• Astar Network has released its 2023 roadmap, the Starmap, with the goal of making its blockchain network more robust and providing necessary tools for developers.
• The first phase, Reborn Nebula, in Q1 2023 will introduce Cross-Virtual Machine (XVM) functionality, Astar UI Library & Astar.js, WASM tooling, XCM smart contracts, and dApp staking.
• The goal is to make the network more stable and interoperable, providing developers with the necessary tools and stability desired.

The Astar Network has recently released its four-part 2023 roadmap, dubbed the Starmap, with the goal of creating a robust, secure, and scalable blockchain infrastructure that is capable of handling multiple chains. The roadmap has been designed to address the issues of the harsh market conditions of last year, which saw many developers leaving their existing networks due to the lack of stability and interoperability.

The first phase of this roadmap, titled Reborn Nebula, will begin in Q1 2023. It will focus on introducing a series of innovative features, such as the Cross-Virtual Machine (XVM) functionality, which will allow smart contracts on different virtual machines to communicate with each other. This will enable bi-directional calls between Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and WebAssembly (WASM).

In addition, Astar Network will be introducing the Astar UI Library & Astar.js, WASM tooling, XCM smart contracts, and dApp staking. These new features will provide developers with the necessary tools and stability desired, making the network more reliable and interoperable.

The team at Astar Network is confident that the introduction of these new features will enable the network to become a go-to platform for developers, providing them with the stability, scalability, and security they need. The 2023 Starmap is an ambitious plan and the Astar Network team are committed to making their vision a reality.
