Aster

    What is Aster DEX?

    Aster DEX is a decentralized perpetual trading platform that serves both beginner and experienced traders through its dual trading interface: Simple Mode provides one-click trading with up to 1001x leverage and MEV resistance, while Pro Mode offers an advanced order book with professional trading tools. Operating on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Solana, Aster DEX has processed over $258 billion in trading volume collectively.

    The platform goes beyond just trading by integrating Aster Earn products, including BNB liquid staking (asBNB) and a yield-bearing stablecoin (USDF). Backed by YZi Labs, a group formerly associated with Binance Labs, Aster DEX aims to address common challenges in DeFi trading such as complexity, front-running, and limited accessibility. The project’s long-term roadmap includes developing its own Layer 1 blockchain optimized for trading performance.

    How to Participate in the Aster DEX Season 1 Airdrop (Ended)

    To maximize your chances of receiving the Aster DEX airdrop, follow these steps to accumulate points in their Spectra Stage 1 program:

    1. Create an Aster DEX account
      • Get ETH/BNB to cover transaction fees and some USDT for trading from Binance, then withdraw to you wallet.
      • Visit the Aster DEX website
      • Connect your wallet (Metamask or other compatible wallets)
      • Complete the registration process
    2. Start earning Au Points through asset utilization
      • Some USDT on BNB Chain is required to mint USDF, get some from Binance
      • Mint USDF stablecoin for a 20x Au Points multiplier
      • Stake BNB for asBNB to receive a 10x Au Points multiplier
      • asBNB holders also receive Binance HODLer airdrops
      • Hold these assets in your wallet to accumulate points
    3. Earn Rh Points through trading
      • Navigate to the trading section of Aster DEX
      • Choose Pro Mode
      • Execute trades on perpetual futures markets
      • Note that taker volume (market orders) is more important for earning points as compared to maker volume (limit orders).
      • The full formula is:
        • Rh points = [Pro taker_volume + (Pro maker_volume*0.5)]*(team boost + user_Rh_boost) + referral bonus
    4. Leverage multipliers to increase points
      • Trade higher volumes to unlock Rh Points multipliers (up to 5x for $5M+ monthly volume)
      • Hold USDF for a 20x multiplier on Au Points
    5. Set up a referral network
      1. Share your referral link with other traders
      2. Earn 10% of your referees’ Au Points and 10% of their Rh Points
      3. Build a team of referred users to unlock additional multipliers (up to 1.2x)
    6. Monitor your points regularly
      • Points are tracked via snapshots every 6 hours (00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC)
      • Your airdrop allocation from Rh points allocation is determined by your Rh weightage in each epoch: a 7-day window that resets every Monday
      • Check your dashboard regularly to track your progress
      • Adjust your strategy based on point accumulation rates
    7. Follow Aster DEX’s social channels
      • Stay updated about changes to the points program
      • Watch for announcements about the $AST token and airdrop
