This collaboration allows Magic to contribute as the preferred wallet-as-a-service provider for Astar's vibrant developer community and its impressive roster of enterprise projects.

Astar's remarkable success in Japan is built on their deep understanding of the local business landscape. Their commitment to responsible Web3 development is truly inspiring, and we're honored to be associated with such a forward-thinking platform. 

As one of the leading parachains on Polkadot (with the most-thriving community), Astar boasts its own Layer 2 on Ethereum and holds significant market share in Japan. This translates to collaborations with some of Japan’s most respected corporations, including Sony, Calbee, and Toyota. Working with such established brands requires not just technical expertise, but also a dedication to building trust and value for businesses and users alike.

That's where Magic comes in. 

Magic brings 6 years of experience in the Web3 space and our over 31 million wallets created to the table. This experience allows us to offer a reliable and secure wallet-as-a-service solution to businesses of all sizes, from household names like Macy's and Forbes to Web3 innovators like Immutable and Helium. Our platform greatly simplifies the onboarding process for users, making it easier for them to engage with the Web3 ecosystem.

At Magic, we believe in building pragmatic and user-centric Web3 solutions. We share Astar's vision of responsible Web3 development, and our robust features and scalability make us a valuable project to support their mission.

This collaboration is more than just an integration; it's a commitment to making Web3 accessible to a wider audience. 

Together, Magic and Astar will empower developers and businesses to build the next generation of decentralized applications, fostering a future where cutting-edge technology meets user-friendly design.
