Aster DEX is a decentralized perpetual trading platform that serves both beginner and experienced traders through its dual trading interface: Simple Mode provides one-click trading with up to 1001x leverage and MEV resistance, while Pro Mode offers an advanced order book with professional trading tools. Operating on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Solana, Aster DEX has processed over $258 billion in trading volume collectively.
The platform goes beyond just trading by integrating Aster Earn products, including BNB liquid staking (asBNB) and a yield-bearing stablecoin (USDF). Backed by YZi Labs, a group formerly associated with Binance Labs, Aster DEX aims to address common challenges in DeFi trading such as complexity, front-running, and limited accessibility. The project’s long-term roadmap includes developing its own Layer 1 blockchain optimized for trading performance.
Aster DEX Airdrop Details
The Aster DEX airdrop is confirmed, with an upcoming $AST token (replacing the current $APX token) to be distributed to active users of the platform. The project has launched “Spectra Stage 1,” a points program that tracks user activity across trading and asset holding.
This program awards two types of points: Rh Points for trading perpetual futures and Au Points for minting and holding assets like USDF and asBNB. These points will determine eligibility and allocation amounts for the potential $AST token airdrop.
How to Participate in the Aster DEX Airdrop
To maximize your chances of receiving the Aster DEX airdrop, follow these steps to accumulate points in their Spectra Stage 1 program:
