Why?
Astar Network is a parachain platform that connects to the Polkadot ecosystem. It allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 projects leveraging Polkadot's security and scalability.
What is it for?
Astar Network uses Substrate, Polkadot's "smart contract" platform. This allows developers to create dApps with popular programming languages such as Solidity, Rust and C++. Astar Network also offers a set of tools and services that enable developers to seamlessly integrate their dApps with other Polkadot parachains.
By Whom Was It Created?
Astar Network was developed by Stake Technologies, a blockchain company based in Japan. Stake Technologies was one of the original founding members of the Polkadot Foundation and contributed to the development of the Substrate platform.
When did it started?
Astar Network launched into the Polkadot ecosystem in December 2021. Since then, hundreds of dApp and Web3 projects have been created on the platform.
Why is it important?
Astar Network helps make the Polkadot ecosystem more accessible to developers and users. The platform allows developers to easily create dApps and benefit from Polkadot's security and scalability. Astar Network also creates new opportunities for developers by providing seamless integration with other parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem.
