About The Project

Astar is a Polkadot-ecosystem network that rewards developers through dApp staking. The Yoki campaign is described on the Astar blog, and staking rules are in the official docs.

Earlier text on this page implied an open airdrop, which the sources do not support.

Why This Airdrop Matters

Astar announced a distribution of 9 million ASTR on Astar zkEVM to participants in the Yoki NFT campaign. Eligibility required at least six "Fused Yoki" made from different species of base Yoki. Claims were staged: 50% of rewards on 3 July, 25% on 2 August and the remainder on 1 September, with the end of September as the deadline. The post does not state a year, so check its date.

Astar zkEVM is no longer live. A profile page says it was deprecated by March 2025 and is no longer accessible, so the campaign cannot be joined or claimed now.

The lasting feature is dApp staking. Holders stake ASTR or SDN to support projects and receive rewards from inflation. Rewards are generated only if tokens stay staked on a dApp for at least one full era and are paid in the following era. A third-party guide mentions a 500 ASTR minimum with at least 10 ASTR kept in the wallet, and in the V3 design, developer rewards that are not claimed are burned.

Staking pays from inflation, so the real return depends on the ASTR price and on how many other people stake.

For developers the incentive is different from that of ordinary holders. Because dApp staking directs inflation towards the projects people choose to back, builders compete for community stake, and holders are in effect voting with their tokens. That makes it more like a grant system than an airdrop, and results depend on a project's ability to keep attracting stakers.

Participation Guide

There is nothing to claim. To stake, use the official Astar portal and read the current docs for minimums and unbonding. Do not trust messages about a "second Yoki claim", and never share a seed phrase.
