With Soneium Mainnet now up and running, Astar Network is working with flagship DeFi ecosystem projects on the chain to bolster adoption.
To do this, they’ve officially launched the ACS (Astar Contribution Score Campaign), the latest initiative on Sonieum designed to draw in new users and incentivise existing ones.
QuickSwap is excited to be one of the DeFi protocols participating in this amazing initiative, where users can swap on Soneium to earn daily ACS points that can ultimately be claimed for ASTR token rewards!
The total reward pool is up to 100 million ASTR tokens, and the campaign will run from Thursday, February 20 until Friday, May 30, 2025.

ACS Campaign Objective
The ACS Campaign is designed to engage users and projects within the Soneium ecosystem while enhancing the utility of ASTR on Soneium, the native token of Astar Network.
This will be done by rewarding participants with up to 100 million ASTR tokens through the duration of the 3-month campaign, and it will be across 10 different seasons.
Goals and objectives:
- Utility expansion of ASTR
- Increase in ASTR holders on chain
- Deeper strategic alignment with Soneium
- Preparation for broader adoption across the entire Superchain ecosystem
Rewards will be distributed to active participants across dApps that are deployed on Soneium, with QuickSwap being one of them. ACS Rewards accumulated by each user can be used to claim ASTR tokens (more on this in the last section below).

Earning ACS Rewards

There will be a total supply of 1 billion ACS will be allocated as follows:
- TVL-Based Allocation (70%): The majority of the scores are distributed based on TVL, meaning LPs and active participants receive greater incentives proportionate to their contributions
- Discretionary Allocation (26.5%): This portion is separately allocated to drive targeted ecosystem growth beyond pure liquidity measures
- Consumer & Gaming Applications (15%): Encouraging the adoption of ASTR within Web3 gaming and consumer applications
- DeFi Applications (11.5%): Supporting DeFi protocols and incentivising broader participation beyond TVL - such as QuickSwap
3.5% of the ACS score pool is allocated for specific ecosystem initiatives:
- Astar Surge (2.5%): Scores for projects that participated in Astar Surge and bridged their liquidity to Soneium, ensuring continued engagement
- Soneium Meme Spark Contest (0.5%): Incentivising community-driven creativity through memes
