Unlocking a World of Possibilities
Scheduled for release in Q1 2024, the Astar zkEVM mainnet will be celebrated through an immersive campaign that invites users to explore the Astar zkEVM ecosystem. Participants can engage with a variety of on-chain and off-chain quests, earning exclusive NFTs crafted by Astar Network and participating projects. The roster of projects spans enterprises, renowned IP artists, and top web3 applications.
Drawing inspiration from Japanese capsule machines, the campaign introduces virtual versions individually tailored for each project. Users can interact with these virtual machines on the dedicated campaign website to mint and collect limited NFTs. The experience is enhanced by an engaging storyline inspired by Japanese folklore, featuring a collection of Japanese-inspired characters that users can “upgrade” by completing campaign-related tasks.
Registration is open to join the ZK launch!
Astar Tech Stack is already compatible with leading developer tools, meaning you can build apps today with both Solidity and Rust.
Now, we’re developing zk-rollups on Ethereum!

Why Should Web3 Projects Join the Campaign?
As pioneers in utilizing the Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit), and the largest parachain (in terms of market cap) in the Polkadot ecosystem, Astar has built a dedicated multichain userbase, working closely with communities around the globe to further build their reach. With a user interface that makes accesses digital assets simple, they’re looking to target a worldwide audience – not just web3 natives.
This campaign provides an opportunity for the projects involved to reach this global audience of both incoming and current web3 users, and serves as a gateway to the Japanese web3 market. Astar consults both government agencies and collaborates with Japanese enterprises increasingly looking to enter web3, and will take every opportunity to explore possibilities in Japan together with participating projects.
Maarten Henskens, Head of the Astar Foundation, said:
“We’re excited to share the launch of Astar zkEVM with Polygon Labs in Q1 of next year. It’s the solution that our enterprise partners need to build seamlessly on Ethereum. Over 320 organizations have joined Astar and are prepared for the next wave of web3 development in Asia in 2024. We are now opening the doors globally to invite projects, artists, and businesses that have yet to explore web3 to get in contact and join Astar zkEVM with this builder-friendly campaign.”
