ecosystem, supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, and multiple layer1 blockchains. Polkadot’s Relaychain doesn’t support smart contracts by design. All dApp developers in the Polkadot ecosystem need to use a smart contract Polkadot Parachain. In addition, Astar supports multiple L1 blockchains. Astar already has organic dev growth with teams building synthetic assets, stablecoins (using ETH and AVA as collateral), and a multichain DEX.

Our Builders Program is o ff i cially supported by Microsoft Japan. Announcement Astar Network graduated the UC Berkeley Xceleration Program. In 2021, Astar started giving grants to the program to incentivize top devs. Shiden Network, the canary network of Astar became the 3rd Kusama Parachain in July 2021.

• EVM compatibility is everywhere. This is a default feature for Polkadot Parachains. • Platforms are all about “network e ff ects” but generally there are no fi nancial incentives for early developers to deploy smart contracts. • Polkadot connects blockchains. But technically, Polkadot only connects blockchains built on Substrate. We need a central hub that connects various layer1 blockchain not built on Substrate. Stake Technologies All Rights Reserved
Network. By building a product on Astar, developers can earn $ASTA tokens as basic income from block rewards based on their performance and decentralized voting. This serves as a strong incentive for developers to choose Astar. Astar supports both EVM and WASM. Solidity, Parity ink! and other WASM compatible smart contracts can be deployed on Astar. Smart contracts on EVM can interact with those on WASM and vice versa. Astar is supporting Plasma and Rollups. Rollups contracts on Ethereum can be used on Astar as well.

dApps and build infrastructure. (Basic income for all developers aka dApp Staking). In summary, devs can earn Astar tokens by making products, which is based on their performance and decentralized governance. Our token holders can stake tokens on dApps and infrastructure. (e.g. stake $ASTA on Uniswap) Based on nominations and on-chain data, block rewards will be distributed to developers. 👉 We built an incentive for devs to make dApps and build infrastructure on Astar. 40% of block rewards go to developers. If the valuation of Astar is $1B, $40M worth of Astar tokens will be distributed to developers each year!! 👉 We built an incentive for devs to join our ecosystem as early as possible. The earlier they join the ecosystem, the quicker they can win market share, and thus receive higher rewards from protocol. 👉 We’re preparing for big network e ff ects. The more dApps that are created, the more tokens will be locked on Astar. This creates a positive feedback loop on the price of $ASTA. The higher the price, the more money you can distribute to developers. Therefore, we can incentivize more developers, thus there will be more dApps, then the price of $ASTA grows, etc. ASTAR’S NETWORK EFFECTS dApp Staking is the reason why we will win.

is the future of smart contracts, and Parity Technologies is making a smart contract language for Polkadot called ink!. But since EVM is important right now (many chains use it - BSC, Polygon, AVA, etc). So, Astar supports both WASM and EVM. Astar Network supports both EVM and WASM. This means that developers can deploy both Solidity and ink! smart contracts, and they can use both Ethereum and Polkadot tools.

develop an Optimistic Virtual Machine and ZK Rollups on Polkadot. Polkadot itself is a scaling solution. Hence, layer2 will not be needed in the short- term. However, we are building a public blockchain for billions of people. At mass adoption, layer2 will be needed in the Polkadot ecosystem. Therefore, we are doing R&D on Rollups. Our Layer2 work is not our #1 priority, but we have some developments. Here are some of our Github repos. 👉 ZK Rollups: https://github.com/PlasmNetwork/ZKRollups 👉 ZK Plonk: https://github.com/PlasmNetwork/plonk 👉 Optimistic Virtual Machine: https://github.com/PlasmNetwork/ovmi Stake Technologies All Rights Reserved

to manage multiple assets and developers to deploy smart contracts. In the dApps section, all projects will be listed up so that token holders can directly stake their tokens on their favorite projects. We will add an Ethereum bridge section, a swap section, and so on to make the all-in-one Astar and Shiden ecosystem portal. Stake Technologies All Rights Reserved
Chain Governance Every on-chain transaction takes a fee (used for gas). Token holders can stake $ASTA on a dApp (e.g stake token on SushiSwap). Thus, the staker can earn more $ASTA. $ASTA is used for facilitating the governance such as voting. Token holders can stake $ASTA on the network through Nominated Proof of Stake. By doing so, the staker can earn more $ASTA for securing the network. Astar Network is going to support ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups. L2 users will need to deposit $ASTA on L1 to use L2 applications. Stake Technologies All Rights Reserved
