Our team is pushing the boundaries of decentralized finance (DeFi) with a multichain-deployment strategy tailored to ecosystem strengths. We’re kicking things off with <strong>our debut deployment on Cardano</strong>, featuring <strong>integrated DeFAI </strong>to harness its unique capabilities, followed by an expansion to cross-chain to leverage broader crypto assets and ensure interoperability with Layer 2 ecosystems sharing compatible protocol standards. This approach allows us to deliver enhanced functionality, scalability, and access to the broader DeFi space for our community, starting with <strong>Cardano’s innovative foundation.</strong></p><p>To realize this vision, we’re pursuing a strategy tailored to ecosystem protocol strengths. For <strong>cross-chain</strong>, we’re developing a strategic deployment to leverage broader crypto assets and ensure interoperability with Layer 2 ecosystems sharing compatible protocol standards, aligning with advancements in the account-based model. Simultaneously, we’re advancing development within the <strong>Cardano ecosystem</strong>, focusing on its emerging interoperability standards best suited for the extended UTXO model. This approach allows us to deliver a <strong>cohesive and efficient experience across networks</strong>, scaling effectively with respective chain standards and partner ecosystems while meeting the diverse needs of our community.</p><h3>TGE Timeline Adjustment: Ensuring Long-Term Success</h3><p>To ensure that our <strong>TGE (Token Generation Event)</strong> meets the highest security and performance standards, we are <strong>adjusting our timeline</strong>: planned TGE for <strong>Q1 2025</strong>, the event is now scheduled for <strong>Q2 2025</strong>.</p><p>This change allows us to:<br>1. Conduct additional <strong>security audits</strong> and <strong>penetration testing</strong> to enhance the robustness of our smart contracts and ensure full regulatory compliance.<br>2. Optimize cross-chain <strong>interoperability</strong> for Layer 2 solutions, requiring extra development and rigorous testing.<br>3. Fine-tune our <strong>tokenomics and incentive structure</strong> to maximize long-term sustainability and adoption.<br>4. Align with <strong>favorable market conditions</strong>, ensuring the <strong>best possible launch environment</strong> for our community and investors.</p><p>Our team with the strong backing of <strong>Emurgo </strong>and <strong>strategic partners</strong> has <strong>already achieved major milestones</strong>, including market research, product development, beta testing, auditing and strategic partnerships. Over the next few months we will be unveiling our latest deployments and updates.</p><p>We appreciate your continued <strong>support and patience</strong> as we build something <strong>truly transformative</strong>. Stay tuned for <strong>more updates</strong>, as we progress toward a <strong>stronger, more resilient launch</strong> — big things are on the way!</p><p><em>The Project Team</em></p><p><strong>Social Links</strong></p><p><a href="http://astarter.io/"><em>Website</em></a><em> |</em><a href="https://twitter.com/AstarterDefiHub"><em> Twitter</em></a><em> | </em><a href="http://t.me/astarterdefihubofficial"><em>Telegram </em></a><em>|</em><a href="https://discord.gg/astarter"><em> Discord</em></a><em> |</em><a href="https://medium.com/@AstarterDefiHub"><em> Medium</em></a><em> |</em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvgyIH-AhzehGy5DYDoL9jw"><em> YouTube</em></a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3b5f4a101616" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/astarter/project-update-expanding-defi-horizons-and-refining-our-timeline-3b5f4a101616">Project Update: Expanding DeFi Horizons and Refining Our Timeline</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/astarter">Astarter</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Accumulate AA DeFi Tokens by Staking Cardano ADA with Astarter.</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9k3XHoQ2uIPrmQTNvjlSIA.jpeg" /></figure><p>We’re excited to announce the launch of Astarter ISPO v2.0. This initiative offers our community a unique opportunity to accumalate AA tokens by staking ADA. Here’s why you should consider participating and how you can benefit from staking in our ISPO v2.0.</p><h3>Why Participate in Astarter ISPO V2.0?</h3><h4>- Navigating the Bear Market with Smart Investments</h4><p>As ADA holders, participating in the Astarter ISPO v2.0 offers a strategic advantage especially during a bear market. By staking your ADA, not only do you secure additional rewards through AA tokens, but you also position yourself to benefit from the potential appreciation of ADA over market cycles.