"Astar Network is a scalable smart contract platform and multi-chain hub for dApps in Polkadot and Kusama"
https://medium.com/plasm-network-%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%8F

Lockdrop was in 2020

Has the coin/token been listed? If yes, where? Thanks for the heads-up though

https://dotmarketcap.com/coin/shiden-network

"Shiden Network is a canary network that acts as an R&D chain of Plasm Network. PLM token holders can claim SDN tokens, the native token of Shiden Network, at a 1:1 ratio.

- Parachain Auction: one of the initial goals of Shiden Network is to become a Kusama Parachain. Shiden will distribute 32.5% of SDN tokens to KSM lockdrop participants (Parachain Lease Offering) with a vesting period.

- Plasm Network Portal: This portal is a tool for dApps developers and PLM token holders to stake PLM, earn PLM, and deploy applications."

If you have not participated in the Plasm Network lockdrop, then you will not receive tokens yet.
Tokens are not yet traded on exchanges.

https://astar.network/builders-program/
"Builders for Builders is a new initiative that aims to empower teams building Substrate-based parachains to develop and grow their own ecosystem of builders developing on top of their parachain. As part of the Builders for Builders initiative, the Substrate Builders Program team will share best practices gained from running the SBP for over a year now to help parachain teams build their own similar programs for teams building solutions on top of their parachain. These programs, called Parachain Builders Programs (PBP) will allow parachain teams to become mentors to others and develop their own thriving community of builders, enriching the Polkadot ecosystem as a whole."

Astar/Shiden & Cosmos Bridge Proposal - Builders Program Application
"This project is a bridge connecting the Astar/Shiden network(based on Substrate) to a Cosmos-SDK based blockchain. The bridge enables transferring and receiving assets using the ICS20 standard 7 for the two blockchains.

More explicitly from the ICS20 standard 7, this bridge will maintain 1:1 pegging of the assets cross-chain."

https://forum.astar.network/t/vesting-for-lockdrop-participants-for-eth/2008/74
Astar has problems. They do not want to unlock the token for the lockdrop participants right away.
The organizers offer vesting to the participants of the lockdrop. The lockdrop participants blocked their Ethereum coins for 3 years at a price of about $ 400.
A very interesting situation. On the one hand, lockdrop is an investment and conditions can be changed, but on the other hand, these are double standards.

Problem solved
https://forum.astar.network/t/vesting-for-lockdrop-participants-for-eth/2008/194
"The reason for the short vesting period for 1000 days lockdrop participants is that they took the biggest opportunity cost. Their ETH is still locked in the smart contract, and they can’t do anything with that. Also, the 7 months from the date of release marks around 2 years from when the ETH was locked. The vesting is in line with the vesting period as participants in the Astar Crowdloan Event. As for 300, 100, and 30 days participants, their ETH has been unlocked and claimed back."

Introducing Astar 2.0

https://medium.com/astar-network/introducing-astar-2-0-fb3015e96ba8
"What is Astar 2.0 all about?

Astar is evolving, and Astar 2.0 will impact all facets of our network, from tokenomics to governance structure.

While 1.0 was all about building the underlying infrastructure and ensuring it’s secure, reliable, and battle-tested, Astar 2.0 focuses on getting us ready to deliver web3 to billions and further decentralizing Astar. 2.0 describes the future iteration of our network, as well as shows the direction we’re headed towards. A crucial part of Astar 2.0 is what we call Astar Link.

Astar Link

From the start, Astar has been combining multiple virtual machines enabling dApps to communicate with EVM and Substrate chains. With Astar Link, we’re going further to create a hybrid chain connecting all currently fragmented layers of the blockchain industry. We deeply believe that for the technology to succeed, we’ll need to create unified and seamless experiences for both users and developers. Astar Link will operate as a hub to enhance interoperability and be a marketplace for SDKs to improve builders' experience to onboard Rollups, Zero-Knowledge implementations, and other tools necessary for mass adoption."

Astar Network to focus more on Korean market after Upbit listing, founder says
"ASTR, the native token of the Astar Network, posted a double digit gain after its Upbit listing.
The web3 firm’s founder discussed plans to focus on the Korean market as part of its expansion outside Japan."

"We have been spending multiple months in Korea, hired people, and actively talking with Korean projects," Astar Network Founder Sota Watanabe told The Block about the web3 firm's advance into the Korean market.

Further, Deloitte Tohmatsu supports diverse blockchain-based service development, holding and providing essential blockchain programs as APIs. In June 2023, these capabilities were integrated into "LIFE LOG BOX," a creator support platform on Polygon."

Astar Network's next few months with Sony are pivotal, founder Watanabe says
"The next few months of developing a new public blockchain with Sony is a “very important” phase for the company, Astar founder Watanabe said.
Watanabe also emphasized that the business aspect of blockchain is making society more web3-friendly."

"Casio has signed strategic partnerships with creators that will design the collection.

In a partnership with Astar’s zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM), world-renowned watchmaker Casio has launched the NFT collection. The release states that this new breakthrough is intended to celebrate Casio’s 50th anniversary. The major partnership with Casio was also announced by Astar Network on X.

It is vital that Casio and Astar zkEVM, a formidable alliance formed by Astar and Polygon, work together to improve scalability. Yoki Origins is a gamified user onboarding experience that Astar zkEVM, powered by Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK), started using a few months ago. The Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution is incorporating the Yoki Origins experience into its latest partnership with Casio."
