| Astar Onchain Governance is a decentralized mechanism where ASTR token holders can propose, discuss, and vote on important changes and initiatives within the **Astar Collective**. This onchain governance system empowers stakeholders to directly influence key network decisions, including protocol improvements, runtime updates, treasury funding requests, and the management of dApp Staking applications. | ||
|
|
||
| To interact with the onchain governance, users have two primary interfaces to choose from: [Subsquare](https://www.subsquare.io/) or the traditional [Polkadot.js](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/) interface. Subsquare provides a user-friendly interface for governance participation, while Polkadot.js offers a more technical approach. | ||
| The governance system ensures that decisions are made collectively and transparently by the community, reflecting the interests of the network's stakeholders. Proposals may cover a wide range of topics that affect the network's development, security, and long-term sustainability. To participate in Astar onchain governance, users have two primary interfaces available: [**Subsquare**](https://astar.subsquare.io/) and the traditional [**Polkadot.js**](https://dotapps-io.ipns.dweb.link/?rpc=wss://astar.public.blastapi.io#/explorer) interface. Subsquare provides a user-friendly interface designed for broader community participation, while Polkadot.js offers a more technical approach for advanced users. |

| Token holders are the core of Astar Network’s governance system, holding primary decision-making power through their ASTR tokens. They play a central role in shaping the network’s evolution by proposing and voting on runtime upgrades, treasury funding, and referenda that influence key parameters. The stake-weighted and conviction voting systems allow them to increase their influence by locking tokens for longer periods, encouraging long-term alignment with the network’s success. |
