Decentralized futures exchange Aster, developed with support from YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), has officially announced its Token Generation Event (TGE) scheduled for September 17, 2025. The launch will include a massive airdrop of 704 million ASTER tokens to users participating in the platform's rewards program.
The TGE marks the beginning of Aster Genesis: Phase 2, which introduces a multi-dimensional scoring system for Rh points. Unlike the previous volume-only approach, the new system rewards users based on four factors: Trading Volume Score (with takers earning double points compared to makers), Asset Holding Time Score, Aster Asset Holding Score (using asBNB or USDF as collateral), and Realized Profit Score (excluding funding fees).
The platform, which operates on BNB Chain, has already processed over 258 billion in decentralized perpetual trading volume through its predecessors Astherus and APX. Aster offers two trading modes: Simple Mode with MEV-free trading and up to 1001x leverage, and Pro Mode for experienced traders supporting BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana.
With a total supply of 8 billion tokens, the allocation includes 30% (2.4 billion) for ecosystem and community development, 7% (560 million) to treasury, 5% (400 million) to the founding team, and 4.5% (360 million) for liquidity provision and exchange listings.
