Astar Network is a multi-chain smart contract platform that supports multiple blockchains and virtual machines (VMs). It has partnered with Sequence, a prominent development platform for web3 integration into games, to launch Astar Studio. This new developer platform is built on the advanced Astar zkEVM and is powered by Sequence technology. Astar Studios is designed to revolutionize web3 project development by providing user-friendly tools. It offers developers control and innovative tools for the creation and management of web3 applications built on robust capabilities of Astar zkEVM, a next-generation zero-knowledge Layer 2 scaling solution.

Supercharing web3 gaming and developer growth

Astar Studio is a complete ecosystem designed to facilitate the creation of web3 projects. The official Astar zkEVM ‘Developer Console’ is powered by Sequence and offers a range of plug-and-play tools aimed at simplifying the development process:

  • Smart Wallet Integration: Includes embedded solutions with customizable UI kits
  • Advanced Analytics: Provides game analytics and payment flow options.
  • Comprehensive APIs: Features transaction APIs, gas sponsorship mechanics, indexers, and more.
  • Extensive SDK Support: Supports major development environments like Unity, Unreal Engine, and mobile SDKs.

Shaun Wang, Chief Technology Officer at Astar Network, summed up the partnership by stating, "The integration with Sequence is going to be very beneficial for the developers building on Astar zkEVM. By combining Astar zkEVM with Sequence's development platform, we're empowering developers to build next-generation web3 dApps in easy mode. This partnership fosters a smooth and familiar development experience while ensuring low transaction fees and scalability. We're excited to see the innovative and engaging experiences that developers will create with Astar Studio and look forward to working with Sequence”.

$200,000 Astar Studio Credit Grant program

Astar Network and Sequence are supporting the growth of the Astar zkEVM ecosystem through a special initiative called 'Astar Studio Credit Grant'. This program offers $200,000 USD worth of Astar Studio credit to assist developers in leveraging the platform's tools effectively. Selected projects will receive grants to use across various developer tools within Astar Studio.

Issei Kashima, APAC Business Development and Partnerships Manager at Sequence, expressed the significance of the collaboration by stating, "Integrating Astar zkEVM into Sequence Builder allows developers to start building within Astar’s growing ecosystem with their same workflows and our familiar tools and SDKs. Astar Studio gives Astar developers the tools needed in an end-to-end development platform under Astar’s brand, eliminating the steep learning curves needed from using alternative fragmented web3 solutions."

Wrapping up

Combining Astar's blockchain technology with Sequence's game development expertise to launch Astar Studio will provide a powerful and accessible platform for developers. This partnership along with the $200,000 grant will ensure developers have the resources they need to innovate and succeed in the evolving digital landscape.
