Current inflation rate, down from a 7% ceiling under the prior model. Declining annually as emission decay continues.
The token at the center of the Collective.
ASTR is the Astar Collective's economic and governance token. It powers staking and governance on Astar Network, fuels DeFi across the ecosystem, runs the Astar Stack as it launches across multiple networks, and is the consumer product token for Yoki, the Collective's IP.
Tokenomics
Tokenomics 3.0 is live.
Emission decay, a reduced inflation ceiling, and a long-term convergence toward a fixed supply cap of ~10B ASTR. Live as of March 2026.
Activated Q1 2026. Transitions ASTR from inflationary to supply-converging design.
Tokenomics 3.0 transitions ASTR from an inflationary model to a supply-converging model. The supply ceiling creates long-term predictability. Burndrop adds compounding supply reduction on top.

Utilities
What ASTR does.
ASTR is more than a token to hold. It powers staking, governance, gameplay, and DeFi across two networks.
dApp Staking
Stake ASTR to back curated projects, earn yield over an annual cycle.
Governance voting
Create referenda and vote on protocol direction.
Gas and transactions
Pay for onchain activity on Astar Network.
Yoki consumer products
Use ASTR across Yoki Legacy and Yoki Arcade for minting, gameplay, and rewards.
DeFi
Liquidity provision, liquid staking, lending, and borrowing.
Governance
Vote with your ASTR.
ASTR holders shape Astar's direction. Submit referenda, vote on proposals, and signal preferences on dApp Staking, treasury allocation, and protocol parameters. Voting weight reflects your ASTR holdings and dApp Staking positions.
Hold ASTR
Acquire and hold ASTR to gain voting rights. Stake in dApp Staking to increase your voting weight.
Submit or vote on referenda
Use the governance interface to submit new proposals or cast votes on active referenda. All voting happens onchain.
Track outcomes onchain
All governance decisions are recorded and executable onchain. Track proposal status, voting outcomes, and execution history in real time.
Burndrop
A holder-driven path to permanent ASTR supply reduction.
Burndrop is a supply-side mechanism. ASTR holders voluntarily reduce supply. Participation is explicit, locked, and irreversible. Proof of concept complete.
How Burndrop works
Holders commit ASTR to a lock-and-burn process. The reduction is permanent, onchain, and verifiable.
Proof of concept complete
Value capture
Four areas driving long-term ASTR value.
Products
The primary value-capture layer. Activity from Collective products routes value to ASTR. The Astar Stack (Astar Fi, Astar Guard) drives financial product revenue. Yoki drives demand through consumer products and gameplay.
Tokenomics 3.0
Supply convergence toward a fixed ceiling of ~10B ASTR. Declining emissions compress the inflation window over time. Predictable by design.
DeFi operations
The Collective deploys treasury capital into DeFi and onchain asset management to generate returns. These returns route to ASTR through reinvestment, treasury resilience, or governance-led buybacks.
Burndrop
A holder-driven path to permanent supply reduction. ASTR holders commit tokens to explicit, irreversible burns.
