[Important Notice] Tokenomics Update: Restructuring Ecosystem Emissions
We are replacing the monthly Ecosystem unlock with a staking-only emission model, significantly reducing the amount of $ASTER entering circulation each month.
Previously, 78.4M $ASTER (~1% of max supply) was unlocked monthly on a linear schedule. This mechanism has now been replaced: Ecosystem tokens will only be released as staking rewards, currently at a rate of 450K $ASTER per epoch (weekly), equivalent to 1.8M–2.25M $ASTER per month.
For reference, all Ecosystem & Community tokens unlocked since TGE (Sep 17, 2025) have remained untouched beyond staking rewards. Token holdings can be verified at the public unlock address (0x0A55c740703A11f42803fB1a05ca1F7F89981EA4).
Emission parameters and allocation details are documented on our Staking and Tokenomics pages. Bookmark them to stay up to date!

The FUD Campaigns Are REAL!
I received this DM this morning & was offered $20,000 to FUD @Binance, @CZ_Binance & to lie & say that I sold all my $ASTER
Posting this for awareness as I never actually thought FUD campaigns were a real thing
Who's funding this stuff?!
Real wealth is not just about money. Many other factors are more important: health, loved ones, time, freedom, credibility, principles, positive impact…
Be a good and happy person. Never too late to start.🙏
There has been some confusion about Aster’s buyback program, so here’s the exact status.
S4 buybacks were not stopped. On Dec 8 (UTC), we accelerated S4 buyback execution to $4M/day and completed this accelerated tranche in 8 days (~$32M executed). By the end of that tranche, we had cumulatively utilized ~90% of S4 fee income to date for buybacks.
Buybacks have resumed on Dec 17 (UTC) and will continue through the remainder of Stage 4, funded by the previous day’s S4 fee revenue, in line with the existing framework.
Stage 4 ends on Dec 21 (UTC). After Stage 4, the buyback program will continue. Parameters for the next phase are being finalized and will be shared once confirmed.
Buybacks remain a standing policy at Aster: disciplined execution, transparent allocations, and timely updates.