</p><h4><strong>- Secure and Rewarding</strong></h4><p>By delegating your ADA in the Astarter ISPO v2.0, you’re not just holding your ADA; you’re actively growing it. Your original ADA remains intact and under your control, with the added potential of accumulating AA token rewards.</p><p>Astarter ISPO participants will be able to receive priority access to Merge Staking and AWLs NFT, offering exclusive benefits and opportunities.</p><p>The more ADA you delegate, the higher the rewards. Our tiered reward system is designed to maximize your returns.</p><h4><strong>- Flexible and Accessible</strong></h4><p>You can start or stop delegation at any time. This flexibility ensures that you’re never locked in and can adjust your position according to your personal staking strategy.</p><h3><strong>How Does It Work?</strong></h3><h4><strong>- ADA Stake Delegation</strong></h4><p>Delegate your ADA in the AA2 pool and earn AA tokens as rewards. The Astarter AA2 pool is being specially configured in the foreseeable future with a 99% pool margin setting to ensure that the maximum possible rewards from staking are returned as AA tokens to participants.</p><h4>- Tiered Reward System</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*oMRWoRe9ifHYLPQEtnl1PA.png" /><figcaption><em>Note: Reward table is calculated based on the annual effective rate, assuming AA tokens hold a value at $1 each, and ADA valued at $0.4 USD.<br>* Incremental AA rewards figures are based upon per 1000 ADA staked <br>** Annual AA rewards figures are based upon 1000 ADA staked over 73 Epochs</em></figcaption></figure><h3>Why Accumulate AA: A Sneak Peek at TGE and Astarter DEX (ADEX) v2.5?</h3><p>Accumulation of AA is poised to offer significant utility. We have already negotiated listings on at least three major cryptocurrency exchanges (CEXs), with plans to launch when market conditions improve. This ensures immediate liquidity and potential market appreciation post-TGE.</p><p>Furthermore, the upcoming release of our DEX v2.5 version will introduce enhanced functionalities and new features immediately after the TGE, providing more value to AA holders and users. This combination of strategic exchange listings and product advancements makes accumulation of AA an opportunity to be noticed, especially as we anticipate a market upturn.</p><h3>Get Started Today</h3><p>Joining is simple:</p><ol><li>Choose your delegation amount.</li><li>Stake your ADA in the AA2 pool. <a href="https://pool.pm/2676d1aa8baa23963e2724eb18b5743b4e1a2a79cfadbc12d2fdc99d">https://pool.pm/2676d1aa8baa23963e2724eb18b5743b4e1a2a79cfadbc12d2fdc99d</a></li><li>Start accumulating AA tokens with every completed epoch.</li></ol><p>Astarter is allocating a whopping <strong>2%</strong> of the total AA token supply exclusively for ISPO rewards or which 2 Million AA will be allocated to the AA2 staking pool.

While market conditions haven’t been favourable for the TGE, we adapt and remain consistent with a community and security-first approach to product development. The first beta product was released six months after smart contracts went live on Cardano. Multiple Beta tests of Astarter DEX versions, leveraging the performance of Plutus v2, passing an external audit, and bringing enhanced transactions to ADEX v3.</p><p>During this time, our aim to align principles of decentralisation and web3 with current and future network participants reflects our commitment to community building with regular events and campaigns.</p><p>The processes required for TGE are now progressing in the background, and the project is poised to release some new and exciting updates. There are no promises relating to market conditions, yet all being well, alignment between now and mid-Sept will be favourable and present an exciting $AA accumulation phase.</p><p>As we continue to develop more DeFi infrastructure to support the project and DeFi ecosystem (to be unveiled), the Astarter AA2 stake pool that went live in November 2023 is performing well in producing regular blocks, with over 1600 to date. All That said, as we enter a new historical cycle, we would first like to bolster AA2 pool rewards. Therefore, in the days ahead, we will announce an update to deliver AA rewards for staking ADA with AA2 with the launch of Astarter ISPO v2.0. Stay tuned for more on this exciting update and announcement.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lF4kCrMFu0bRmGH4BDbLMg.png" /><figcaption><a href="https://cexplorer.io/pool/pool1yemdr25t4g3ev038yn433dt58d8p52nee7kmcykjlhye6hshu9m">https://cexplorer.io/pool/pool1yemdr25t4g3ev038yn433dt58d8p52nee7kmcykjlhye6hshu9m</a></figcaption></figure><p>We thank our readers and community members for their continued support and patience as the background processes to deliver AA TGE, listings, and more to shape the future of Astarter DeFi are underway.</p><p>Join us on this exciting journey!

