TL;DR: The Astar Contribution Score (ACS) campaign is launching on Soneium to drive user adoption, incentivize onchain activity, and expand the utility of ASTR. Starting on February 20 and running until May 30, ACS will reward users for engaging with the ecosystem—whether through gaming, consumer apps, or liquidity provision. This initiative, led by the Astar Foundation, strengthens ASTR’s role within Soneium and lays the groundwork for its broader adoption across the Superchain. While Soneium supports this effort, the campaign is managed by Astar, with 100M ASTR allocated from Astar’s onchain treasury—an allocation that was reviewed, approved, and supported through Astar’s governance process and community vote—to fuel participation and support Soneium ecosystem growth.
Driving Engagement: How ACS is Activating the Soneium Ecosystem
The Soneium ecosystem is growing, and with it comes an opportunity to enhance engagement and utility across the network. As part of Astar’s transition into the Astar Collective, a broader initiative aimed at expanding its impact beyond a single network, ACS is launching exclusively on Soneium as the first expansion of the Collective into the Superchain ecosystem.
While this initiative is led by the Astar Foundation, Soneium supports it as it aligns with our goal to empower creators worldwide through web3 technology. ACS aims to strengthen the integration of ASTR within the Soneium ecosystem, driving activity across key use cases such as consumer applications, gaming, and web3 social experiences.
What is the Astar Contribution Score (ACS)?
ACS isn’t just about distributing incentives—it’s about encouraging long-term adoption and strategic alignment between Astar Collective and Soneium. Here’s how it contributes to our shared goal:
- Expanding the Astar Collective into Superchain: With Soneium as the first blockchain in the Superchain to integrate ASTR, ACS is a key step in positioning ASTR for cross-chain adoption.
- Strengthening ASTR’s Role in Soneium: By integrating ASTR into consumer applications, payments, and gaming experiences, ACS expands the token’s use cases and solidifies its role in Soneium’s growing economy.
- Driving Onchain Engagement: ACS encourages real, meaningful interactions with Soneium’s dApps, boosting transaction volume and network activity while fostering deeper engagement with web3 applications.
- Creating a Sustainable Economic Model: By rewarding active contributors and participants, ACS helps build a network effect, where sustained engagement leads to organic adoption and long-term ecosystem growth.
At the end of the campaign, these ACS points will be converted into ASTR, offering direct incentives for participation. This mechanism aims to establish a sustainable flywheel for adoption, reinforcing ASTR’s utility and role in Soneium’s web3 landscape.
Goal: Boost Soneium ecosystem growth, Drive sustained ASTR adoption and incentivize meaningful onchain activity.
By rewarding engagement, ACS seeks to bootstrap liquidity, attract new users, and establish ASTR as one of the core assets within Soneium. The campaign’s design ensures that both individual participants and dApps benefit, helping to cultivate an active and self-sustaining economy within the network.
How ACS Works: The Blueprint of the Campaign
ACS utilizes a score-based model to measure and reward contributions across the Soneium ecosystem. Here’s how it works:
- Users earn ACS points based on their interactions within Soneium, from gaming and consumer applications to liquidity provision.
- Liquidity providers receive multipliers on their contributions, with ASTR-based liquidity enjoying the highest multiplier to reinforce its role as the ecosystem’s primary asset.
- Gaming and consumer application users accumulate points based on their engagement, driving real utility across web3 experiences.
- Projects integrating ASTR play a key role in the campaign, distributing ACS rewards to their users and strengthening the token’s adoption.
Once the campaign concludes, ACS points will be redeemable for ASTR tokens at a fixed rate of 1 ACS = 0.1 ASTR, directly rewarding users based on their engagement and contributions throughout the event.
Looking Ahead
The Astar Collective is expanding, and Soneium is at the forefront as its first Superchain network. The ACS campaign marks a significant step toward embedding ASTR into a broader, multi-chain future, making it a key asset within the Superchain ecosystem.
As a key network supporting this initiative, Soneium is excited to see how ACS will drive new activity, encourage adoption, and build long-term value for both ASTR and the broader ecosystem.
