[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.

@star_okx Thanks for the deep concern and detailed analysis. Just to clarify: CZ is an advisor to @Aster_DEX, as he’s stated publicly multiple times, no one is lying about or hiding anything.
Aster is an independently operating DEX competing in the open market like everyone else and competing is not copying. We are building unique features like on-chain privacy and offer markets that others don’t offer. You’d actually know that if you tried the product.
We strongly encourage everyone to test Aster themselves, experience it firsthand, and make up their own mind. DYOR always. Appreciate the engagement!

More campaign for new users coming, stay tuned!
For two years, Hyperliquid was praised as one of the most innovative products in crypto. Rightfully so. Jeff and the team built something exceptional.
Now that another serious competitor is emerging, suddenly the narrative has shifted to conspiracy theories about shell companies, hidden motives, and regulatory arbitrage.
CZ has publicly discussed Hyperliquid multiple times and has given Jeff credit for building a great product. He literally acknowledged the strengths of Hyperliquid while discussing how Aster could differentiate through privacy, native assets, multi-chain support, and different market segments. (X (formerly Twitter))
The reality is simple.
When a market becomes large enough, competition arrives.
Nobody accused Coinbase of being a shell because it looked like another exchange. Nobody accused Uber of being a shell because taxis already existed.
The bigger question is why some people seem so threatened by competition in a supposedly open market.
If Hyperliquid is as dominant as everyone claims, it should have no problem competing.
The constant obsession with CZ, Binance, and Aster feels less like analysis and more like anxiety that the monopoly may not last forever.
Back from Istanbul Blockchain Week. First Aster meetup in Turkey, shout out to the local community that organized the entire event. We met so many amazing projects and people. It is great to finally put faces to many of the names that we see daily in the community,
This won't be the last. Looking forward to many more community-led events around the world
One thing was clear from every conversation: people want to trade more of the real world on-chain, and have more say in what gets traded.
That's the vision we're building around. The venue for frontier assets, with the experience traders expect from a CEX and the transparency of on-chain infrastructure.
Here is a glimpse of what that looks like over the coming months.
- RWAs go deeper than market listings. We're integrating tokenized assets into the system itself.
- Prediction markets and event contracts. Elections, macro data, sports, tech launches, traded on-chain.
- We're working toward a future where adding new assets becomes significantly more permissionless. The validator securing the network by staking and validating blocks help decide what get listed, both spot and futures.
- LIQUIDITY. A lot of direct feedback here, you're right, we have lots of room to improve on this. A new liquidity program is coming, deeper books and tighter spreads across the whole DEX. This program will be structural, not a short-term incentive campaign. Expect deeper orderbooks in coming weeks.
Same goal as day one. More soon. Thanks Türkiye. Aster Coded
By that definition @Aster_DEX is also a "Solana-adjacent" perps technically. We also support native @solana on/off ramp, contribute to overrall Sol TVL.
@Aster_DEX has the best chance to compete with all the top perp exchanges, including Binance and HL, and already support @solana . if you haven't already, give us a try and let us know your feedback.
