Astar, a multichain DApp communication possibility communications protocol antecedently often far-famed as Plasm, has raised $22 million in its newest strategic fundraise.
The
funding spherical
was led by Polychain and detected participation from the like Alameda Analysis, Crypto.com Capital, Digital Finance Group and some different angel traders.
