Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, announced on November 17, 2025, the launch of its Stage 4 Harvest airdrop program and a $10 million Double Harvest trading competition. The George Town, British Virgin Islands-based platform is entering a rapid expansion phase following strong performance in Stage 3.<\/p>\n
The Stage 4 reward pool represents 1.5% of the total $ASTER supply, approximately 120 million $ASTER tokens, distributed across six weekly epochs. The concurrent $10 million Double Harvest competition features five independent weekly leaderboards, allowing users to earn both airdrop rewards and competition rewards from the same trading activities.<\/p>\n
Aster’s Rocket Launch product continues gaining momentum as a key growth driver. Within its first month, the platform launched 5 new token campaigns with a cumulative reward pool exceeding $3 million. The product accelerates early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity, serving as a gateway for new projects to attract initial users while fueling Aster’s ecosystem growth.<\/p>\n
The platform is advancing its long-term infrastructure development with plans for a high-performance, optionally private on-chain order-book Layer-1. This system will process order placement, matching, and cancellation directly at the protocol layer, aiming to recreate a centralized exchange-like trading experience fully on-chain. Internal testing and an initial public testnet are planned for late 2025, with mainnet launch targeted for Q1 2026.<\/p>\n
