[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.

The landmark $PLRL airdrop is here! 🪂
• Snapshot 1 of 4 has been taken
• Distribution begins May 28, 2026
• 3 more airdrops still to come
Full breakdown below.
Perfect spot for a technical bottom (WMA200) on Bitcoin but equities can drop another 10% and still be in ultra bullish HTF territory.
The key risk now therefore on Bitcoin is that equities drag us lower, unless you believe Bitcoin will decouple, which is unlikely.
More chance therefore that Bitcoin bottoms around the WMA300 ($50k level) as tech stocks bottom at the previous 2025 ATH.
Phone charts but hopefully this make sense.
Buy all the $NEAR & $HYPE you can once Bitcoin bottoms. That’s my plan anyway.
😁🍾🤛

Only the Open Edition is for everyone, the others are for NFT holders only.
Doing this hoping it’s a requirement for a potential second $PENGU airdrop.
In 90 days, a $600 bag on @Base will outearn a $135,000 bag bought that day.
225X less capital but the only difference is time.
That clock started 18 days ago so you're still not too late.
Here's the full thesis on $FIRE and why i think it becomes the most interesting game on Base. 🧵
