By Chainwire, Georgetown, British Virgin Islands, November 17, 2025, Chainwire, Aster,
8 centralized perpetual exchange, is entering a phase of rapid expansion.
Following the strong performance of Stage 3, the platform has rolled out the Stage 4, Harvest,
Airdrop program and will launch the Double Harvest trading competition on November 17th with a total
reward pool of $10 million. At the same time, Aster continues to scale its early asset product rocket
launch, expanding the pipeline of new token activities. These incentive tracks run in parallel,
enabling users to earn multiple rewards from the same trading activity, substantially increasing
platform engagement and trading depth. The stage four reward pool represents 1.5% of the total dollar
Aster supply. Approximately $120 million Aster tokens, distributed evenly across six weekly epics.
Running concurrently, the $10 million, double harvest competition features five independent
weekly leaderboards, allowing users to earn Boughthair drop rewards and competition rewards
from identical trading behavior. Rocket launch shows strong traction, emerging as a key growth
engine beyond the Airdrop and trading competition, Aster rocket launch continues to gain momentum.
The product is designed to accelerate early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity.
Within its first month, the platform launched five new token campaigns, with a cumulative
reward pool of more than $3 million.
This highlights the growing market demand for early-stage liquidity and ignition mechanisms.
Rocket launch is quickly becoming a gateway for new projects to attract initial liquidity
and users, while simultaneously evolving into a major driver of Aster's broader ecosystem
growth. Advancing infrastructure. Building an on-chain order book layer minus one alongside
short-term incentive programs, Aster has accelerating progress on its long-term infrastructure
roadmap. During a recent official AMA, the team revealed active development of a high-performance,
optionally private on-chain order book layer one, designed to process order placement,
matching, and cancellation directly at the protocol layer. The goal is to recreate a C-E-X-like trading
experience fully on-chain, combining transparency, self-custody, and privacy with high-speed execution.
Internal testing and an initial public test net are planned for late 2025, with Maynett launch
targeted for Q1 2026. On the product side, Aster will further expand Dollar Aster's utility over the
next two quarters, including staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP tier benefits,
airdrop eligibility, and yield enhanced integrations with Defi protocols.
The platform has also introduced gold and index perpetuals and plans to broaden ITS lineup of commodities
and equity-related instruments, while deepening integrations with Trust Wallet, SafePal, Math Wallet,
Lista Dow, and other ecosystem partners.

plans to regional industry leaders. Astor is also said to participate in Binance Blockchain
Week in Dubai this December, further strengthening its global footprint. With multi-track incentives,
an expanding product ecosystem, and ongoing investment in foundational infrastructure,
Aster is shaping a steeper growth curve heading into 2026. The platform is advancing toward a hybrid
model built on chain order book infrastructure plus incentive-driven growth,
aiming to secure a larger share of the competitive decentralized trading market and build the next
generation of decentralized trading infrastructure and global ecosystem.
