## TL:DR

This batched proposal is to Accept/Open an HRMP channel with Astar and to register the ASTR token

## Summary

We propose to open a bi-directional channel between Moonbeam and Astar . Initially, the main use case will be to transfer GLMR and ASTR between the two chains, but it can be further expanded to other use cases. The proposal also includes the ASTR asset registration as xcASTR, with the following details:
 - Multilocation: *{ "parents": 1, "interior": {"X1": { "Parachain": 2006}}}*
 - Decimals: *18*
 - Name: *ASTR*
 - Symbol: *xcASTR*

xcASTR will have the following asset ID and XC-20 address:
 - Asset ID: 224077081838586484055667086558292981199
 - XC-20 address:  0xffffffffa893ad19e540e172c10d78d4d479b5cf

## Proposal

Proposal #49 with the following hash: *0xe43d58f9a9f02186402e830ab17ffa7c43caf0926565e35cb9e41237a8ff951e*

## Technical details:

The procedure for opening the channels is as follows:

 - Astar: already proposed to open an HRMP channel to Moonbeam
 - Moonbeam: democracy batched proposal:
     - Open Moonbeam to Astar HRMP channel
     - Accept Astar to Moonbeam HRMP channel
     - Register ASTR asset as an XC-20
 - Astar: democracy proposal to accept Moonbeam to Astar HRMP channel

Once the HRMP channels are ready, XCM based cross-chain transfer will be possible. The extrinsics that need to be executed on the relay chain, are:
 - To open the HRMP channel from Moonbeam: *hrmp.hrmpInitOpenChannel(recipient: 2006, proposedMaxCapacity: 1000, proposedMaxMessageSize: 102400)*, which its hex-encoded call data is *0x3c00d6070000e803000000900100*
 - To accept the HRMP channel to Moonbeam: *hrmp.hrmpAcceptOpenChannel(sender: 2006)* , which hex-encoded call data is *0x3c01d6070000*

The *proposedMaxCapacity *and *proposedMaxMessageSize *are set to the values of Polkadot’s *configuration.activeConfig.hrmpChannelMaxCapacity* and *configuration.activeConfig.hrmpChannelMaxMessageSize* values, respectively.

These extrinsics need to be called from the parachain’s sovereign account as origin, via a democracy proposal. The proposal will use *polkadotXcm* pallet to send XCM message to the Relay Chain with the following items:
 - Withdraw asset: take funds out of the Sovereign Account of the origin parachain (in the relay chain) to a holding state
 - Buy execution: buys execution time from the relay chain, to execute the XCM message
 - Transact: provides the call data to be executed
 - Deposit asset (optional): refunds the leftover funds after the execution. If this is not provided, no refunds will be carried out

The asset will be registered with the metadata described in the summary. The *setAssetUnitsPerSecond* was calculated using the value for ASTR value on August 12th 2022, targeting a XCM transaction cost of 0.02$.

```

As a prerequisite, the parachain’s sovereign account must contain at least 20 DOT to be locked as collateral (10 for each channel direction), plus some DOT to pay for XCM execution fees.

Send a batch of dispatch calls and atomically execute them.
The whole transaction will rollback and fail if any of the calls failed.

May be called from any origin.

- `calls`: The calls to be dispatched from the same origin. The number of call must not
  exceed the constant: `batched_calls_limit` (available in constant metadata).

If origin is root then call are dispatch without checking origin filter. (This includes
bypassing `frame_system::Config::BaseCallFilter`).
