Astar is a multi-chain smart contract platform that supports more than one virtual machine, so developers can build with different tools and languages, including EVM-style contracts. It started in the Polkadot ecosystem and has aimed at enterprise, entertainment and gaming projects, with a particular focus on Japan. Applications run as smart contracts, and a user's wallet pays for transactions in the native token.
The native token is ASTR. It pays network fees and is also used for staking. Astar dApp Staking is the clearest example: ASTR holders stake on curated projects, earn rewards, and give builders a recurring income. Fees are generally modest, but they can change, so check the cost in your wallet before confirming.
The on-chain DeFi scene is small. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL is about $1.1M. Native apps include ArthSwap V2 and Starfish Finance for swaps, Starlay Finance for lending, AstridDAO for borrowing against collateral, Algem for liquid staking, and JPYC, a yen-pegged stablecoin. Avault and Neemo Finance add yield and liquid restaking. Several big names on this page, such as LayerZero V2, CCIP, cBridge and Wan Bridge, are cross-chain infrastructure with most of their value on other networks. Bitget and Gate are centralized exchanges, not Astar-native apps.

Frequently asked questions
What is Astar Network?
Astar is a multi-chain smart contract platform that supports more than one virtual machine, so developers can build with different programming approaches. It began in the Polkadot ecosystem and positions itself as a gateway for Japanese enterprise, entertainment and gaming projects.
What is the ASTR token used for?
ASTR is the native token. It pays network fees and can be staked, for example through Astar dApp Staking, where holders back projects and earn rewards while developers receive income. Check the current fee and reward rates in the app before transacting.
How big is the Astar DeFi ecosystem?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Astar is about $1.1M, which is small. Several protocols that list Astar, such as LayerZero V2 and CCIP, hold large TVL mostly on other chains, so their figures say little about Astar itself.
Which dApps are native to Astar?
Chain-native options include ArthSwap V2 and Starfish Finance for swaps, Starlay Finance for lending, AstridDAO for borrowing the BAI stablecoin, and Algem for liquid staking. Most have low TVL and lower review scores, so check liquidity and audit information first.
Can I bridge assets to and from Astar?
Yes, in the sense that many tools which list Astar support several chains. LayerZero V2, CCIP, cBridge and Wan Bridge are bridge or messaging protocols from the list. Bridges add smart contract risk, so move only what you can afford to lose and confirm that a route supports Astar before sending funds.
Is there a yen stablecoin on Astar?
Yes. JPYC is a yen-tracking stablecoin issued on Astar and designed to hold a 1:1 peg to the Japanese yen. Read the issuer's terms and check how redemption works in your region before holding it.
Is using Astar dApps risky?
Small chains with thin liquidity carry extra risk, including wide swap spreads, protocols that fade out, and bridge or smart contract failures. Some listed Astar dApps note low liquidity or limited published audit details. Do your own research and never rely on a single review score.
What is the largest dApp on Astar by TVL?
LayerZero V2 is the largest dApp on Astar by total value locked, with $17.9B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by Bitget ($5.93B) and Gate ($5.91B). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Astar has the highest DappsAtlas score?
LayerZero V2 has the highest score at 8.0/10, ahead of Gate (7.7) and Bitget (7.6). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
How many dApps are on Astar?

Which dApps on Astar grew the most this week?
