Reactivating $ASTR Coretime Auto-Renewals
A new onchain referendum is live on @AstarNetwork. It proposes to reactivate automatic Coretime renewals for Astar’s parachain on @Polkadot.
What’s changing?
Previously, each renewal cost around 540 DOT — expensive and inefficient. Now, under @Polkadot’s new Agile Coretime model, renewals cost only ~10 DOT. That’s over 98% cheaper, making Astar far more sustainable and future-ready. 🌱
What this referendum will do?
It will reactivate Astar’s auto-renewal system via a simple XCM message. From then on, the system will automatically renew every 28 days using DOT reserves already available.
Why this matters?
• Keeps Astar permanently connected to Polkadot
• Reduces renewal costs from 540 → 10 DOT
• Guarantees up to 2 years of coverage with existing funds
• Boosts operational efficiency
• Strengthens Astar in the Polkadot 2.0 era
