# Welcome to AstraVerse! {% embed url="" %} **AstraVerse** is a token built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network. During our market research it was found that a high gas-fee was a major barrier in the entry of new investors, as well as, liquidation or withdrawal of an investor’s funds. We understood this and, therefore, decided to go with the BSC network that not only provides one of the most secure blockchain networks in the market, but also has the capacity to handle considerably more transactions per minute leading to a fraction of fee. Initially, we would be launching AstraVerse token on the PancakeSwap DEX (Decentralized Exchange), later followed by other platforms. ## --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
