The decentralized trading platform Aster, strategically invested by YZi Labs, announced today the deepening of its strategic partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

This collaboration has launched the perpetual contracts priced in USD1 and new trading incentives, including WLFI token rewards and fee reductions for USD1 trading pairs, while allowing users to earn additional income by holding USD1.

This integration aims to enhance the liquidity of USD1 on the platform, laying the foundation for the newly launched Layer 1 blockchain Aster Chain.

Building a Diversified Foundation on Aster Chain

Introducing USD1 as collateral and launching a USD1 perpetual contract market has reduced Aster's reliance on a single stablecoin, providing users with greater flexibility before the launch of Aster Chain.

With the support of the WLFI global community, Aster is accelerating the expansion of the USD1 market in the DeFi space.

Aster's CEO Leonard stated, “The success of Aster Chain relies on the depth of its underlying liquidity. By bringing USD1 into our core trading engine, we are building the trading foundation for the launch of Aster Chain. Our launch of 0 bps maker fees is designed to encourage users to participate in the USD1 market on Aster while the mainnet is launched.”

World Liberty Financial co-founder and COO Zak Folkman said, “The perpetual contract market accounts for the vast majority of trading volume. The launch of the USD1 perpetual contract trading pair on Aster with collateral rates matching USDT means traders can use USD1 just as they would any mainstream stablecoin. This is the standard we are setting: feature parity, not treating USD1 as a secondary option.”

Creating a USD1 Trading Hub

Aster now supports perpetual contracts priced in USD1, with initial launch pairs including BTC, ETH, and SOL, and plans to add over 10 more trading pairs in the coming weeks.

To encourage market participation, Aster offers 0 bps maker fees and a highly competitive 0.5 bps taker fee. USD1 is also supported as margin assets and collateral, with collateral rates consistent with USDT, enabling traders to maximize capital efficiency.

Early Adopter Rewards

As part of the Aster Chain launch activities, this partnership introduces several incentive measures:

● USD1 trading incentives: Up to 2.5 million WLFI tokens will be allocated monthly based on the trading activity of the USD1 perpetual contracts, with rewards distributed weekly. WLFI reserves the final interpretation rights for this plan and the token allocation.

● USD1 holding rewards: Users holding USD1 on Aster are eligible to participate in the platform incentive program.

● Trading fee reductions: All USD1 trading pairs will have zero maker fees and 0.5 bps taker fees, significantly lower compared to USDT trading pairs.*

Aster will also launch tracking tools, including access to a points program integrated on both web and mobile platforms, making it easy for users to monitor their progress and participation in the early market activities on Aster Chain.
