Benefits of Astar

About Astar

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. Through dApp Staking, token holders support their preferred applications while earning rewards, thus fostering ecosystem growth. Transactions on the network require fees, contributing to network sustainability. Furthermore, Astar embraces decentralized decision-making through on-chain governance, where every community member has a voice in shaping the network's future, facilitated by the Astar token.

In essence, Astar Network offers a robust platform that prioritizes developer incentives, scalability, interoperability, and decentralized governance, driving the evolution of the blockchain industry towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.
