**[Aster Launches VERONA Perpetual Contract and Introduces $30,000 ASTER and VERONA Bonus Campaign]** BlockBeats News, September 21 — According to official sources, Aster has announced the launch of the Verona (VERONA) perpetual contract. This project provides an intelligent layer for AI agents, enabling verifiable, user-owned data. Verona aims to transform user-verified data into portable, privacy-preserving, and programmable information, allowing AI agents to operate based on verifiable information genuinely owned by users. To celebrate the launch of VERONA, Aster is introducing a bonus campaign with a total prize pool of $30,000 in ASTER rewards and additional VERONA rewards. The campaign will run from 8:00 PM on September 21 to 10:00 PM on September 26 (Beijing Time). Participants will receive rewards based on their trading volume proportion in the VERONAUSDT perpetual contract during the campaign period, with individual participants eligible to earn up to 3% of the total prize pool. The campaign is open to both new and existing Aster users, excluding market makers. According to reports, Verona's "Truth Engine" can convert internet data into verifiable facts and store them on a decentralized network, enabling verified information to be reused across different scenarios without disclosing underlying data. Verona has secured investments from institutions such as Multicoin, Animoca, Circle, HashKey, Arrington Capital, and Spartan, with total funding exceeding $36 million. [Original Link]
