This proposal initiates the community vote to elect the next Community Representative to the Astar Community Council. 🏛️

Following the recent departure of AstarHood, this election is essential to maintain the Astar Community Council. The Community Council is a governance body of six members, each playing a vital role in managing the Community Treasury, overseeing UCG grant proposals, evaluating and listing dApps for dApp Staking, reviewing Ecosystem Agent Tips, and participating in governance votes and onchain operations. Council members dedicate significant time each week to these responsibilities, ensuring that the interests of the entire ecosystem are represented and that decisions are made transparently and efficiently. 📝

By participating in this vote, you help ensure that the Council remains accountable, transparent, and truly representative of our diverse community. The elected member will play a key role in managing treasury resources, supporting ecosystem growth, and upholding the values that make Astar unique. This is your opportunity to directly influence the direction of Astar’s governance and bring in new energy and ideas from the community. ✨

Please review the applications of both candidates and cast your vote for the individual you believe will best represent the interests and values of the Astar ecosystem.

Dear Astar Community,  

OpenSquare has successfully integrated **Astar Network Native** and **EVM** into its offchain governance platform. To ensure everything works as expected, we would like to run a **short community test**.  

We invite you to:  
- Cast your vote using both **Astar Native** and **Astar EVM** accounts  
- Provide feedback on your voting experience (ease of use, UI/UX, any bugs/issues) in the `Discussions` section below.

This is **not a governance decision**, but a **technical test** to validate the integration and improve the platform.  

🗓 **Voting Duration:** 2 days  

🙏 Your feedback will help us finalize the integration and ensure smooth future offchain voting on Astar.
