š Astar Community Weekly Highlights
From users and creators to devs and explorers, hereās what the Astar community has been up to this week. A round-up of tweets, threads, and insights you shouldnāt miss. š§µ

Here is a breakdown by @SimonBrtR on how ASTR is now powering gas fees on @soneium thanks to Startaleās Account Abstraction infrastructure. š
šØ BREAKING on @soneium šØ
$ASTR is now officially a GAS TOKEN ! š„
You can now pay gas fees using ASTR or USDC, no more ETH needed ā thanks to @StartaleCS AA wallet!
š Whatās happening?
@kyofinance is the first dApp to enable ASTR gas payments on mainnet using Startaleās powerful ERC-20 Paymaster.
This is a HUGE step forward for ASTRās real-world utility.
š” But wait⦠what is Account Abstraction (AA)?
Itās a new Web3 standard that makes using dApps as easy as using Web2 apps:
ā
Log in with social accounts (no seed phrases)
ā
No more constant transaction popups
ā
Choose which token to pay gas with (like ASTR or USDC)
ā
dApps can even cover your gas fees
In short:
š§ Less friction. More users. More adoption.
This is how we bring the "next billion users onchain".
š ASTR isnāt just for governance or staking anymore.
Itās now part of the CORE ENGINE powering #Soneium.
And this is just the beginning.
Thanks to Startale & @AstarNetwork ā¤ļø

ASTR enters the Superchain?
@EmanuCt96 explores how Astar is leveraging Chainlinkās CCIP to become a key part of the modular and interoperable future. š
āļø $ASTR enters the Superchain era!
Itās the first ERC-7802 token with native interoperability thanks to
@chainlink CCIP š„
Theyāve adopted Chainlinkās Burn-Mint model:
š„ Burn on @AstarNetwork
⨠Mint on @soneium
ā No wrapped tokens
ā No barriers between chains
š One $ASTR, everywhere:
from Astar Network to Soneium, @base, @Optimism and the whole superchain.
šš»with the same address, zero slippage, and unified UX.
š $ASTR is ready to move across chains as a true Superchain native.
A new standard is born
