Aster wash trading wear-and-tear test. Tested with one of my accounts: deposited twice, $5,000 each time, totaling $10,000. Current balance is $1,272, meaning $8,700 was worn down. Trading volume reached $44 million (there should be a few million more not yet accounted for, as Aster’s trading volume calculations often have delays). Wear-and-tear is less than 0.02%, one of the lowest in the entire network. If I pushed to VIP4 fee rates, the wear-and-tear would be around 0.016%. Let’s be honest, all the teams in the network are pulling people in, relying on connections and hype. But we rely on technology and low-cost advantages. As for those worried about sybil attacks, 99% of this is wash trading—what are you even worried about? It’s hilarious. Check the tweet below for tools to join teams and participate in wash trading.
