PANews reported on October 7 that Astar Network announced on its official X account that Astar Network is being upgraded, thanks to the Polkadot SDK. Astar will seamlessly transition to Agile Coretime at the end of the current lease and purchase block space as needed. This change will make it faster, more convenient, and more affordable for projects to join Polkadot and connect to Astar. Astar Network mentioned that 350 million ASTR tokens (5% of the initial supply) had previously been destroyed because with the arrival of Agile Coretime, the tokens reserved for the time slot auction were no longer needed. .
