What is Astar and How Does It Work?
Astar Network is a multi-chain smart contract platform built as a parachain on the Polkadot network. Launched in 2022, Astar was developed to solve blockchain interoperability challenges by creating a unified platform where developers can build decentralised applications using multiple virtual machines and programming languages.
The platform supports both Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and WebAssembly (WASM) smart contracts, allowing developers to use familiar tools like Solidity while also supporting newer technologies like Rust. Astar’s unique architecture enables cross-chain functionality and aims to bridge different blockchain ecosystems, making it easier for developers to create dApps that can interact across multiple networks.
