Shiden Network is a versatile, multichain decentralised application layer for the Kusama ecosystem, designed to enhance the capabilities of smart contract development across various blockchain networks. Originating as the canary network for Astar Network, Shiden supports decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and various decentralised applications (dApps) on Kusama. It aims to solve the isolation of blockchain networks by providing a scalable and interoperable environment where developers can deploy and interact with smart contracts efficiently. Built as a parachain on the Kusama network, Shiden capitalizes on substrate technology and brings functionalities such as Layer 2 solutions to increase throughput while maintaining security. The platform incentivizes developers through an innovative reward mechanism, fostering a vibrant and collaborative ecosystem. By supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and WebAssembly (Wasm), Shiden ensures that developers can leverage familiar tools and programming languages to create and deploy solutions.
