BlockBeats news, on October 2, Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale, posted on X: "Since the announcement of the transition from Astar zkEVM to Soneium, one of the most common questions is about the future direction of Astar and the role of the ASTR token. This transition represents the first of two stages of Astar Evolution. The second stage has been determined in the Astar Foundation, and we are entering the execution stage."

Currently, the team is considering some potential development directions and hopes to discuss with the community. These directions include ASTR as an ecosystem asset; ASTR as a DeFi asset; ASTR as a currency in consumer applications with AA; ASTR is used to improve the security of Soneium infrastructure, etc.
