Astar Network announces its Phase 2 roadmap, focusing on tokenomics, interoperability, and community engagement to enhance scarcity and utility.
Astar Network has revealed its Phase 2 roadmap, marking a significant step forward in its development with a focus on enhancing tokenomics, interoperability, and community engagement. This phase aims to solidify Astar’s position as a scarce, utility-driven, and community-aligned network, according to astar.network.
Phase 2 Initiatives
The roadmap introduces the Burndrop Proof of Concept (PoC), a mechanism allowing ASTR holders to voluntarily burn their tokens in exchange for future benefits, showcasing a commitment to scarcity and community participation. The full Burndrop Event is slated for 2026, following the PoC demonstration in late 2025.
Another cornerstone of this phase is the implementation of Tokenomics 3.0, which introduces a fixed-supply model aimed at capping the ASTR supply at 10.5 billion. This transition to a predictable supply structure is designed to align with institutional interests, offering stability and reducing inflationary pressures. Governance approval is required for the final rollout, anticipated in early 2026.
Technological Enhancements
Astar Network also plans to enhance its technological infrastructure through the integration of the Startale App, which will serve as a comprehensive platform for ASTR management and ecosystem participation. This app will facilitate seamless interaction across Astar and Soneium networks, providing users with a unified wallet experience.
Interoperability improvements are set to expand ASTR’s reach within the Polkadot ecosystem. The integration of Plaza, an evolution of the Polkadot Asset Hub, will allow for cross-ecosystem asset flows, enhancing ASTR’s utility across decentralized applications (dApps).
Community Empowerment
The Astar Community Program, launching in late 2025, will further drive onchain participation and growth. Through the Astar Ambassador Fellowship and Governance Program, community members will engage in tasks that earn ASTR rewards and contribute to governance literacy, preparing them for leadership roles within the network’s decentralized framework.
Looking Ahead
The initiatives outlined in Astar’s roadmap are poised to lay the groundwork for a sustainable onchain economy, with a focus on proving value through scarcity and utility. As these foundations are established, Astar Network plans to release further details on Burndrop and other key developments, aligning its growth with both community and institutional needs.
The roadmap reflects Astar’s vision of evolving into a leaner and more independent entity, continuing to lead Japan’s web3 economy while bridging global markets. This phase is not just about belief in Astar’s potential but about proving it through tangible actions and milestones.
