Aster DEX Airdrop Details

The Aster airdrop program is confirmed and has already paid out ASTER across six stages. The current campaign is USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1, run with World Liberty Financial. It rewards trading and holding positions on USD1-denominated RWA perpetuals with WLFI and USD1 instead of ASTER.

Key Parameters:

Airdrop Allocation: 125,000,000 WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1
Distribution Method: Weekly epochs, paid by share of Trading Points and OI Points
Campaign Period: August 31 to December 31, 2026 (18 epochs)

The two pools are calculated independently. Trading Points come from eligible taker volume and share the USD1 pool. OI Points come from the size and duration of your open positions and share the WLFI pool. Each epoch receives an equal slice, roughly 6.94M WLFI and 347K USD1.

Stage 6 (Aster Convergence) participants who chose the 100% vesting option can claim their ASTER between October 28 and November 28, 2026.

Latest Update: Epoch 5 started on September 28, Hedge Mode OI is now counted by net position, and OTC trading is live on Aster.

How to Participate in the Aster Airdrop

Step 1: Get USD1 for Collateral

You need USD1 to meet the campaign’s collateral rules, plus a small amount of gas on the network you deposit from. Buy USD1 on Bybit and withdraw it to your wallet, or move funds from another chain with the widget below.

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet to Aster

Go to Aster DEX and connect a Web3 wallet, or log in with an email address.

Step 3: Deposit USD1 Into Your Perpetual Account

Open the deposit menu, select USD1 and your network, and confirm the transfer. Only the Perpetual account balance counts toward the USD1 requirement.

Step 4: Choose Your Collateral Mode

Aster checks your eligibility with snapshots every 5 minutes. Pick one of two modes:

Single-Asset Mode: Positions using USD1 as collateral qualify automatically and earn 2x OI Points.
Multi-Asset Mode: USD1 must make up more than 50% of your Perpetual account balance at every snapshot, or that snapshot earns nothing.

Step 5: Trade and Hold Eligible USD1 Pairs

Open positions on the eligible markets: SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, MU/USD1, and GPRO/USD1. Taker volume earns Trading Points, and holding the position earns OI Points. Check the campaign page for the current pair list, since Aster can change it.

Step 6: Track Your Points

Both point types update daily on the campaign page. Points shown during an epoch are provisional until Aster settles them.

Step 7: Claim Your Weekly Rewards

Rewards for each epoch arrive the following week. Claim them from the same subaccount that earned them, because unclaimed rewards expire two weeks after they become available.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Does the Aster USD1 RWA Boost End?

Phase 1 of the Aster USD1 RWA Boost runs until December 31, 2026, at 23:59:59 UTC. The campaign started on August 31 and is split into 18 weekly epochs, each with an equal share of the WLFI and USD1 reward pools.

Is the Aster Airdrop Free to Join?

No. Points only come from trading and holding positions on eligible USD1 perpetual pairs, so you need USD1 as collateral. Leveraged positions carry liquidation risk, and trading fees apply to every order you place.

How Are Aster Campaign Rewards Calculated?

Each epoch, your reward equals the epoch pool multiplied by your share of total eligible points. Trading Points decide your USD1 payout and OI Points decide your WLFI payout. The two pools are separate, so the same position can earn from both.

What Happens If I Miss an Epoch?

Every epoch is scored on its own, so you can join at any point before December 31 and still earn from the remaining pools. Points from one week do not carry over, and a missed epoch cannot be made up later.

Do OTC Trades on Aster Count Toward the Campaign?

Filled OTC positions appear in your Futures positions and are managed like regular trades. Aster has not stated whether OTC fills count toward USD1 RWA Boost points, so check the campaign page before relying on them.

Will There Be More ASTER Airdrops?

Aster reserves 53.5% of the ASTER supply for community rewards through airdrops, and six stages have already been distributed. The current campaign is labeled Phase 1, but no further ASTER stage has been announced yet.

Conclusion

The Aster USD1 RWA Boost pays 125M WLFI and 6.25M USD1 to traders on USD1 RWA perpetuals through December 31, 2026. With Epoch 5 underway, the main levers are holding USD1 collateral, keeping OI in proportion to volume, and staying in Single-Asset Mode for the 2x WLFI boost.
