Aster (ASTER) is the native token of the Aster ecosystem, a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) for spot and perpetual futures trading. The platform was established in 2025 through the merger of major protocols Astherus and APX Finance with support from YZi Labs. The project offers traders unique leverage up to 1001x, cross-chain liquidity, and privacy based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP).
With the launch of its own Aster Chain network in 2026, the platform enabled instant order execution without gas fees. The ASTER token is used for decentralized governance (DAO), staking with 50% exchange fee distribution, and obtaining trading discounts.