Our technical team doesn’t take shortcuts or compromise on security to achieve the project’s long-term aims of a community-driven DeFi infrastructure hub on Cardano. There are no Ethereum EVM Solidity Smart Contract forks, and developers proficient in coding Cardano Smart Contracts are few and far between. We have always maintained that Astarter applications fully interact with the Cardano blockchain with Haskell code written from the ground up, leveraging robust Plutus Smart Contracts, so we embraced the challenges of this new emerging technology. In 2023, Astarter DEX underwent beta testing and <a href="https://skynet.certik.com/projects/astarter">auditing</a> of our Plutus V2 Smart contracts and is currently available in a live beta release on the Cardano mainnet.</p><p>The release of Astarter DEX V2 on Cardano mainnet enables AMM token swaps in a live environment; the incentivized beta brought actual load and usage to help determine current and future scale and throughput requirements. ADEX has a two-step Matchmaker transaction process. Matchmaker enables ADEX to handle 3–5 requests per block, an improvement over other AMM DEXs on Cardano.</p><p>Focusing development on optimized Plutus V2 smart contracts, positions Astarter in readiness for our launchpad, AA token launch, money market, and tech service products, as detailed on our 2024 roadmap.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/987/1*U4DOhYoE-xCFlXW5JvO6XA.jpeg" /><figcaption><a href="https://astarter-1.gitbook.io/welcome-to-astarter/roadmap">https://astarter-1.gitbook.io/welcome-to-astarter/roadmap</a></figcaption></figure><h3><strong>Community</strong></h3><p>Our next step for ADEX is to increase transaction throughput and enhance concurrency to reach a potential 25+ transactions per block. We outlined plans for enhanced concurrency in our article titled “<a href="https://medium.com/astarter/astarter-technical-advancements-enhancing-concurrency-in-adex-cf35b13f217b"><strong>Astarter Technical Advancements: Enhancing Concurrency in ADEX</strong></a>” and have since submitted our first Catalyst proposal “<a href="https://projectcatalyst.io/funds/11/cardano-use-cases-solution/astarter-enhanced-concurrency-on-cardano"><strong>Astarter Enhanced Concurrency on Cardano</strong></a>“ seeking community funding for the development.</p><p>At Astarter, we take a community-first approach, continually striving to align principles of decentralization and web3 with current and future network participants. We see this community-first approach as being paramount to our project’s success. After all, what purpose would great DeFi products that scale to meet the needs of a flourishing community serve without a vibrant and engaged flourishing community?</p><p>Consistency in community programs and campaigns enables the Astarter community to grow. Engaging programs and campaigns during the bear market saw a 30% boost in engagement, our Discord family grew to 15,679 members, and we hit 43,875 followers on X (formerly Twitter). Holding regular X spaces with a vibrant and varied selection of projects on topics covering everything from DeFi, and Stablecoins to Oracles. We joined OKX in a panel discussion on the future of DeFI, Hosted a discussion panel on blockchain possibilities in Africa, teamed up with Wanchain to help bring USDC to Cardano, and hosted a campaign with CNS Cardano as well as Astarter closed and open beta campaigns, summaries and products updates.</p><h3><strong>Launch incentives</strong></h3><p>Astarter ISPO pool AA1 has allocated distribution of over 250K AA tokens as staking rewards from the original modest allocation of 500K AA and is currently incrementing rewards to include more ADA and AA during the transition to Merge Staking which will bring even higher rewards to those participating in the Astarter ecosystem.</p><p>We have several new campaigns lined up before the ISPO AA allocation is exhausted. The first of these we hope will boost the incentive for joining and continuing participation in the Astarter ISPO through staking ADA to AA1 stake pool.