Parallel Multi-Track Incentives: Airdrops, Competitions, and New Coin Activities Drive Growth

The decentralized trading platform Aster is entering a phase of rapid expansion. Following strong performance in Stage 3, it has launched the Stage 4 (Harvest) airdrop program and will introduce the "Double Harvest" trading competition with a total reward of $10 million on November 17, while continuing to expand the activity matrix of the new product Rocket Launch. Multiple incentive programs running in parallel allow users to earn multiple rewards with each transaction, significantly enhancing platform activity and trading depth.

The total prize pool for the upcoming Stage 4 is 1.5% of the ASTER issuance (approximately 120 million tokens), evenly distributed across six weekly epochs, creating a cross-week incentive structure. Meanwhile, the Double Harvest trading competition further amplifies the incentive: the event, running from November 17 to December 21, is divided into five independent cycles, each lasting 7 days, and employs an unlockable prize pool mechanism, with a maximum of $2,000,000 per cycle, totaling $10,000,000.

To enhance competitive depth, the competition will rank users based on their perpetual contract trading volume on Aster during the cycle, with the top 1,000 users sharing the prize pool for that period. The top user in a single week can earn up to $300,000; if a user achieves first place for five consecutive weeks, the maximum cumulative reward can reach $1,500,000. Different ranking ranges have independent reward distributions, allowing high-frequency traders, moderately active users, and long-tail participants to earn rewards within their respective trading volume ranges.

Parallel multi-track incentives ensure that each transaction brings multiple returns, allowing users to simultaneously accumulate Stage 4 airdrop points and trading competition ranking contributions within the same perpetual trade, creating a dual-line parallel revenue structure that deepens engagement while further amplifying user-structured incentives.

Rocket Launch Rapidly Grows, Becoming a New Growth Engine for Early Asset Ecosystems

In addition to airdrops and trading competitions, the new product Rocket Launch has shown strong growth since its launch. In its first month, it has introduced five new coin activities, including other listing events, with a cumulative reward scale exceeding $3 million, reflecting the market's rapid growth demand for early asset liquidity and ignition mechanisms. Rocket Launch is accelerating to become a key entry point for new projects to acquire early users and liquidity, and is becoming one of the core driving forces for platform ecosystem expansion.

Building On-Chain Order Book Infrastructure, Advancing Long-Term Roadmap

While pursuing short-term incentives, Aster is simultaneously advancing its infrastructure roadmap. In a recent official AMA, the team revealed that they are constructing a high-performance, privacy-selectable on-chain order book Layer-1 public chain, which will directly handle order placement, matching, and cancellation logic at the protocol layer, aiming to reconstruct an on-chain trading infrastructure that approaches a centralized experience while retaining transparency and self-custody advantages. Internal testing and the first public beta version are expected to launch by the end of 2025, with the mainnet planned for the first quarter of 2026.

On the product and ecosystem level, Aster will strengthen the use cases for the $ASTER token in the next two quarters, including Staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP mechanisms, airdrop eligibility, and monetization features in collaboration with DeFi protocols. Additionally, the platform has launched gold and index contracts and plans to expand to more commodities and stock targets, while enhancing integration with ecosystem partners such as Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, and Lista DAO.

Accelerating International Market Layout, Expanding Industry Influence

Aster's global visibility is also on the rise. CEO Leonard was recently invited to share the platform's infrastructure planning at the Binance Campus APAC in South Korea and will attend the Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai this December, further expanding its influence in international markets. Through multi-track incentives, accelerated product iteration strategies, and continuous investment in infrastructure construction, Aster is forming a steeper growth curve before 2026, moving towards a hybrid model of "on-chain order book infrastructure + incentive-driven growth," aiming to capture a larger market share in the competitive decentralized space and build the next generation of decentralized trading infrastructure and global ecological landscape.
