Network Scalability

Astar’s implementation of Asynchronous Backing slices block times in half, doubles throughput, and leaves economic rules untouched—giving builders, traders, and users a snappier blockchain experience with room for serious growth. Think less ‘minor update’ and more like a turbo boost to the network’s engine.

The blockchain landscape is evolving fast: Bitcoin’s compute-heavy design is getting outpaced by Ethereum’s transition to Proof of Stake—but Polkadot, through its JAM upgrade, is poised to leap ahead, reimagining what real scalability, efficiency, and multi-core computing can look like in Web3.
