The founder of Astar Network (ASTR), Sota Watanabe, announced that the project is preparing a critical step to ensure long-term sustainability. Watanabe stated that Astar plans to move away from its current inflation-based token model and transition to a fixed-supply structure.
This approach aims not only to preserve the value of ASTR but also to provide the ecosystem with a more predictable and stable economic framework. Watanabe emphasized that this transformation lies “at the heart of Astar’s long-term roadmap” and represents a strategic move to boost investor confidence.
Major Changes with Astar Evolution 2.0
As part of the Astar Evolution 2.0 process, scheduled to be announced in Q4 2025, Watanabe revealed that significant updates for the ASTR token are underway.
The update plans to end the current inflationary model and transition to a fixed-supply system. Watanabe described this change as Astar’s “ultimate game plan.”
Tokenomics 3.0 Voting Begins
The Astar community is being involved in the decision-making process for this major change. A “confidence vote” has been launched on the Opensquare platform and will run until September 28, 2025.
ASTR holders can choose among three options in the vote:
- Transition to a fixed-supply, emission-reducing model
- Keep the current inflation model
- Abstain
Key Proposed Changes
The draft proposal presented for voting includes the following updates to Astar Network’s token economy:
- Fixed maximum supply: approximately 10.5 billion ASTR
- Emission reduction: gradually decreasing staking rewards
- Fee distribution: 50% burn, 30% to validators, 20% to treasury
- Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL): protocol retains its own liquidity
These proposals aim to limit ASTR’s inflation-related value erosion and create a more sustainable token economy over the long term.
Community Input Will Be Crucial
Although the vote is non-binding, community feedback will be critically important for the Astar team. The final decision will be shaped through future governance steps.
With this move, Astar Network seeks to increase its competitiveness against Ethereum, Polkadot, and other multi-chain ecosystems, while creating a more attractive token model for investors.
