What is Aster?

Aster is a decentralized perpetual-exchange platform — and ASTER is its governance/exchange token. Here's the picture:

Aster ($ASTER)

A next-generation DEX for perpetual futures that merges Astherus and APX Finance (late 2024), with old APX holders able to migrate to ASTER. It blends non-custodial, on-chain settlement with CEX-grade trading features like hidden orders and multi-chain support — including crypto perps and US stocks with up to 100x leverage in advanced mode.

Market Snapshot

• Funding rate: 0.005% per Binance Futures; open interest ≈ $105M per Binance Futures
• Sentiment: 50% of voters bullish per CoinGecko
• Contract: BSC 0x000ae314...4f556a
• 24h holder count: ~258,744

Risk Factors

• No honeypot, not mintable, open source, no buy/sell tax, no blacklist, no proxy, no hidden owner — clean security checklist on BSC
• LP lock status could not be determined for its pool (no lock data returned) — worth verifying before treating liquidity as locked
• Standard gaps every token has: no tool verifies team identity or the tokenomics/unlock schedule — so I can't confirm the distribution or vesting of the ~7.8B total supply.

No recent news headlines came back for it. If you meant the Aster trading platform itself rather than the token, it's also in our curated perps directory as a BSC-based orderbook DEX — happy to dig into that instead.