</p><ul><li><strong><em>Duration January 25 through to March 15 2024 (Epoch 463–473)</em></strong></li></ul><p><strong>Boost for new participants bringing over 1000 ADA staked to AA1</strong></p><ul><li>$20 worth of ADA Welcome Bonus (Stake over $1000 ADA to earn AA + ADA rewards; FCFS, 50 winners)</li><li>Stake over 1500 ADA over 5 Epochs: Share $2500 worth of ADA Extra Bonus Proportionally</li></ul><p><strong>Boost for existing participants</strong></p><ul><li>Stake over 10 Epochs: Share 5000 AA Proportionally</li></ul><p>The second campaign will be announced to include community stake pools that will see use through to the exhaustion of the ISPO allocation, launch of the AA token and Merge staking protocol.</p><p>Join us on this exciting journey!

This process increases concurrency, allowing ADEX to handle 3–5 requests per block.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*iS6c98P6UHxQAHhT" /></figure><h4>Transaction Chaining for Higher Concurrency</h4><p>Our analysis found that Transaction Chaining offers a unique approach to concurrency. Instead of batching and ordering UTXOs off-chain, it orders them virtually in a “first-come-first-served” manner. It enables lower latency and substantially higher throughput.</p><blockquote><strong>Small Tests</strong></blockquote><p>We conducted small tests on the Cardano chain (Preprod testnet) and successfully sent two transactions in one block. This demonstrates that one block can process multiple packages, improving concurrency.<br>Tx1: <a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transaction/876d42e0944da52394bb9f4c57d4f6b592ccb9c0c9b8a25bdac6112b60ec9c50">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transaction/876d42e0944da52394bb9f4c57d4f6b592ccb9c0c9b8a25bdac6112b60ec9c50</a> <br>Tx2: <a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transaction/de0d01fa7fa614ea20af66ae1fac43bc7a6a90143e4f77b48a954c9929ac44e6?tab=utxo">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transaction/de0d01fa7fa614ea20af66ae1fac43bc7a6a90143e4f77b48a954c9929ac44e6?tab=utxo</a></p><blockquote><strong>Follow-up tests</strong></blockquote><p>Additionally, a follow-up test involved submitting 100 transactions consecutively, and they were packed into blocks in sequence. This means there’s no limit to transactions within 100 in the Cardano chain mempool.<br><a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255375">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255375</a> <br><a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255376">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255376</a> <br><a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255377">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255377</a> <br><a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255378">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255378</a> <br><a href="https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255379">https://preprod.cardanoscan.io/transactions?blockHeight=1255379</a></p><p><strong>Implementing transaction chaining alone in ADEX would considerably increase concurrency, potentially reaching 25 transactions per block, similar to the BTC chain. Combining this with the two-step transaction process could take ADEX’s concurrency to even greater heights.</strong></p><p>It’s important to note that this solution is currently in testing, and the specifics will be unveiled in future updates. The expected deployment of the upgraded DEX, using transaction chaining, is set for early September. However, it’s important to be aware of potential delay risk factors.</p><p>The transaction chaining approach brings both risks and rewards. While challenges such as implementation complexity, smart contract vulnerabilities, and scalability must be addressed, the potential benefits, including increased efficiency, improved user experience, and enhanced DeFi capabilities, make this an exciting development for ADEX and the Cardano ecosystem.</p><h4>Split popular trading pairs into multiple UTXO</h4><p>This solution will be used in our ADEX Version 3 to improve the concurrency while it’s currently confidential, the details will be published at the appropriate time.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Astarter is at the forefront of innovation in DeFi on Cardano.
