Aster CEO Responds to Market Doubts and Reveals Development Roadmap Aster CEO Leonard has made a formal response regarding the ongoing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) regarding the project recently. He stated that the allegations currently circulating are "completely wrong at the factual level" and belong to "public opinion manipulation without evidence and with malicious intent". Leonard clarified that CZ is only a project consultant, and the investment of Yzi Labs is in a long-term locked position, in response to questions such as "selling allegations, CZ's involvement, and whether the project is' exiting liquidity '"; Aster is an independently operated project that is not controlled or directly operated by CZ or Binance entities. The allegations are baseless. He also emphasized that the release and repurchase of tokens follow a publicly available token economy model, aimed at incentivizing ecosystem participants rather than facilitating selling. The project has recently upgraded its repurchase mechanism by implementing daily automatic repurchases on the chain (funded by agreement income) to improve transparency and predictability. Leonard provided the following verifiable data on the chain: cumulative repurchase of 254 million tokens; 78 million tokens have been destroyed and an equal amount of tokens have been re locked in the airdrop pool; We plan to destroy all remaining repurchased tokens in the future. The next development focus of the project includes: expanding asset liquidity and accelerating new listings; It is expected to launch a privacy first Layer1 network in March, which will achieve both transaction verifiability and privacy protection; Subsequently, the coin holder staking function was launched; Optimize trading experience and interface design. The optimization direction of the token economy model includes: S6 is the last trading airdrop, and the growth of circulation will slow down in the future; Suspend 1% unlocking per month until staking goes live; Continuously execute automatic repurchase (up to 80% of the fees will be used for repurchase during S6 period).
