Astar (ASTR) is a decentralized infrastructure project designed to provide cross-chain interoperability and developer-friendly tools for building decentralized applications (dApps) on various blockchains. It aims to facilitate seamless communication and value transfer between different blockchain networks, enabling developers to create innovative dApps with enhanced functionality and interoperability.

Astar was created by a team of experienced blockchain developers and entrepreneurs, led by founder and CEO, Dr. Jun Li.
