The Astar Contribution Score (ACS) campaign goes beyond liquidity incentives — it’s about fueling real builders, creators, and innovators who drive the Astar and Soneium ecosystem forward. While TVL-based allocation rewards liquidity providers, the discretionary allocation supports projects that enhance adoption, engagement, and long-term sustainability.
Astar has allocated ACS to projects spanning gaming, consumer applications, and DeFi, ensuring that the ecosystem thrives beyond liquidity mining.
265,000,000 ACS has been allocated based on discretion, and each season, 26,500,000 ACS will be distributed. This is further divided into:
- Consumer & Gaming Allocation: 150,000,000 ACS
- DeFi Allocation: 115,000,000 ACS
Settlements will occur every 12 hours at 00:00 UTC, and you can check the updated website at 01:00 UTC.
Note: ACS is distributed to each eligible project every 12 hours at 00:00 UTC; however, distribution of ACS to users is decided by the individual projects themselves.
This article breaks down the projects receiving discretionary ACS, how ASTR integrates into their platforms, and how you can start earning ACS rewards today.
