On Monday, Astar Network announced via X that Tokenomics 3.0 is activated on Astar Network, ensuring that ASTR supply now follows a long-term convergence path.
By activating emission decay, ASTR will converge toward a fixed cap of 10 billion tokens. At the same time, inflation is reduced to slow supply growth under current network conditions.
Tokenomics 3.0 lowers inflation so supply growth remains controlled. This helps limit dilution and supports the long-term value of ASTR. The maximum yearly inflation ceiling has been reduced from 7% to 5.5%.
Actual inflation is currently around 3%, depending on staking levels. Issuance continues, now within clearly defined limits. Under current parameters, the update reduces annual emissions by ~129 million ASTR and lowers the overall emission ceiling by 21.4%.
Emissions adjust automatically based on staking participation, targeting ~50% staking ratio. Short-term rewards remain participation-driven while decay governs long-term supply.
Finally, Astar Network revealed that the fee mechanics remain unchanged. 80% of transaction fees are burned, and 20% go to collaborators. Burn mechanisms such as Burndrop operate independently, meaning long-term supply can be lower than 10B ASTR.
Astar Network is a multi-chain dApp hub on Polkadot. The platform offers users various features, including dApp staking, L2 solutions, gas, and grants.
