Additional Information about Astar (ASTR)

What is Astar (ASTR)?

Astar is a blockchain project focused on building scalable infrastructure for Web3 applications. The project started within the Polkadot ecosystem and has grown into a broader multichain infrastructure active on, among others, Polkadot, Ethereum, and Soneium. The network’s native token is ASTR. This token is used within the ecosystem, including for staking, network functionality, and supporting applications through Astar’s dApp Staking model.

Astar aims to help developers build decentralized applications that can take advantage of different blockchain environments. While many blockchains focus on a single technical standard, Astar supports both EVM smart contracts and WASM smart contracts. This allows developers to build with technologies aligned with Ethereum, while also experimenting with other smart contract environments. The official Astar documentation refers to support for both the EVM and WASM tech stacks.

An important part of Astar is its connection with Soneium, an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs. Astar is increasingly positioning itself as part of a broader ecosystem in which ASTR is used not only on Astar itself, but also on Soneium. For example, users can participate in Astar dApp Staking with ASTR via Soneium.

How does Astar (ASTR) work?

Astar works as an infrastructure layer for decentralized applications. The project combines multiple blockchain technologies, including Polkadot, Ethereum compatibility, and integrations with Soneium. This is how Astar aims to give developers and users access to a broader Web3 ecosystem rather than a single isolated blockchain environment.

A key technical component is smart contract support. Astar gives developers the ability to build applications with the EVM, the smart contract environment known from Ethereum. In addition, Astar also supports WASM, a technology that can give developers more flexibility when building blockchain applications. This combination makes Astar suitable for projects that consider interoperability and scalability important.

In addition, Astar uses a model called dApp Staking. Here, users can stake their ASTR to support applications within the ecosystem. Instead of only rewarding validators, dApp Staking is designed to also incentivize developers and projects within the network. The Astar documentation explains that users can participate in this staking mechanism with their ASTR via Soneium.

Who are the founders of Astar (ASTR)?

Astar Network was founded by Sota Watanabe, a Japanese entrepreneur and blockchain developer. Astar was previously known as Plasm Network and was later renamed Astar Network. Forbes describes Watanabe as the founder of Astar Network, formerly Plasm, and calls Astar a multichain smart contract hub within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Watanabe also founded Stake Technologies, the company behind the early development of Astar. In addition, he is involved with Startale, a Web3 company that, together with Sony Group Corporation, plays a major role in the development of Soneium. The official Soneium documentation states that Soneium was developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs and was founded by Sony Group Corporation and Startale.

Because of this background, Astar has built a particularly strong position in Japan and within the broader Asian Web3 ecosystem. The collaboration with Sony and Startale has further broadened Astar’s role from a Polkadot parachain to a project that is also more closely connected to Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure.

What is Soneium?

Soneium is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs (the blockchain company of the well-known technology and media conglomerate Sony). The network is built to make Ethereum more scalable and user-friendly by processing transactions off Ethereum Layer 1 and then settling them back to Ethereum. According to the official Soneium website, Soneium is an Ethereum Layer 2 protocol that uses Optimism’s Superchain technology.

Sony describes Soneium as a Layer 2 solution that runs on top of Ethereum and helps address issues such as slow transaction processing and high costs on Ethereum Layer 1. Soneium uses Optimism’s OP Stack, making the network EVM-compatible, scalable, and developer-friendly.

For Astar, Soneium is important because Astar is increasingly expanding its ecosystem toward Ethereum and Soneium. Astar has indicated that the official launch of Soneium marks a new chapter for Astar’s expansion, with Astar focusing more strongly on interoperability and scalability within decentralized ecosystems.

Astar vs. Ethereum

Astar and Ethereum both involve smart contracts and decentralized applications, but they play different roles within the crypto ecosystem. Ethereum is the largest and best-known smart contract blockchain. The network forms the foundation for many DeFi protocols, NFT projects, DAOs, and Layer 2 networks. Astar, on the other hand, is designed as a multichain smart contract platform focused on interoperability, developer support, and connections with ecosystems such as Polkadot, Ethereum, and Soneium.

A key difference is scale. Ethereum is a Layer 1 blockchain with a lot of activity, but that can drive up transaction costs and network congestion. Astar aims to add value by creating connections between multiple ecosystems and by giving developers additional capabilities, such as EVM and WASM support. Soneium plays an important role here, because this network as an Ethereum Layer 2 is designed to process transactions faster and cheaper than on Ethereum Layer 1.

In short, Ethereum is the broader base layer for smart contracts, while Astar focuses on connecting, supporting, and expanding Web3 applications across multiple networks. Astar therefore does not only compete directly with Ethereum, but also builds on Ethereum infrastructure via Soneium and other integrations.
