Astar Network Evolution Phase 2 Roadmap Announcement

Key Points:* Astar Network announces Evolution Phase 2 roadmap with governance changes.

• Launch planned by 2026; supply cap set at 10.5 billion ASTR.
• Integration with Startale apps expands Astar’s ecosystem utility. Astar Network has outlined its Evolution Phase 2 roadmap for 2026, introducing a Burndrop mechanism, Tokenomics 3.0, and governance changes for enhanced decentralization.

The innovative roadmap aims to bolster Astar’s ecosystem, highlighting a fixed supply model, governance decentralization, and potential impacts on the Polkadot and broader blockchain community.

Fixed Supply Model Set for 10.5 Billion ASTR

Astar Network’s latest announcement highlights the introduction of a Burndrop proof-of-concept mechanism. This allows users to burn tokens in exchange for future Startale ecosystem tokens, with implementation over the coming months. Founder Sota Watanabe emphasized the goal of establishing long-term sustainability. “The strategic pivot to ecosystem-driven growth expands beyond protocol-centric priorities, and ASTR matures into a multi-purpose token with broad adoption potential,” he stated.

Tokenomics 3.0 will introduce a fixed supply model with a cap of 10.5 billion ASTR, as detailed in the Proposal to Change ASTR Tokenomics. This change aims to increase scarcity and strengthen the token’s value. Governance is also set for transformation, gradually transferring foundation functions to the community.

Community reaction on Astar’s Governance Forum shows strong support for the planned decentralization and fixed supply model. The integration of Startale applications and Plaza into the Astar ecosystem aims to broaden use cases and expand utility.
