Astar Slashes Token Emissions by 97% with New Staking Model

Astar has restructured its tokenomics, replacing monthly ecosystem unlocks with a staking-only emission model that dramatically reduces token circulation. **Key Changes:** - Previous model: 78.4M $ASTER unlocked monthly (~1% of max supply) - New model: 450K $ASTER per week through staking rewards only - Monthly emissions reduced from 78.4M to approximately 1.8M-2.25M $ASTER - This represents a **97% reduction** in monthly token releases **Transparency Measures:** All ecosystem and community tokens unlocked since the Token Generation Event (September 17, 2025) have remained untouched beyond staking rewards. Token holdings can be verified at the public unlock address: [0x0A55c740703A11f42803fB1a05ca1F7F89981EA4](https://etherscan.io/address/0x0A55c740703A11f42803fB1a05ca1F7F89981EA4) This change follows previous community confusion about tokenomics updates on CoinMarketCap in November 2025. Full emission parameters and allocation details are available on Astar's [Tokenomics documentation](https://docs.asterdex.com/usdaster-token/tokenomics).
