**Web3 Network Astar Announces Pre-Deposit Campaign**
In a significant move to accelerate the growth of its ecosystem, Astar Network has unveiled a pre-deposit campaign for its Soneium mainnet launch. This groundbreaking initiative emphasizes user ownership through ERC-6551 token-bound accounts, effectively locking assets until the mainnet launch.
Upon the successful launch of the mainnet, participants can unlock their assets and seamlessly migrate them to Soneium using interoperability protocols such as LayerZero and Chainlink CCIP. This bold step further solidifies Astar’s commitment to empowering its community with early access to innovative decentralized applications (dApps).
The pre-deposit campaign represents a major milestone in Astar’s mission to connect people to the web3 universe and bring this transformative technology to billions worldwide. By providing an early opportunity for users to participate in Soneium’s infrastructure, Astar is not only driving ecosystem growth but also ensuring a seamless transition to its new infrastructure.
Maarten Henskens, Head of Astar Foundation, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating: “Astar Surge represents a significant milestone in our mission to drive global adoption of the Astar Network and its representative token, ASTR. By empowering our community with early access to groundbreaking Soneium dApps, we’re creating lasting value for all current and future holders.”
In addition to this strategic partnership, Astar is further strengthening ties with prominent Soneium projects like Yay!, Sake Finance, Untitled Bank, and SoneX.
