosistema Soneium.</p><p>3.1. <strong>UN ABILITATORE CHIAVE DELLA SICUREZZA MULTI-LAYER</strong></p><p>In aprile, Astar ha lanciato il Fast Finality (FF) Layer in collaborazione con attori di primo piano nell’ecosistema del restaking su Ethereum—AltLayer ed EigenLayer. Il FF Layer funziona come un Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS) costruito sul framework di restaking di EigenLayer. Esso fornisce una verifica decentralizzata delle transizioni di stato dei rollup e abilita una finalità quasi istantanea—entro 10 secondi—per le transazioni che avvengono su Soneium.</p><p>Questo rappresenta un aggiornamento fondamentale per Soneium, basato su OP Stack, che tradizionalmente comportava un ritardo di circa 15 minuti nella finalità delle transazioni a causa del meccanismo di fraud-proof. Eliminando questo collo di bottiglia, il FF Layer getta le basi per applicazioni decentralizzate sensibili alla latenza—tra cui gaming, DeFi e SocialFi—per operare in modo più efficiente e reattivo all’interno dell’ecosistema.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/80a1af8d50d7651678467aa60a85d4c246bf8ef6e91cb8f5cd7ece12233c2277.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Al centro della tecnologia del FF Layer si trova la rete MACH (Modular Actively Validated Checkpointing) di AltLayer. MACH è una soluzione progettata per validare gli stati dei rollup in tempo reale, garantendo la finalità entro 10 secondi e riducendo la dipendenza dai sequencer centralizzati. Questa architettura svolge un ruolo critico nell’abilitare operazioni decentralizzate e a bassa latenza su tutta la rete.</p><p>È degno di nota che la rete MACH sia integrata con il framework di restaking di EigenLayer, consentendo agli utenti di restakare una varietà di asset dell’ecosistema Ethereum—tra cui $ETH, $ASTR e $EIGEN—per ottenere rendimenti aggiuntivi. In cambio, Soneium beneficia di una sicurezza economica potenziata supportata da questi asset restakati, creando una solida base per una validazione trustless e una collaborazione cross-layer.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6e5e34333fdb89b8848d6bdd94d36b27d8b3d42a3142ec51deb073d398561b7c.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>3.2. <strong>CONDIVISIONE DELLE ENTRATE DI SONEIUM</strong></p><p>L’operatività del sequencer di Soneium—che elabora le transazioni sulla rete Layer 2—è gestita da SBSL, la joint venture tra Sony Group e Startale Labs. Il sequencer genera entrate raggruppando le transazioni della Layer 2 e inviando i risultati a Ethereum (Layer 1). Nel caso di Soneium, queste entrate sono condivise tra Sony Group e Startale.</p><p>In aprile, Startale ha annunciato che una parte delle entrate del sequencer sarebbe stata utilizzata per acquistare $ASTR sul mercato—e che questo processo era già in corso. Collegando i buyback di $ASTR direttamente alle entrate generate dall’attività reale degli utenti su Soneium, l’ecosistema stabilisce un circuito di ritorno del valore che redistribuisce i proventi a livello di protocollo all’interno della rete più ampia. Questo meccanismo rafforza il ruolo di $ASTR come principale beneficiario della crescita di Soneium, soprattutto in assenza di un token nativo per Soneium stessa.</p><p>In questo modo, mentre Astar contribuisce alla crescita dell’ecosistema Soneium attraverso iniziative come la campagna ACS e la sicurezza condivisa basata sullo staking di $ASTR, Soneium ricambia collegando le entrate del sequencer al supporto di valore per $ASTR. Insieme, ciò crea un ciclo di crescita sostenibile e reciprocamente rinforzante tra i due ecosistemi.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c4d4d7db814bbb36ce6129f7e642689f4406e2ca416a0da096267f818f9e9a75.jpg" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>3.3. <strong>ESPANDERSI OLTRE ASTAR NELL’ECOSISTEMA SONEIUM</strong></p><p>All’inizio del 2025, Astar ha lanciato la campagna ACS (Astar Contribution Score) per rafforzare la posizione e l’influenza di $ASTR all’interno dell’ecosistema Soneium e per contribuire a rivitalizzare l’ecosistema. Mirata ad ampliare l’utilità di $ASTR, aumentare il numero di holder di $ASTR, migliorare l’integrazione con Soneium e supportare la crescita dell’ecosistema modulare, la campagna ACS ha allocato un totale di 100 milioni di $ASTR in ricompense per incentivare la partecipazione di un’ampia gamma di attori dell’ecosistema.</p><p>Le ricompense in $ASTR sono state distribuite sulla base di un totale di 1 miliardo di punti ACS. Il modello di distribuzione dei punti ha assegnato il peso più alto ai contributi di TVL, incoraggiando efficacemente gli utenti a fornire liquidità e a impegnarsi attivamente nell’ecosistema. Dal 20 febbraio al 30 maggio 2025, la campagna ACS ha generato una crescita significativa su molteplici indicatori all’interno dell’ecosistema Soneium:</p><ul><li><p>Crescita TVL di 5.5x: Secondo DefiLlama, il total value locked (TVL) di Soneium è passato da 35,57 milioni di dollari il 20 febbraio a 194,59 milioni di dollari al 30 maggio—una crescita di 5.5x. In particolare, Kyo Finance, un protocollo DeFi leader su Soneium, ha visto il proprio TVL salire da 6,35 milioni a 48,18 milioni nello stesso periodo, segnando una crescita superiore a 7x.</p></li><li><p>Partecipazione degli utenti ampliata: Durante la campagna ACS, il numero di indirizzi wallet unici sulla rete Soneium ha raggiunto 3,57 milioni e il conteggio totale delle transazioni ha superato 1,47 milioni.