Astar Network is a multi-chain dApp hub on Polkadot, supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, layer2 solutions and multiple layer1 blockchains. Since Polkadot Relaychain doesn’t support smart contracts by design, Astar provides dApp developers a high-performance smart contract platform with scalability and interoperability between multiple virtual machines and layer1 blockchains. Astar has organic dev growth with teams building synthetic assets, stablecoins, a multichain DEX, etc.
