Catenaa, Thursday, December 04, 2025-Aster has rolled out its Stage 4 airdrop and the $10 million “Double Harvest” trading competition to drive ecosystem growth and user engagement.
The Stage 4 program distributes 1.5% of $ASTER’s total supply, roughly 120 million tokens, across six weekly Epochs.
The concurrent competition features five weekly leaderboards, allowing users to earn rewards from identical trading activity.
These initiatives follow the success of Rocket Launch, Aster’s early-asset product, which has already launched five new token campaigns with over $3 million in cumulative rewards.
The platform is also advancing its long-term infrastructure with a high-performance, optionally private on-chain order-book Layer-1. This system is designed to process order placement, matching, and cancellations at the protocol level, delivering a centralized exchange-like experience with transparency, self-custody, and privacy. Testing is scheduled for late 2025, with mainnet planned for Q1 2026.
Additional updates include expanding $ASTER’s utility through staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP tiers, and DeFi integrations. Aster has also added gold and index perpetuals and plans further commodity and equity offerings. Partnerships with Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, and Lista DAO are advancing the platform’s global reach.
CEO Leonard highlighted Aster’s growing international presence, including presentations at Binance Campus APAC in Korea and participation in Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai.
Multi-track incentives, product expansion, and foundational infrastructure aim to position Aster as a leading decentralized trading platform in 2026.