</p></li><li><p>Rafforzamento dell’influenza di $ASTR: Circa 675 milioni di $ASTR—inclusi LST—sono stati depositati nell’ecosistema Soneium durante il periodo ACS, rafforzando il ruolo di $ASTR come asset centrale. Un fattore chiave di questo risultato è stata l’applicazione di un moltiplicatore 2x sui punti ACS per i depositi di $ASTR, che ha incentivato in modo significativo il suo utilizzo all’interno dell’ecosistema.</p></li></ul><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/a96e827e317586073488a71a9fa949f4a6478be8e9ccd62c9203d9ae0a35d341.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Attraverso la campagna ACS, $ASTR ha ampliato la propria utilità e base utenti, affermandosi come asset di liquidità chiave e riserva di valore sia su Astar Network sia sull’ecosistema Layer 2 di Soneium. Con un’integrazione e un coinvolgimento degli utenti rafforzati, $ASTR è ora posizionato come token nativo con scalabilità e concretezza come asset multi-layer. Guardando avanti, il volano di valore tra Astar e Soneium—centrato su $ASTR—è destinato ad accelerare ulteriormente.</p><p>3.4. <strong>OLTRE SONEIUM: VERSO L’ECOSISTEMA SUPERCHAIN</strong></p><p>La strategia di espansione multilayer di Astar si sta ora estendendo oltre Soneium per comprendere il più ampio ecosistema Optimism Superchain. La Superchain si riferisce a un collettivo di reti Layer 2 su Ethereum—come Base, Mode e Zora—che operano sotto una struttura unificata attraverso l’adozione standardizzata dell’Optimism OP Stack.</p><p>Come parte della sua Evolution Initiative, a giugno Astar ha distribuito un nuovo smart contract di $ASTR che supporta sia il Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) di Chainlink sia lo standard di token della Optimism Superchain, ERC-7802. Questo ha ridefinito $ASTR come asset cross-chain ottimizzato per l’ecosistema Superchain. Con il supporto del Chainlink CCIP, $ASTR può ora spostarsi senza attriti tra Astar e Soneium tramite un ponte burn-and-mint sicuro.</p><p>Inoltre, implementando lo standard ERC-7802, Astar abilita l’uso di $ASTR in modo libero su più reti della Superchain senza wrapping. Questo standard supporta le funzioni crosschainMint e crosschainBurn, consentendo a $ASTR di operare con un indirizzo e una logica coerenti su varie chain. Di conseguenza, $ASTR può ora servire un’ampia gamma di applicazioni decentralizzate—tra cui DeFi, gaming, pagamenti e SocialFi—su reti Layer 2 basate su OP Stack come Base, Zora e Mode.</p><p>Attraverso questa strategia, $ASTR sta evolvendo da token di governance single-chain ad asset universale utilizzabile in tutto l’ecosistema Superchain. Questa trasformazione supporta direttamente la visione di Astar di un’adozione di massa del Web3 e posiziona $ASTR al centro della sua strategia di liquidity hub.</p><h2 id="h-4-conclusione" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">4. Conclusione</h2><p>Gli sviluppi recenti all’interno di Astar—inclusa la ristrutturazione delle ricompense per blocco, l’introduzione delle Tokenomics 3.0 e il lancio dell’Astar Finance Committee (AFC)—non sono mosse isolate mirate al prezzo nel breve termine. Rappresentano piuttosto una strategia coesa e di lungo periodo per garantire la sostenibilità sia di $ASTR sia dell’ecosistema Astar nel suo complesso.</p><p>La revisione delle ricompense per blocco affronta la riduzione dell’inflazione; il modello di offerta fissa e di decrescita delle emissioni introdotto nelle Tokenomics 3.0 mira a preservare il valore di $ASTR nel lungo periodo; e la formazione dell’AFC fornisce una base per l’autonomia finanziaria e la maturità operativa a livello di protocollo.</p><p>Inoltre, Astar è evoluta in una piattaforma multilayer che interagisce tra Ethereum, Polkadot e Soneium. Parallelamente, $ASTR si è trasformato da semplice token di governance ad asset multi-layer che svolge un ruolo centrale in sicurezza, liquidità e infrastruttura attraverso le applicazioni decentralizzate.</p><p>La domanda chiave ora è se questa base strutturale si tradurrà in una domanda significativa da parte degli utenti e in attività on-chain. La collaborazione strategica di Astar con Animoca Brands, insieme a potenziali integrazioni con importanti IP giapponesi e asiatiche, sarà determinante—non solo nel generare traffico, ma nel favorire un ecosistema vibrante e ricco di casi d’uso.</p><p>Rimane cruciale osservare da vicino come l’utilità pratica e la domanda organica verranno costruite sopra le tokenomics stabili e l’architettura modulare di Astar—e se $ASTR potrà in definitiva adempiere al proprio ruolo al centro di questa rete multilayer in evoluzione.</p><h3 id="h-account-x" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Account X:</h3><p>DeSpread: @DeSpreadTeam — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/DeSpreadTeam">https://x.com/DeSpreadTeam</a></p><p>Astar Network: @AstarNetwork — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/AstarNetwork">https://x.com/AstarNetwork</a></p><p>Soneium: @soneium — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/soneium">https://x.com/soneium</a></p><p>Startale: @StartaleGroup — <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://x.com/StartaleGroup">https://x.com/StartaleGroup</a></p><div data-type="subscribeButton" class="center-contents"><a class="email-subscribe-button" href="null">Subscribe</a></div>]]></content:encoded>
