Astroon is a character-driven Web3 entertainment project developed by Waker Games. It aims to build an interconnected universe that integrates blockchain technology with gaming, an animated series, and community-owned digital assets. [1] [2]
Astroon is being developed as a cross-media intellectual property (IP) centered around its main characters, Astro and Roon. The project's stated goal is to become a "next-generation digital Disney," combining storytelling with Web3 principles like community governance and shared ownership. The ecosystem is designed to feature its characters across mobile games, an animated series, digital collectibles, and physical merchandise. [2] [3]
The project's business model is a hybrid, merging traditional Web2 revenue streams from in-game advertising and merchandise sales with Web3 components like Playable Profile Picture (PPFP) NFT sales and a native utility token. A portion of the Web2-generated revenue is designated for a token burn mechanism to support the project's tokenomics. [1] [4] As of late 2025, Astroon reported significant user engagement metrics, including over 250,000 games played, more than 156 million views on its GIPHY channel, and over 5,000 pieces of user-generated content (UGC) on platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

The project is developed by Waker Games, an independent game studio founded in 2021. The studio focuses on creating casual games and employs a business model that merges Web2 and Web3 attributes. [7] [8]
Waker Games is the Istanbul-based indie game studio developing the Astroon project. The studio was founded in 2021 by a team of seven game developers. It operates as a privately held company. The studio's business model is centered on generating revenue from a combination of Free-to-Play (F2P) and Free-to-Win (F2W) advertising, sales of playable NFTs, and physical merchandise. In addition to the Astroon-related titles, Waker Games' portfolio includes other mobile games such as Wild Claw and Spell Sort, with plans announced to expand into PC game development. [7] [8]
Astroon's ecosystem comprises several interconnected digital and physical products designed to create a cohesive brand experience. [4]
The project features a portfolio of mobile-first casual games.
Astroon produces an animated series featuring the adventures of its main characters, Astro and Roon. The content is distributed on the project's official YouTube channel, which is designated as "Kids approved." The series aims to expand the lore of the Astroon universe. As of late 2025, the channel had over 6,400 subscribers and more than 50 videos. [9]
The project plans for multiple NFT collections with distinct utilities integrated into the ecosystem.
Astroon's ecosystem is defined by several features that connect its products with its community and economic model.
The Astroon ecosystem is designed as an interconnected loop where each component reinforces the others. The central characters and lore are established through the animated series, which builds brand recognition and directs users to the games. The games, in turn, provide utility for the native token and NFTs, increasing user engagement. NFTs serve a dual purpose as digital collectibles and functional assets that grant holders in-game abilities, governance weight, and a share of IP-related revenue from physical products. The entire system is tied together by the native token, which functions as the primary medium for transactions, governance, and rewards. [4] [10]
The Astroon platform and its assets are designed for several use cases:
These use cases are supported by the project's various products and features, from its games and animated series to its NFT collections. [1] [2]
Astroon's architecture is a hybrid of Web2 and Web3 technologies. The project's games are developed as mobile-first applications, making them accessible to a broad casual gaming audience through standard app stores. These centralized applications are connected to decentralized blockchain elements, including the native token and NFT assets, which are integrated with the BNB Chain. The overall structure facilitates digital ownership and an on-chain economy. The project also leverages third-party Web2 platforms like Telegram for its Astroon Arcade and other community engagement tools. A key architectural component is the mechanism that bridges Web2 revenue to the Web3 economy via a smart contract designed to execute token burns. [1] [8] [4]
The native utility and governance token of the Astroon ecosystem is specified as $ASTN in the project's tokenomics documentation, though it is also commonly referred to as $AST in other marketing materials. The token has a total supply of 1 billion. [11]
The total supply of $ASTN is allocated as follows:
Tokens allocated to various parties are subject to vesting schedules. The Team, Development, Advisory, and Marketing allocations have a 6 to 12-month cliff followed by linear vesting.
The $ASTN token is designed with multiple functions within the ecosystem:
The details regarding tokenomics, allocation, and utilities are primarily sourced from the project's official documentation. [11] [1]
$ASTN token holders are granted voting rights to influence the project's direction through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) structure. Holders can vote on matters such as game development priorities, new features, and content design. According to the project, holders of its Membership NFTs receive amplified governance rights. [4]
Astroon has established partnerships with the following entities in the technology and Web3 sectors:
This list of partners has been consistently presented across the project's official website and documentation. [1] [2]
