CoinVoice recently learned that Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale, said in a post 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 phases of Astar Evolution. The second phase has been determined at the Astar Foundation, and we are entering the execution phase."

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 used to improve the security of Soneium infrastructure, etc. [Original link]
