Astar
Astar is a scalable decentralized blockchain for the next big Web3 innovations.

What is Astar?
Astar is a scalable blockchain network that provides infrastructure for building apps with EVM and WASM smart contracts, offering developers true interoperability with cross-consensus messaging (XCM) and a cross-virtual machine (XVM). Astar's unique Build2Earn model empowers developers to get paid through a dApp staking mechanism for the code they write and apps they build. Astar is also a web3 collective building products that bring users onchain through the Astar Stack, an all-in-one product stack for onchain finance. The Astar Collective accelerates web3 adoption by bridging Astar Network and Superchain ecosystems starting with Soneium, enabling interoperability, decentralized governance, and token utility across enterprise and consumer applications.
