About Blockchains
About Astar
Astar Network is a layer-1 blockchain built on Substrate that supports both EVM and WebAssembly smart contracts. It is designed to be a smart contract hub for the Polkadot ecosystem, providing developers with a one-stop shop for building and deploying dApps.
About Polkadot
Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
