[Aster Updates Tokenomics: Abolishes Monthly Linear Unlocking, Switches to Staking-Only Emissions] Foresight News reports that Aster has announced an update to its tokenomics and a restructuring of ecosystem emissions, replacing the previous monthly linear unlocking mechanism with a staking-only emission model. Previously, 78.4 million ASTER tokens (approximately 1% of the maximum supply) were unlocked monthly on a linear schedule. Following the update, ecosystem tokens will only be released as staking rewards, currently at a rate of 450,000 ASTER per cycle (weekly), equivalent to a monthly release of 1.8 million to 2.25 million ASTER. Aster stated that since the TGE on September 17, 2025, all unlocked ecosystem and community tokens, except for staking rewards, have remained unused. The holdings of these tokens can be publicly verified through addresses starting with 0x0A55.
