Requirements

Are you a project owner and want to list your dApp in our staking mechanism to earn rewards? Please read these guidelines carefully. If you meet all the requirements, please reach out to us on Discord or Astar SpaceLabs so we can list your dApp.

Are you interested to join dApp staking on Shiden or Astar? Read carefully to see if you meet the requirements:

info

Astar is aiming to become a DAO in a couple of years. While moving towards becoming a DAO our dApp staking onboarding also includes passing our council. The dApp staking application process is as stated below:

Astar Network​

  • Your dApp is launched and live on Astar Network
  • Does your project contribute to Astar TVL, make sure you are listed on DefilLama.
  • List your project on DappRadar.
  • Your dApp has #astar-network, #dAppStaking tags at the GitHub repo.
  • You need to create a PR to the Ecosystem Page. As our website is open-source, you can contribute directly to it - just create a PR on your own! Here
  • If you wish to have your project listed on Astar website ecosystem page, fill in this FORM.
  • Create your proposal to join dApp staking on our forum by following this format.
  • After the proposal is created, we will get the community to discuss. You are expected to answer all the questions. This will take around 4-5 days.
  • The voting will be opened after the discussion period.
  • For now, only the forum members with Trust Level 2 and above are allowed to vote.
  • After the voting is passed, you are required to have a native substrate address with at least 1001 ASTR in it and a verified smart contract address of your dApp.
  • These addresses will be whitelisted and after that, you will be able to register the dApp on Astar Portal.

What about infrastructure partners?​

You don’t have any dApp but you are providing infrastructure services to the Astar ecosystem. You also can be added to dApp staking. How to join:

  • You already have a long-term partnership with Astar and a close relationship with some projects.
  • You have a proven record in our ecosystem.
  • You have docs about how to use your tools in our documentation and in yours. You can add instructions to our documentation by creating a PR on our Github.
  • Create a proposal on our forum and pass the council voting.
  • After the proposal is created, we will get the community to discuss. You are expected to answer all the questions. This will take around 4-5 days.
  • The voting will be opened after the discussion period.
  • For now, only the forum members with Trust Level 2 and above are allowed to vote.
  • After the voting is passed, you are required to have a native substrate address with at least 1001 ASTR in it and a simple Hello World verified smart contract address.
  • These addresses will be whitelisted and after that, you will be able to register your project on Astar Portal.

What about other projects who can't meet the above requirements?​

You can't add your project to DefilLama because it's not generating any TVL, also DappRadar is not an option because there is no use of smart contracts? These are the current steps to follow:

  • Be active in our community Discord channel and post your project updates in our dedicated #project discussion channel.
  • Create a proposal on our forum and pass the council voting.
  • After the proposal is created, we will get the community to discuss. You are expected to answer all the questions. This will take around 4-5 days.
  • The voting will be opened after the discussion period.
  • For now, only the forum members with Trust Level 2 and above are allowed to vote.
  • After the voting is passed, you are required to have a native substrate address with at least 1001 ASTR in it and a simple Hello World verified smart contract address.
  • These addresses will be whitelisted and after that, you will be able to register your project on Astar Portal.

Shiden Network​

  • Your dApp is launched and live on Shiden Network.
  • Does your project contribute to the growth of Shiden it would be great to list your project on DappRadar and or DefilLama. This is not a requirement but it would help grow the trust for your project with our community.
  • Infrastructure partners who are contributing to our ecosystem and need to cover their costs can apply to our dApp staking mechanism on Shiden.
