dApp Staking V3 Launch

First, what is dApp Staking?

It's Astar’s unique mechanism to financially incentivise developers.

Developers, stakers and users of dApps are rewarded.

And it grows Astar and its token value.

It's a win-win-win-win.

What is changing?

At its core, the mechanism remains the same. At the same time, it improves:

Scalable and fair rewards

Support for newly launched dApps

Rewards for active participation

Tier system for dApps

Astar ZkEVM Launch

What is it about? 

 @AstarzkEVM will be the FIRST mainnet L2 being built with the CDK tech stack (from @0xPolygon).

Hakuhodo and Japan Airlines have created the second iteration of “KOKYO NFTs” . The collection of NFTs unlocks 6 unique exclusive local experiences across Japan.

‘Yoki Origins’.

What is it?

There will be Astar Network’s original characters “Yokis” inspired by Japanese Yokais.

It will launch right after the ZkEVM mainnet launch.

More than 40 web3 projects, creators, and enterprises are preparing their own NFTs.

How does the campaign work?

1. Collect various NFTs from “Yo-Port”, a capsule toy machine.

2. Collect OMAs and evolve. Users also obtain “OMA” token that can used to hatch Yokis from the capsule. 3. Hatch & upgrade and score! Actions related to owning Yokis give points in the campaign.
