Microsoft Japan Announces Support in Building Astar & Shiden Ecosystem.

Published on: 08.09.2021

Stake Technologies has been working with Microsoft Japan under the Microsoft for Startups program.

Astar Network will collaborate with Microsoft Japan to provide a wide range of marketing and infrastructure support to ecosystem projects and developers on Astar Network/Shiden Network.

The dApp hub on Polkadot and Kusama

Astar Network is a multichain dApp hub supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine, WebAssembly, and layer2 solutions. We believe that multichain doesn’t mean “Ethereum Compatibility”.

As a part of our strategy, Astar Network will focus on building multiple layer1 bridges so that our ecosystem developers can create new applications such as multi-L1 synthetics assets, multichain DEX, and so on.

How will Microsoft Japan be involved?

Microsoft Japan has announced that the company will provide a wide range of support in the areas of marketing and infrastructure for projects that are building on the Aster Network or Shiden Network.

About Astar Network/Shiden Network

Astar aims to be a multi-chain smart contract platform that will support multiple blockchains and virtual machines. Shiden Network is a sister network of Astar Network and a dApp hub on Kusama.
