Astar Degens
Astar Degens is the first big DAO project on Astar. Their goal is to incubate promising projects and bring new ideas to the Astar Ecosystem, through the help of their community-governed DAO fund. Their upcoming NFT mint will be utilized to bootstrap their DAO treasury, with 70% of the funds going directly into the DAO wallet immediately upon minting. As a community without hierarchy, they are aiming to reward their DAO members by incentivizing active community engagement, and supportive cooperation within Astar and the wider Polkadot ecosystem. Whether you are an artist, creator, influencer, developer, passionate degen, or ape; all are welcomed, and all will be rewarded for their constructive contributions. The DAO ultimately hopes to be a conduit for bringing new ideas forward, and becoming a catalyst for helping to build a robust future for the interoperable block-chain space,
This project is supported by the core Astar team.

Astar Bots
The uniqueness of its art and the low mint price make a perfect combination of low barrier entry to start rolling the first collection of NFTs on this Blockchain. Utility? All AstarBots holders will participate in the DAO, where the future of the project will be determined along with getting rewarded. In addition, it is the first of their projects to introduce a deflationary system (“graveyard system”) that will be activated by default 48 hours after the minting is done. This system will sweep the floor a random number of times daily/weekly and burn them, causing the size of the collection to decrease over time. When will it stop? DAO will decide.

About Astar
Astar Network (previously known as Plasm) is a dApp hub on Polkadot that supports Ethereum, WebAssembly, and layer 2 solutions like ZK Rollups. Astar aims to be a multi-chain smart contract platform that will support multiple blockchains and virtual machines. Polkadot Relay Chain doesn’t support smart contracts. That’s why it’s important for the ecosystem to have a parachain that enables this for all developers who want to build in the Polkadot ecosystem. Astar is here to provide the best solution for all developers by supporting EVM and making a parachain where EVM and WASM smart contracts can co-exist and communicate with each other.
