ASTR, Astar Network

The strongest earthquake in the area since 1885, the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1, 2024, recorded magnitude of 7.6 has caused significant damage and a tsunami. It was a cruel start of the year for the families living in the affected area . We Astar Foundation and @StartaleHQ facilitated a crypto donation drive in January and February, and we're delighted to announce that the donation was successfully processed. With the support of everyone who contribute, we were able to donate around ¥8,300,000 (≒$53,000) to those in need. Noto Peninsula is navigating the challenges of reconstruction, however we're confident that the funds donated by the Astar community will make a significant impact.
