Aster (ASTER)

About Aster

Aster is a decentralized perpetual exchange that combines non-custodial trading with features like hidden orders and multi-chain support. It emerged from the merger of Astherus and APX Finance in late 2024, with APX token holders able to migrate to ASTER. The platform aims to bridge the gap between centralized and decentralized exchanges by enabling traders to maintain full control of their assets while accessing deep liquidity and CEX-grade tools. It supports trading of cryptocurrency perpetuals and U.S. stocks with up to 100x leverage, settled on-chain in crypto. Aster operates on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum without requiring bridging, with pooled liquidity. Users can deposit yield-generating assets like asBNB or USDF as collateral to earn passive returns while trading. The ASTER token is used for governance, staking rewards, and earning incentives through a points program.
