Questions, answered
What is Astarter?
Astarter is Web4 AI infrastructure · a decentralized network that combines distributed compute with on-chain execution so autonomous AI agents can operate, coordinate, and generate economic value across chains.
What is an ABox node?
ABox is the core AI compute device of the Astarter network. It provides compute and an execution environment for AI agents, supports multiple agents in parallel, and shares in protocol revenue from AI agent execution fees, Agent Marketplace, AI DEX, and Prediction Market fees.
How much does an ABox node cost?
Three tiers: LITE at $500 (1,333 $AST tokens, 12,000 slots), PRO at $1,000 (2,900 tokens, 4,137 slots), and MAX at $3,000 (10,500 tokens, 1,142 slots). All tiers include revenue sharing and ABox presale whitelist access. PRO is the recommended tier.
What is the total supply of $AST tokens?
1,000,000,000 $AST. Distribution: 42% Ecosystem & Community, 15% Ecosystem Development, 12% ASTARTER Team (12-month cliff + 72-month linear release), 10% Treasury / Market Capitalization Management, 10% Early Circulation (100% liquid at TGE, no vesting), 5% Investment Institutions & R&D (12-month cliff + 72-month linear release), 4% Node Airdrop, 1% Community Incentives, 1% Exchange Airdrop.

BNB Chain Mainnet Launch and TGE (Token Generation Event) are scheduled for 2026 Q3. The same phase also delivers Tokenomics Live, Strategic Partnerships, ABox Node Plan, the Astarter Grant Program, and native interaction between AI agents and AI compute nodes. AI DEX, Agent Marketplace, multi-chain integration, and more compute nodes follow in 2026 Q4.
What is the canonical Astarter domain?
The canonical domain is https://astarter.io. The domain astarter.ai is a third-party integration error and should not be used.
