Astar Network is preparing to adopt Polkadot’s Asynchronous Backing in June, cutting block time from ~12s to ~6s. This change aims to deliver faster performance for developers and users. Alongside the speed boost, ASTR emissions per block will be reduced by 50% without affecting overall inflation. Staking and governance lockups will remain unchanged. The upgrade promises higher throughput, improved user experience for dApps, and more efficient block production. Developers relying on 12-second intervals are advised to review their integrations.
