About Artela

Artela is an extensible blockchain network enabling developers to build feature rich dApps. At Artela, we are dedicated to enhancing the extensibility of blockchain, empowering developers to easily customize their dApps in a modular manner, and driving faster innovations in Web3.
Artela is on a mission to build a base-layer blockchain network to meet the increasing demand for large-scale decentralized applications. Artela’s innovative design allows developers to build native extensions on top of the blockchain’s base layer in a modular manner, enabling more on-chain programmability. This approach will support developers to realize customized functionality in a lightweight and dynamic way, opening doors for faster innovations and more possibilities.
Artela has an extension layer allowing the addition of a user-defined native extension module called Aspect, which enhances programmability while ensuring compatibility with existing EVM smart contracts. Aspect empowers developers to inject supplementary logic to process related transactions and blocks throughout the entire transaction lifecycle beyond the smart contract.
