As we begin the new year 2022, Moonstake as well as our strategic coin partners have many exciting news and programs in store for you as our platforms scale and evolve. To welcome our user community into the exciting new year, we're creating a series of articles on what you need to know about our partner coins in the year 2022, this time with Shiden.

Shiden is the latest supported coin by Moonstake via strategic partnership with Astar Network, the sister network whose code base is used to build Shiden. Since November 2021, we support both native staking of SDN with Moonstake staking pool as well as staking with the Shiden DApp store with 25+ innovative applications, bringing users a robust variety of opportunities for global crypto users to earn with Shiden Network with the best user experience. Moonstake is proud to be amongst the world's first group of validators for Shiden Network.

Shiden Network was launched in August 2021 as a sister network to Astar Network, functioning as a smart contract layer to enable advanced blockchain applications like DeFi, NFTs and more. Since launch, Shiden has been hosting a Builders Program with Astar to incentivize teams to develop great applications on the network. The team also organized an Ambassador Program to promote awareness and adoption of the network, as well as launching the Shiden DApp Store which currently has 25+ staking DApps listed, including Moonstake.

In 2022, Shiden as the canary network of Astar will be focusing on developing and expanding its ecosystem in the fields of cross-chain token swapping, DApp staking, EVM tooling, and general network functionality, governance, and performance. On top of this, the network is also looking to incubate and promote the development of breakthrough applications and NFT projects, especially through its Astar & Shiden Builders Grant Program.

Moonstake is proud to be strategic partners of Shideen Network. We will continue to maintain strong support for the ever growing and developing Shiden ecosystem and hope to bring even more great value to SDN and crypto users worldwide in 2022 to help accelerate adoption of the Shiden and Moonstake ecosystems together.
