[Tokenomics Update] $ASTER Buyback and Burn Steps Up to 198%
Aster is upgrading its buyback so the platform's own activity both rewards stakers and sets $ASTER on a deflationary path.
Starting from 12:00 PM UTC today, 99% of Aster's daily platform fees buy back $ASTER. An equal amount of $ASTER is burned from reserve, matching the buyback one for one.
The bought-back $ASTER goes to stakers. Each epoch it is added to Loyalty Rewards (300K $ASTER base, plus the buyback amount), distributed to veASTER by lock weight.
The burn takes team allocation first. $ASTER launched with a total supply of 8,000,000,000. The burn continues until total supply reaches 3,000,000,000.
Buybacks run automatically via TWAP across each day and settle on-chain. The buyback and the burn are both public and verifiable:
- Buyback wallet: 0xa0edBaBcb48034e368de286b49F9603C7AfA1b60
Every permissionless listing on Aster Spot pays a 50,000 USDT fee, used to buy back $ASTER as extra staking rewards.
