I’ve been following several Polkadot parachain projects lately and Astar is one that seems to get mentioned quite often because of its focus on multi-chain smart contracts. Naturally I started looking into how people actually buy ASTR without going through multiple complicated exchanges. While doing some research I found a guide that explains how to buy Astar using an international bank transfer: https://paybis.com/buy-astar-parachain-with-swift/ The method seems familiar for anyone who already sends SWIFT payments through their bank. I’m still learning about the project itself, but I’m curious if anyone here is actively investing in parachain tokens like Astar.
