Project Research Dossier — Astarter ($AST)

From attached source: Project_Research_Dossier_Astarter.pdf

Project Research Dossier — Astarter ($AST) Research status: Pre-/near-TGE candidate; eligibility caveat noted below. Primary-source standard: Official Astarter documentation/site and official security materials only.

1. Project goal Astarter describes itself as Web4/AI infrastructure designed to connect autonomous AI agents, distributed compute and on-chain execution. Its architecture has four layers: infrastructure, ABox/node, agent, and application. The stated use cases include AI-powered trading, prediction markets, agent marketplaces and data markets. ABox nodes are intended to provide compute and execution infrastructure for agents. Astarter's roadmap places the BNB Chain launch and $AST TGE in 2026 Q3, with AI DEX, Agent Marketplace and additional multi-chain functionality planned for Q4.
2. Tokenomics Allocation Supply Vesting / unlock Ecosystem & Community 42% Ecosystem/community incentives Ecosystem Development 15% Published allocation ASTARTER Team 12% 12-month cliff + 72-month linear Treasury / Market Cap Management 10% Published allocation Early Circulation 10% 100% liquid at TGE Investment Institutions & R&D 5% 12-month cliff + 72-month linear Node Airdrop 4% 20% at TGE, 80% linear over 10 months Community Incentives 1% Published allocation Exchange Airdrop 1% Published allocation Astarter states a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 $AST. A launch-price-based FDV cannot be independently calculated from the cited primary sources without a definitive TGE price. FDV = token price × 1,000,000,000.
3. Dilution / unlock-risk model Team and Investment Institutions & R&D; together represent 17% of total supply (170M tokens). Both allocations use a 12-month cliff followed by 72-month linear release. After the cliff, the mechanical monthly release is approximately 1.67M team tokens plus 0.69M institution/R&D; tokens, or about 2.36M tokens/month combined. The Node Airdrop is 40M tokens: 20% at TGE and 80% linearly over 10 months. If the published allocation is applied exactly, that is 8M tokens at TGE and approximately 3.2M tokens per month during the remaining ten-month period. These are mechanical schedule calculations, not predictions of market selling.
4. Team / backing verification Astarter's official FAQ identifies backing from OKX Ventures, EMURGO, Adaverse, MH Ventures, Avatar Capital, 316VC, CRT Capital and Megala Ventures. It also identifies advisors including Sergio Sanchez of EMURGO, John O'Connor of IOHK and Darren Camas of IPOR Labs. These statements should be treated as project claims unless independently confirmed through the named organizations' own primary sources.
5. Contracts / audit status Astarter's security page states that older Cardano-era contracts received a CertiK audit in 2023, covering 25 files and producing eight findings. The project explicitly says that audit does not cover the newer Web4/AI-agent architecture. Astarter states that the BNB Chain $AST token, ABox node sale, staking, team/institutional vesting and treasury multisig components were planned for audits before TGE. Accordingly, the final audit reports and deployed bytecode should be checked before treating the new-contract security work as complete.

Key risks • TGE-status risk: The official roadmap places TGE in Q3 2026. Since the current date is September 30, 2026, exact TGE status should be verified before describing the project as definitively pre-TGE. • Audit-coverage risk: The older audit does not cover the new Web4/AI architecture; final new-contract audits and deployed bytecode need verification. • Unlock/dilution risk: The 12-month cliff followed by 72-month linear release leaves substantial team/institutional supply locked initially but capable of gradual release over six years. The Node Airdrop has a more concentrated first-year release. • Product-execution risk: Several major applications are scheduled for later roadmap phases, so the economic model depends partly on future product deployment and network activity. Verifier caveat This dossier should not be submitted as proof that Astarter meets a strict 'no public raise / no active TGE' requirement. The official material reviewed indicates a scheduled 2026 Q3 TGE and an active A-Core allocation sale, creating a potential eligibility conflict. Disclosure Replace this before submission with your actual disclosure: state whether you hold $AST, an A-Core allocation, or have another financial incentive. Do not claim 'no position' unless that is true.
