Astar Network addresses limitations faced by individual blockchains by leveraging the power of Polkadot. Here's what Astar offers:

• Scalability through Polkadot: Astar, as a parachain on Polkadot, benefits from Polkadot's shared security and scalability features. This allows Astar to process a high volume of transactions while maintaining security.
• EVM and WASM Compatibility: Astar supports both the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and WebAssembly (WASM) for smart contract development. This caters to a wider range of developers familiar with either environment, fostering a more inclusive ecosystem.
• Multichain Interoperability: Astar facilitates seamless communication and asset transfer between different blockchains within the Polkadot ecosystem. This enables developers to build dApps that leverage functionalities from various chains.
• Unique Features: Astar incorporates innovative features like zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) for scalable and privacy-preserving smart contract execution and a "Build2Earn" model that incentivizes developers through token rewards for their contributions.
