The Astar Portal has undergone a complete reconstruction. Users can now seamlessly manage both EVM and Native accounts from one unified interface, and the staking page has been entirely redesigned.

We invite you to share your thoughts through our active form, which is available for submitting feature requests, providing UX feedback, and reporting any bugs. You can access the feedback link here: https://48plu9nrgbf.typeform.com/portal-reports

Managing your transfers is now simpler than ever with the newly unified bridge page on the Astar Portal. Through a single convenient interface, you can simultaneously link both your Substrate and EVM wallets to easily move assets across Polkadot, various parachains, Ethereum, and @soneium. All routing operations are efficiently executed by @Chainlink CCIP and @Polkadot XCM. To ensure total transparency, the platform allows you to view the exact path of your transaction right before you make your final confirmation.

The accompanying chart illustrates exactly how various participation scenarios will impact overall token availability. Thanks to the implementation of Tokenomics 3.0, the growth rate of the ASTR supply is now effectively reduced. Depending on the level of participation, the anticipated total supply by the year 2029 is projected to land anywhere from ~9.2B to 9.75B. This represents a noticeable decrease when compared to the ~10.6B projection calculated under the previous economic model.

This week’s highlights: how community-led work is expanding access to Astar and turning understanding into participation.

Structured education, project coverage, and tutorials help reshape how users engage.

Here’s the rundown 🧵

March Edition of the Astar Community Call

You are welcome to re-stake your ASTR tokens today now that the upgraded model for dApp Staking on Astar Network is officially active. The system recently transitioned to a newly refined framework, bringing specific guidelines for both allocation and user participation.

Astar Network has officially launched Tokenomics 3.0, marking a positive step forward for the ecosystem. Thanks to this update, the supply of ASTR is now tracking along a trajectory of long-term convergence. Furthermore, the network has successfully activated emission decay and lowered the inflation ceiling, meaning that overall supply growth is firmly bounded from this point onward.

dApp Staking Cycle 006 has ended. Cycle 007 is now live and staking is open.

To continue earning rewards, stakers must restake in the new cycle. Positions from Cycle 006 do not carry over automatically.

If you restake now, no further action will be required next week. The upcoming Astar Portal update changes the interface only. Your onchain staking position will carry over to the new Portal automatically.
