Astar Network has introduced the Astar Contribution Score (ACS) campaign, a strategic initiative designed to expand the utility of its native token, ASTR, within the Soneium ecosystem. This program rewards active participants, fostering engagement across decentralized applications (dApps) and platforms.
Overview of the ACS Campaign
The 100-day ACS campaign commenced on February 20, 2025, and will conclude on May 30, 2025. It features a 100 million ASTR reward pool, distributed based on user contributions within the Soneium ecosystem. Key objectives include:
- Enhancing ASTR’s use cases in DeFi, consumer apps, and gaming.
- Building a sustainable economic model for the token.
How the ACS Mechanism Works
The campaign employs a score-based incentive system:
- Participants earn points by interacting with 30+ Soneium dApps.
- Points are converted into ASTR tokens, with daily allocations ensuring consistent engagement.

Strategic Goals and Long-Term Vision
The ACS campaign aligns with Astar’s broader mission to position ASTR as a cornerstone of the Soneium Superchain. Key impacts:

- Tokenomics Sustainability: Unclaimed rewards are burned, reducing supply and boosting ASTR’s value.
- Ecosystem Integration: Prepares for future Layer 2 expansions (e.g., Base, OP Mainnet).
Future Outlook
This initiative lays the groundwork for:
- New partnerships and UGC-driven innovations.
- Cross-chain functionalities, reinforcing Astar’s role in Superchain scalability.
