Requirements to Join dApp Staking

Astar dApp Staking Program Qualification Criteria​

To qualify for the Astar dApp Staking program, your project must meet one or more of the following criteria:

1. Astar Native/EVM Projects​

Your project must be:

  • Live and deployed on Astar Network — either Astar Native (WASM) or Astar EVM.
  • Functioning with an accessible product.
  • Providing clear value to the Astar ecosystem, such as:
    • Integration of the ASTR token (utility, payments, staking, etc.)
    • Driving adoption through tools, use cases, community building, or innovative applications.

2. Infrastructure or Tooling Providers​

Projects offering essential infrastructure, tooling, wallets, or middleware — even without a public-facing dApp — are welcome.

Requirements:

  • Proven track record.
  • Active engagement with the Astar ecosystem.

3. External Blockchain Projects​

(e.g., Soneium, Ethereum, Polkadot, Other Parachains)

Projects not deployed directly on Astar but part of its broader ecosystem must:

  • Integrate the ASTR token in a meaningful way (payment method, in-app utility, or incentive mechanism).
  • Offer clear and measurable value to ASTR or Astar Collective.
  • Demonstrate efforts to promote visibility, usage, and adoption of ASTR through marketing, documentation, or user incentives.

4. Other Projects (Non-dApp / Non-Smart Contract Based)​

Projects that don’t use smart contracts or don’t fall into the above categories may still qualify if:

  • They bring measurable value to Astar and the ASTR token.
  • Actively engage with the Astar community (Forum, Discord, Telegram, X).
  • Introduce the project on the Astar Forum and participate in discussions.

Note: Community feedback plays a key role in evaluating eligibility.

Additional Expectations for External Projects​

Projects deployed outside the Astar Network must demonstrate:

  • A clear commitment to the ecosystem with regular updates (monthly/quarterly) on platform progress, ASTR utility, and contributions.
  • A published roadmap aligning with Astar’s long-term mission.
  • Measurable impact metrics or milestones.
  • Participation in ecosystem growth (content, marketing, onboarding, liquidity programs, cross-chain collaboration).

Examples of Meaningful ASTR Contributions​

  • Displaying ASTR on your dApp interface or documentation.
  • Using ASTR as a payment method, gas token, or in-app currency.
  • Incentive mechanisms using ASTR (discounts, staking bonuses, exclusive access).
  • Marketing/communications that promote ASTR or Astar Collective.
  • Liquidity pools or TVL involving ASTR (on Astar or bridged networks).
  • Direct/bridged integration with Astar or connected parachains (e.g., Polkadot, Soneium).
  • Community campaigns or content spotlighting ASTR or Astar Collective.

Technical & Ecosystem Checklist​

To strengthen your application, ensure you:

  • Are listed on DefiLlama (if contributing to TVL).
  • Are listed on DappRadar (if you have daily active users).
  • Have verified smart contracts on Astar Native, EVM, Soneium, Ethereum or Polkadot.
  • Tag your GitHub repo with #astar-network and #dAppStaking.
  • (For infrastructure/tools) Submit a PR to Astar Documentation to be listed.

Minimum discussion period: 5–7 days before proceeding to an onchain vote.

2. Pre-Vote Requirements​

Include in your forum post:

  • A verified smart contract on Astar Native (WASM) or Astar EVM.

3. Voting Options​
