📶Why Astar Network?

Astar Network's mission is to provide a scalable, interoperable, and decentralized application platform that defines and realizes the new form of the web: Web3.0

Astar Network is a dApp hub on Polkadot that supports Ethereum, WebAssembly, and layer 2 solutions like ZK Rollups. Astar aims to be a multi-chain smart contract platform that will support multiple blockchains and virtual machines. So, that's a win-win for us.

The reason developers choose Astar and Shiden is simple. They can earn tokens and develop their products at the same time! Blockchain and cryptography are all about incentives. We think dApp staking is a simple but powerful incentive.

There are several scalable and efficient networks available but we choose Astar Network because, the traditional social structure allows people with authority to monopolize information, and history has proven that these people will bend the rules to their benefit. Even if people claim that their system is fair, it still lacks transparency, proving that everything is still conceived upon pillars of sand called trust. In contrast to this, blockchain provides a decentralized system that does not require a single point of failure and makes a transparent and trustless system. This is possible because blockchain is a system that allows anyone to view, prove, and host with a highly fault-tolerant consensus mechanism. ‌
