In recent years, we have borne witness to the exponential growth of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), especially within the art and collectibles realm. Highly notable projects such as Blue-chip PFPs like BAYC and Azuki have gained significant traction, and more ventures are beginning to unlock the practical utilities of NFTs that can be integrated into real-world use cases. In particular, with regards to intellectual property, the advent of IP NFTs has allowed for seamless linking with music albums, merchandise, TV series, films, and more to enable the sharing of revenue streams with NFT holders.

In view of Polkadot architecture and slot auction mechanism, a parachain is considered to be equivalent to an independent public chain (sharing the security of the relay chain). The parachain of the auctioned slot would attract a large number of small projects to deploy at a low cost. Therefore, the smart contract platform is the rigid demand for Polkadot , which is also the fiercest competition in the early stage for ecosystem development. How will Astar Network stand out from this competitive landscape among competitors like Monobeam, Clover, and Acala? This article will briefly discuss Astar Network's parachain performance, ecosystem development, and team.
