What Is Astar Network (Astar)?

Astar Network(Plasm has rebranded to Astar Network for becoming a Polkadot-native dApp Hub), a scalable and interoperable infrastructure for Web3.0. Since Astar Network is built on the Parity's Substrate framework, it can be a future Polkadot parachain that also acts as a scalable smart contract platform. The design of Polkadot Relaychain does not support smart contracts. This allows Astar to fill in this gap.   

Core Features of Astar Network (Astar)

The Astar Network has three additional features in addition to the existing Substrate modules:

Operator Trading
This is enhanced smart contract owner management which allows the tokenization of contracts and transfer of contract ownership.

dApps Rewards
This is the reward system for dApps (including Astar Applications) developers. It is a blockchain-specific monetization model for Web3.0 and maybe even the next generation.

Multi-Lockdrop
Lockdrop is a method for distributing tokens. Participants lock tokens from other blockchains (DOT, KSM, or ETH) for a certain duration. Native tokens are then distributed to participants and the opportunity cost that comes is taken as collateral. Repeat this multiple times to distribute the native token with value to a massive number of token holders.
