Following the decision of the Astra Nova (RVV) team to introduce changes to the token distribution schedule after the sale had concluded, we would like to clarify what this means for investors and what actions we have taken in this matter.
What is the Astra Nova project and what round did it conduct on KangaStarter?
Astra Nova is a web3 gaming project creating an expansive world with its own story and economy, where players can gain real-world value through gameplay and co-creation of the universe.
The project is based on two tokens: Revive Token ($RVV) – used for in-game transactions, NFT purchases, and tournament participation, and Governance Token ($GTKN) – enabling participation in the DAO and joint decision-making regarding the future development of the Astra Nova world.
The sale of RVV tokens on the KangaStarter platform took place on April 17–18, 2024. According to the original terms, 8% of purchased tokens were to be made available after the transaction, while the remaining portion was to be released daily over 365 days, starting on November 15, 2024.
Timeline of events
After the sale concluded and before the planned TGE, the Astra Nova team introduced changes to the token distribution terms.
On October 20, 2025, the team published an announcement regarding this matter. The changes were made without prior agreement with KangaStarter.
KangaStarter deemed the project’s actions a violation of the cooperation terms and requested a full refund for all round participants.
The project team confirmed its readiness to carry out the refund; however, as of the publication of this statement, the funds have not yet been transferred.
Description of the changes introduced by the project
The Astra Nova project altered the token distribution schedule compared to the terms presented to investors during the sale.
The changes included:
- the addition of a 7-month cliff period,
- the extension of the vesting period to 12 months.
These changes were imposed without agreement with partners, which constitutes a violation of prior arrangements with KangaStarter and the principles of transparent cooperation within IEOs.
Implications for investors
The refund process is currently underway. KangaStarter remains in constant contact with the project team and is supervising the transfer process.
Once refunds are completed, all participants of the round will be immediately informed.
Kanga’s position
KangaStarter always places the interests of its IEO participants first. In situations where a project introduces changes that could negatively affect investors, Kanga takes specific actions to protect their funds.
These include, among others, discussions with the project team or, if necessary, actions leading to fund refunds.
Project’s position
