Polkadot could serve as the backbone of the future multichain ecosystem, but today, its relay chain only connects blockchains built on Substrate and does not inherently support smart contracts. Astar Network addresses this urgent need by building a smart contract platform for builders while connecting various Layer 1 blockchains (e.g. Ethereum, BSC, Solana): a dApp hub that is birthing projects such as multichain DEXes. In this episode, we provide an overview of Kusama & Polkadot before diving into the 3 main value propositions of Astar/Shiden Network: dApp staking, EVM & WASM compatibility, and the multichain dApp hub.
