PANews reported on November 12 that Astar Network officially announced its Evolution Phase 2 roadmap:

• Astar plans to launch a Burndrop proof-of-concept mechanism in the coming months, allowing users to voluntarily burn tokens in exchange for future Startale ecosystem tokens, with full implementation planned for 2026.
• Meanwhile, Astar plans to activate Tokenomics 3.0 through a governance proposal in early 2026, introducing a fixed supply model with an expected total supply cap of 10.5 billion ASTR.
• In addition, the Startale application will be integrated in early 2026, providing users with a unified entry point for ASTR management and ecosystem participation, and the Plaza integration will be launched at the end of 2025, further expanding the use cases of ASTR in the Polkadot ecosystem.
• Astar also plans to complete its governance evolution by mid-2026, gradually transferring the foundation's functions to the governance committee and community contributors.

Astar founder Sota Watanabe stated that this phase aims to establish a long-term sustainable structure, strengthening the network's future development through scarcity and scalability.
