What is Astar (ASTR)?
Astar Network is a smart contracts platform that offers true interoperability and a Build2Earn model for developers. It addresses issues of scalability, interoperability, and lack of developer incentive in the blockchain industry. The network aims to provide a platform where developers can build dApps without having to worry about infrastructure and scalability.
Astar Network was released on Polkadot in 2019 as Plasm. The project had a rebrand to Astar in 2021.
How Astar (ASTR) Works
Astar is a dapp platform that supports both Wasm and EVM smart contracts. It also allows hybrid Cross-VM dApps to be able to call into one another. The network provides native access to the Polkadot ecosystem through its parachain slot, and has asset bridges as well as general message passing protocols integrated with other major blockchains such as Ethereum and BSC.
Astar uses Substrate, a framework that simplifies building custom blockchain solutions using Rust programming language. Substrate's modular architecture allows developers to use only the components they need to support their applications, and offers benefits like seamless integration with other blockchains, forkless upgrades, and light client-friendly deterministic finality. By using Substrate, Astar can easily interface with the Polkadot network directly without intermediaries. The dapp staking program of Astar allows developers to earn a basic income while they build out their products and communities.
ASTR is the main native token of the network. It is used for governance, staking, and facilitating transactions.

Oman – officially the Sultanate of Oman – is an Arabian country situated in southwestern Asia, sharing land borders with Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, as well as maritime borders with both Iran and Pakistan. The nation spans the mouth of the Persian Gulf and is home to just 3 million inhabitants, with 1.65 million people living in the capital of Muscat alone. There, you’ll find historic sights such as the promenade of Mutrah Corniche, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera House, the Wadi Bani Khalid canyon, and Yiti Beach.
Of course, there’s also plenty to see outside of Muscat. Salalah is another popular destination among tourists, especially for those looking for a more relaxed experience. Some of the top things to do in this historic city include visiting Al Mughsail Beach and Al Fizayah Beach, or the Wadi Darbat valley, as well as the Sumharam Old City and Marneef Cave. Monsoon months are the best time to visit Salalah, so anywhere from June to August would be ideal.
Oman uses the Rial (OMR) as its official currency, and with Bitget, you can purchase cryptos in just a matter of minutes, no matter where you are in the country, from Muscat, Salalah, Nizwa, to Sohar. Our exchange offers a series of secure payment options to make trading easier for you, including P2P trading, crypto deposits, and other third-party merchants such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and different credit card services.
