The decentralized trading platform Aster officially launches the Aster Genesis: Stage 2 points airdrop event, while also confirming the long-awaited Token Generation Event (TGE) date.
In the first phase of the event, 527,224 independent wallets generated over $37.7 billion in trading volume over 20 weeks, allowing Aster to capture nearly 20% of the monthly trading volume share in the decentralized contract market within just a few months.
Aster CEO Leonard stated, "The first phase sent a clear signal: traders want not just access, but speed, composability, privacy, and capital that can operate continuously. Aster is pioneering a new category—allowing users to use yield-bearing assets like asBNB and USDF as collateral for contract trading while also earning staking rewards, fully unlocking capital efficiency."
Unveiling Aster Genesis: New Vision for Stage 2
Stage 2 introduces a brand new points system and updated participation standards, significantly enhancing transparency, with rules established directly based on community feedback from the first phase.
Traders will accumulate points through various means, including: trading volume, holding duration, referrals, team bonuses, using asBNB/USDF as margin, and every profit and loss during the event period. Stage 2 is now live, laying the groundwork for token distribution in Q4 2025.
Leonard added, "Stage 2 further strengthens the connection between participation and rewards ahead of the TGE. The new rules are fairer and more incentivizing, ensuring all traders can participate on an equal footing and move towards the airdrop."
Over 50% of the total supply of $ASTER has been allocated for community airdrops, with 8.8% (704 million $ASTER) set to be unlocked immediately on the day of the TGE for users who earned Rh or Au points in the points activity.
Additionally, users who obtained Aster Gems quotas through community or partner programs, as well as those who traded on Aster Pro and earned loyalty points after Stage 1, will also be eligible. Any unclaimed $ASTER will return to the "Airdrop" pool for future community rewards.
Milestones Towards TGE
Since Spectra, Aster has continuously advanced its privacy-first trading vision, launching Hidden Orders, releasing the Aster L1 public chain as a foundation for non-custodial private trading, and bringing Stock Perpetuals on-chain for 24/7 trading.
Recently, Aster also launched a spot market, becoming a one-stop on-chain trading platform. These milestones collectively pave the way for the TGE scheduled for September 17, 2025.
$ASTER Airdrop: Focused on Long-Term Success
The Aster token $ASTER is expected to be listed on multiple mainstream exchanges and traded simultaneously on Aster's own spot market, with subsequent collaborative promotional activities.
Leonard stated, "The community airdrop of $ASTER will take place on the day of the TGE. We have heard comparisons to recent high-profile airdrops, but we are more focused on 'signals' rather than 'hype.' The genuine participation from Stage 0 to Stage 1 is the core of this design to generously reward at the time of the TGE."
"With the issuance of $ASTER, we officially enter the next phase of ecological growth and decentralized governance."
Riding the Wave, Leading a New Trend
With the imminent launch of $ASTER, Aster will directly compete with decentralized giants like Hyperliquid and challenge centralized platforms such as Binance and Coinbase, with its core advantages being trader protection and capital efficiency.
Leonard emphasized, "Our next growth step comes from distribution. Aster will serve as a liquidity layer, collaborating with emerging platforms like PancakeSwap, Trust Wallet, SafePal, and Four.meme, aiming to make the on-chain market seamless, instant, and always online."
As of now, Aster's TVL across 7 EVM chains and Solana exceeds $350 million, with annualized fee revenue surpassing $30 million, and a growth rate of 87.5% year-to-date in 2025.
