The Astar Contribution Score (ACS) campaign has been a pivotal initiative in enhancing the Soneium ecosystem, driving substantial growth and fostering innovation. As we pass the halfway mark of this 100-day campaign, it's essential to examine the milestones achieved, the strategic integrations that have enriched the ecosystem, and the path forward.

ACS Campaign: Catalyzing Growth and Innovation

Launched on February 20, 2025, the ACS campaign was designed to incentivize adoption and establish a sustainable economic model for the ASTR token within the Soneium ecosystem. The campaign offers a total reward pool of 100 million ASTR tokens, distributed over ten 10-day seasons, rewarding users and projects that contribute meaningfully to the network's expansion.

Key Achievements to Date

In the initial 50 days, the ACS campaign has driven impressive metrics:

Total Value Secured (TVS): Increased by $84,138,063, marking a 140% growth.
Transaction Volume: 64M+ transactions have been processed.
User Engagement: 1.5M+ unique addresses have interacted with Soneium.
ASTR Inflow: 261,994,171 ASTR tokens have been integrated into the ecosystem.

These figures underscore the campaign's effectiveness in enhancing liquidity, user activity, and the overall utility of ASTR.

Strategic Integrations: Enriching the Ecosystem

Beyond quantitative growth, the ACS campaign has strategically expanded its ecosystem through the inclusion of new projects and assets, fostering a diverse and dynamic environment.

New Project Onboardings

Midway through the campaign, several innovative projects joined the ACS initiative, each contributing uniquely to the ecosystem's vibrancy:

CoNFT: It is a multi-chain web3 utility hub offering comprehensive services such as web3 name service, NFT aggregator, and launchpad.
2p2e: It is an onchain prediction and gaming platform offering interactive markets and game-play.
VibeHit: It is a web3 rhythm game where players tap to the beat, earn rewards, and unlock NFT-based skins and assets.
WORLD3: Joining ACS from Season 6, it is an innovative platform at the intersection of AI and blockchain, pioneering the concept of AI Autonomous Worlds.
Path of Soneium: Joining the campaign from Season 6 as well, it is an ecosystem campaign to complete quests, interact onchain, and climb your way to the top.

These additions have diversified the application landscape within Soneium, offering users a broader range of experiences and utilities.

Asset Expansion and Multiplier Adjustments

The campaign also saw the inclusion of new assets to the TVL-based allocation track, enhancing liquidity options and user engagement:

SolvBTC.JUP was added from Season 4 with a 0.8x multiplier.
USDT0 will be added from Season 6 with a 1.0x multiplier.
uBTC will be added from Season 6 with a 0.5x multiplier.

To maintain a performance-driven reward system, the campaign adjusted TVL multipliers, notably reducing SolvBTC and xSolvBTC from 1.1x to 0.8x in Season 3 along with increasing USDC’s multiplier from 1.1x to 1.2x.

Forward Momentum: The Road Ahead

With five seasons remaining, the ACS campaign is poised to build upon its solid foundation:

Ecosystem Diversification: Continued inclusion of innovative projects and assets to broaden user experiences and application utilities.
Incentive Optimization: Ongoing assessment and adjustment of reward structures to ensure alignment with performance and contribution.
Community Engagement: Strengthening initiatives that promote active participation, knowledge sharing, and collaborative development.

The ACS campaign stands as a testament to Astar's commitment to fostering a robust, user-centric ecosystem, with ASTR at its core.

The ACS campaign isn’t just a burst of momentum — it’s a long-term investment in network depth and economic alignment. By directing ASTR incentives to the most value-generating protocols and users, ACS strengthens the foundation for Astar to scale as the infrastructure layer of the Soneium ecosystem. This is more than just growth hacking; it’s ecosystem engineering. With each new project onboarded, each asset integrated, and each address activated, Astar reinforces its role as the execution layer that powers Soneium’s modular future. ACS is where short-term traction meets long-term strategy — and the results speak for themselves.

Conclusion

At the halfway mark, the ACS campaign has already proven itself as a powerful catalyst for growth, injecting fresh liquidity, driving user engagement, and expanding project diversity within the Soneium ecosystem. With strategic integrations and a performance-based reward structure, ACS isn’t just a short-term campaign — it's a launchpad for long-term adoption and innovation.

As we enter the second half of the campaign, momentum is only building. For those already participating, the opportunity to earn and contribute with ASTR is growing more rewarding by the day. And for anyone still watching from the sidelines — it is high time to get involved. The foundation is being laid for something much bigger, and those who contribute early are best positioned to benefit. ASTR isn’t just a token powering the network — it’s becoming the engine of an emerging onchain economy with real, lasting value.
