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). Stake with AA1 Stake Pool to earn increased AA and ADA rewards to prepare for Stage Two ISPO. Check out the following for the Transition Reward Incentive(TRI) details.

- TRI Detail in Transition Phase
During the Transition to Merge Staking AA1 stake pool is increasing rewards with an incentive consisting of three incremental tiers to take us into the launch of the Merge Staking Protocol.
- TRI 25, AA1 stake pool ISPO base reward increases by 25% and pool $ADA rewards of 25%
- TRI 50, AA1 stake pool ISPO base reward increases by 50% and pool $ADA rewards of 50%
- TRI 75, AA1 stake pool ISPO base rewards increases by 75% and pool $ADA rewards of 75%

You are probably wondering about the duration and when each tier begins and ends, however unlike stage 1 there is no set duration as the transition coincides closely with Astarter product launches. Methods of staking AA are required for Merge Staking as well as the Token Generation Event. Margin changes are on-chain and we will announce when a change is made and becomes active.
- Extra Rewards in Transition Phase
Loyalty is the key!
Delegators earn extra bonus rewards if they stake to [AA1] Stake Pool for the whole Transition Phase into Stage Two ISPO.
The bonus details are to be announced soon.
In summary, the Transition to Merge Staking is an opportunity for ADA holders to earn AA and ADA from staking to AA1 stake pool. TRI is incremental to margin pool decreases giving delegators higher rewards at each tier and duration bonuses will also be applied in the furtue. To earn AA and ADA during the transition phase simply stake Cardano ADA to AA1 stake pool and watch the rewards pile up!
As a final note, there are 3 easy steps to transition into Merge Staking
- Stake Cardano ADA to AA1 stake pool
- Get AA + ADA rewards
- Stake AA to Astarter DeFi and leverage on Merge Staking Rewards.
Thank you for reading and happy staking.
