Astar Substrate is a multi-chain decentralized application layer 1 on Polkadot, incorporating Ethereum Virtual Machine and WebAssembly. The platform supports various decentralized applications like DeFi, NFTs and DAOs.
Astar Network utilizes the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to ensure compatibility with Ethereum's extensive ecosystem, allowing developers to easily deploy Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) on Astar. This integration is key to Astar's vision of an interoperable, multi-chain network. Additionally, Astar Network mitigates common Ethereum issues such as high gas fees and network congestion by implementing layer 2 solutions and a more efficient consensus mechanism, offering enhanced scalability and reduced transaction costs.
