Astar Network, Japan's premier smart contract platform, supports both EVM and WebAssembly environments, ensuring seamless interoperability through its innovative Cross-Virtual Machine. It caters to a diverse range of developers, providing them with familiar tools and languages. Backed by Polkadot's shared security, Astar not only thrives within its ecosystem but also drives international corporate adoption and fosters consumer interest in Web3 technologies.
The native token of Astar Network, Astar Token (ASTR), plays a pivotal role in its ecosystem, serving three primary functions: dApp Staking, Transactions, and On-chain Governance.
