Aster: A decentralized exchange offering perpetual and spot trading

Project Introduction

Aster is a decentralized exchange that offers perpetual and spot trading. It aims to provide a one-stop on-chain trading venue for global cryptocurrency traders. It is powered by the high-performance and privacy-focused L1 public chain Aster Chain and supported by YZi Labs.

Aster features no MEV and one-click execution in Simple Mode. Furthermore, Professional Mode adds 24/7 stock perpetual contracts, hidden orders, and grid trading, available on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. A unique advantage is the ability to use liquid staking tokens (asBNB) or interest-bearing stablecoins (USDF) as collateral, unlocking capital efficiency.

This week, Aster announced that the ASTER token TGE will launch on September 17th, with 704 million tokens airdropped to eligible users of the rewards program. Simultaneously, the second phase of Aster Genesis has launched, allowing users to earn Rh points through Aster Pro trading, which will be used for Phase 2 rewards. Points will be calculated weekly. New rules introduce multi-dimensional scoring, including trading volume, holding time, asset holdings, actual profit and loss, and referral points.
