🏛️ I. Source of Rewards: Farewell to Inflation Printing, Moving Towards “Network-wide Trading Volume Dividends”

The staking rewards of most early DeFi projects are essentially inflationary issuance (i.e., issuing new tokens for subsidies), which will severely dilute the value of tokens in the long run. Aster Chain's staking mechanism has made a key upgrade: 99% of the platform's daily fee revenue is automatically used to repurchase $ASTER through TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), and all proceeds from the repurchase are distributed to veASTER stakers, and this part of the revenue is directly added on top of each period's 300,000 base loyalty rewards.

Deeply tied to platform performance: Staking rewards are no longer dependent solely on token issuance, but are directly linked to the actual trading activity of Aster DEX itself— the larger the platform's trading volume, the larger the repurchase scale, and the more cash flow stakers receive (logically closer to “equity dividends”).

Permissionless listing fee refund: Each time Aster’s spot exchange lists a token without permission (Permissionless), the 50,000 USDT listing fee will also be used to repurchase $ASTER and inject into the staking reward pool (after approximately a two-week circulation period).

🔥 II. Extreme Deflation: Repurchase and Burn Driven by Dual Mechanisms, Until Total Supply is Reduced to 3 Billion

The repurchased $ASTER is not solely for distributing rewards, but also comes with an extremely hardcore burn mechanism:

Equal Quantity Matching Burn: According to the token economics, each time one $ASTER is repurchased, one from reserves will be burned in equal quantity, with priority on the team allocation portion being consumed first.

Biweekly Burn Rhythm: Burn continues to be executed on a biweekly rhythm until the total supply drops from the initial stage down to 3 billion.

Team's 5% Unlock in September Fully Burned: Along with the commitment to directly burn 5% of the team's token unlock in September, market selling pressure is completely blocked.

Closed-Loop Logic: Trading activity → Fee increase → Repurchase expansion → Partial burn (deflation) + Partial distribution to stakers → Increased attractiveness of staking → Promoting long-term lockup and network security.

⚖️ III. veASTER Model: Why is Lock-up Duration the Core Variable?

veASTER adopts the classic “vote-escrowed” model, allowing users to lock $ASTER for up to a 208-week (about 4 years). The reward weight is determined by the amount of locked tokens, the duration of the lock-up, and trading volume, rather than a simple linear distribution based on staking amount.

1. Reduce Short-Term Circulation: The longer the lock-up time, the harder it is for tokens to be sold in the short term, greatly locking down the selling liquidity in the secondary market.
2. Filter Long-Term Participants: Reward weights lean towards longer lock-ups, naturally filtering out pure speculative funds looking for “quick in and out.”
3. Bind Validator Performance: Delegated to different validators, the final rewards will also be influenced by the trading volume and block performance actually handled by that validator, forcing validators to compete based on real network contributions.

📊 Three Layers of Staking Rewards:

Base Reward Layer: Each period 150,000 $ASTER, distributed based on validator transaction processing volume and user staking proportion.

Loyalty Reward Layer: Starting from 300,000 $ASTER each period, where lock-up time and amount determine the weight.

Repurchase Sharing Layer: 99% of the platform's fee-converted repurchase funds (no upper limit on fluctuating income) are added and distributed to stakers according to veASTER weight.

🎙️ IV. Macro and Product Synergy: CZ's Hot Topics, 24/7 On-chain Space Under “Home Field Closure”

As CZ recently said, "Why run around? All the tokens are safe here." While the market is flourishing, traders need to pay more attention to the real demand where “home field closure does not stop”.

1. 24/7 Synthetic Stocks Perpetuals: The circuit breaker of traditional exchanges (like the South Korean KOSPI and US stocks) only protects the closing order of institutions, not individual traders holding long positions looking at news about CXMT’s production expansion at three in the morning. On Aster, $SKHYNIX and $SAMSUNG perpetual contracts maintain 24-hour quotes, and while the market is halted, the hedging channel remains open!

2. Aster Vault Fully Open: The permissionless vault is now open to everyone! You only need 100 $ASTER + $100 supporting assets to instantly open a position, turning trading strategies into a public Track Record and extract high profit shares.
