Aster announces a $10 million metatransaction competition, combined with Stage 4 Airdrop and Rocket Launch incentives, multi-layer driving the platform Depth and Liquidity rise.

Multi-track incentive parallel: Airdrop, competitions, and new coin activities comprehensively drive rise.

The decentralized trading platform Aster is entering a phase of rapid expansion. After achieving strong performance in Stage 3, it has immediately launched the Stage 4 (Harvest) Airdrop plan, and will introduce a “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 run in parallel, allowing users to simultaneously receive multiple rewards with each transaction, significantly enhancing the platform's activity and trading depth.

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

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

Multi-track incentives allow users to receive multiple returns for each transaction. Users can accumulate Stage 4 Airdrop points and trading competition ranking contributions simultaneously in the same perpetual trade, forming a dual parallel收益 structure that deepens while further amplifying users' structured incentives.

Rocket Launch is rapidly growing, becoming a new growth engine for early asset ecology.

In addition to Airdrop and trading competitions, the new product Rocket Launch has shown strong rise since its launch. In the first month since its launch, it has introduced 5 new coin activities, with a cumulative reward scale exceeding 3 million dollars, reflecting the rapid growth demand for early asset liquidity and ignition mechanisms in the market. Rocket Launch is accelerating to become an important entry point for new projects to acquire early users and liquidity, and is also becoming one of the core driving forces for the expansion of the platform ecosystem.

Build on-chain order book infrastructure to advance the long-term roadmap.

While providing short-term incentives, Aster is simultaneously advancing its infrastructure roadmap. In a recent official AMA, the team disclosed that they are building a high-performance, privacy-selectable on-chain order book Layer-1 public chain, which will handle order placing, matching, and cancellation logic directly at the protocol layer. The goal is 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 test version are expected to be launched by the end of 2025, with the mainnet planned to go live in the first quarter of 2026.

In terms of products and ecosystem, Aster will strengthen the token use cases of $ASTER in the next two quarters, including Staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP mechanisms, Airdrop eligibility, and monetization features in collaboration with DeFi protocols. At the same time, the platform has launched gold and index contracts and plans to expand more commodities and stock targets, as well as enhance integration with ecosystem partners such as Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, and Lista DAO.

The layout in the international market is accelerating, and the industry's influence continues to expand.

The global visibility of Aster has also been enhanced. 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 to further expand its influence in the international market.

Through a multi-track incentive approach, accelerated iteration product strategies, and continuous investment in infrastructure development, Aster is shaping a steeper growth curve before 2026, moving towards a hybrid model of “on-chain order book infrastructure + incentive-driven growth.” The goal is to capture a larger market share in the highly competitive decentralized space and build the next generation of decentralized trading infrastructure and global ecological layout.
