Cointime Official

Do you wish to earn more returns while securely holding ADA? Do you want a more secure and speedy trading platform with lower transaction costs? Do you want to realize the possibility of purchasing and migrating assets among blockchains? If you are a developer, do you need a convenient platform to raise or exchange funds?

In this article, you can learn more about Astarter and how to get "started" through staking ADA with the projects stake pool today.

Astarter is a smart contract system on the Cardano blockchain. At the core of Astarter is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) protocol designed to leverage greater security and smart contract cost predictability features of a Cardano next-level DeFi application deployment supporting liquidity and interoperability with multi-source verifiable price oracles.

4 Key product features implemented by Astarter

1.Launchpad (ISPO&IDO)

Astarter developed based on Cardano it provides a comprehensive blockchain platform for launchpad/DEX, etc., DeFi functions all in one. Start-ups and decentralized projects can raise/exchange funds on Astarter's interoperable and decentralized infrastructure. This technology can also have other applications, including password-protected closed over-the-counter transactions, discount sales of white-listed addresses, and even crowdfunding in the future.

An Initial Stake Pool Offering (ISPO) is a new way for investors and the communities to support Astarter using the Cardano blockchain. Through Astarter ISPO users can delegate their ADA to the public Astarter stake pools. This ensures that users keep their ADA safe in their own wallet, but are rewarded with Astarter Tokens (AA) based on the quantity of ADA staked and the duration for users' stake with the Astarter stake pool.

Astarter launched its first stage ISPO at the end of September 2022 (Epoch 366), enabling staking ADA to Astarter AA1 stake pool to earn an assignment of AA tokens. Now Astarter ISPO has entered the transition phase from Stage One ISPO by 1st Mar(Epoch 397). Staking with AA1 stake pool to earn increased AA and ADA rewards to prepare for Stage Two ISPO (Merge Staking Protocol).

During the transition phase, Astarter increases its rewards with an incentive consisting of three incremental tiers (as shown in the figure below) to take users into the launch of the Merge Staking Protocol .

Delegators earn extra bonus rewards if they stake ADA to AA1 stake pool during the transition phase into Stage Two ISPO. The full details of the bonus are expected to be announced very soon. To earn AA and ADA during the transition phase, simply stake Cardano ADA to AA1 stake pool and watch the rewards pile up!

Initial DEX Offering (IDO) mechanism is a fundraising component of Astarter Launchpad that manages the automation of initial token offerings for Launchpad projects. Projects launching an IDO can benefit from token liquidity and instant trading on Astarter’s ADEX.

Here are three core points of Astarter：

a)Astarter core feature--fixed exchange pool

In future beta versions, users can explore and participate in multiple token pools. These will be fixed exchange pools in which two or more parties exchange a fixed amount of tokens at a predetermined price. 

The fixed exchange pools can solve one of the biggest problems of automated decentralized transactions like Uniswap, and make Astarter Swap suitable for not only daily spot trading but also token sales.

b)Astarter core function--liquidity mining

Astarter Tech Service DAO framework interacts with the Launchpad to enable community voting on preferences relating to projects which may include project ratings, token listing on ADEX and other features. In a broader context, potential for a fund matching mechanism exists as project fundraising paths develop.

c)Astarter core application--private pool & white-lists

Astarter will introduce functions such as password protection pool and address white-listing for participating in the transaction pool to make sure that it can be used for private fundraising and over-the-counter transactions.

The Launchpad Open Beta Testnet has gone live by 25th May 2022. The goal of the first beta version is to make Cardano's Mainnet assets and token pool reach a viable and usable, fixed exchange platform, creating a market for connection pool creators and liquidity providers.

2.Astarter DEX (ADEX)

Decentralized Exchange(DEX) is a comprehensive decentralized trading platform, including trading, wallets, price feed transactions, market displays, and decentralized lending.

Astarter can use ADA, stable assets, or LP-defined Assets as the currency pair. ADA as the currency strengthens liquidity.

Astarter swaps offer a convenient method for users to buy asset A with asset B by adopting a feature that allows users to receive and use assets prior to payment. This feature can alleviate the closing of collateralized positions.

3.Money Market

Astarter Money Market consists of lending and borrowing contracts to automate yield generating lending and collateralized borrowing.

4.Tech Service

Astarter Tech Service is an oracle machine essentially concerned with bridging functions that accommodate variable-source price data requirements, governance, and token voting DAO features that interoperate with the other layers. The oracle machine tracks the prices of assets in relevant markets to compute approximate prices. Reliable approximations of asset prices function to limit and prevent manipulation attacks using market price mechanisms based on contract interactions weighted per block over time.

The Astarter smart contract system incorporates proven standard formula within an advanced functional design. The modular system architecture prioritizes security while maintaining a balance of new features to maximize flexibility for a positive decentralized application experience.

  • French Finance Committee Approves Amendments on Stablecoin Exchange Tax and Crypto Exit Tax

    On October 10, Decrypt reported that the Finance Committee of the French National Assembly approved two amendments related to cryptocurrency taxation this week: starting January 1, 2027, exchanges of stablecoins regulated under MiCA will be considered taxable sales; and an exit tax will be imposed on taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least six of the past ten years and have moved abroad with crypto assets totaling over 800,000 euros. On October 9, the committee voted 31 to 3 to reject the budget revenue portion, and the full National Assembly will review based on the government's original text. The amendments will not be automatically included; supporters must reintroduce them during the debate starting on October 13, with a formal vote scheduled for October 20. The related measures have not yet become law. The stablecoin amendment was proposed by Nicolas Sansu, a member of the left-wing GDR party group, along with 16 co-signers, and does not set a new tax rate but aims to include the revenue under France's existing 31.4% flat tax system. The committee also passed an amendment allowing crypto asset losses to be carried forward for ten years to offset future gains.
