Background Note

The new ASTER-token follows the merger of Asthereus and APX-Finance, giving the platform a latest identity. Aster Exchange ($ASTER). This merger combines the strengths of both projects. While the swap ratio is fixed at 1:1, users who swap earlier may benefit from smoother processing and faster access.

Why It Matters

This change is an important step for the Aster-ecosystem. By moving from APX to ASTER, the project aims to create a stronger, community-driven token that can last long term.
