Aster DEX (asterdex.com) is a decentralized perpetual futures exchange backed by YZi Labs (ex-Binance Labs team) and quietly endorsed by CZ. Launched in 2025, it quickly overtook Hyperliquid in daily volume (~$1-3B) thanks to features like 1001x leverage, hidden orders (dark pool), yield-bearing collateral (asBNB, USDF), multi-chain support (BNB, Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana), and zero-slippage Shield Mode.

In December 2025, Aster is in Stage 4 Harvest of its ongoing airdrop program, with Stage 5 Crystal starting Dec 22—total community allocation: 53.5% of $ASTER supply.

Token $ASTER is live (~$0.70, market cap ~$1.7B), but rewards keep flowing big time.

The Rewards Program: Rh Points + Multi-Stage Airdrops

Aster's Genesis/Harvest program uses Rh Points (weekly reset) to allocate $ASTER drops:

  1. Rh Points System

    • Earn from trading volume, position holding time, PnL, maker/taker orders, and multipliers (e.g., yield assets like USDF/asBNB, symbol boosts).

    • Takers often 2x makers; quality trading > wash volume.

    • Referrals: 10% base + upgrades for high-volume users.

  2. Ongoing Stages (December 2025)

    • Stage 4 Harvest: Ends Dec 21, 1.5% supply (~120M $ASTER), 3-month vesting (claim early = 50% + burn rest).

    • Stage 5 Crystal: Starts Dec 22, lowest emission yet (1.2% supply), with vesting bonus (wait 3 months for full).

    • Extra: Rocket Launch campaigns (e.g., RTX/USD1 with $150K $ASTER pool + hold 444 $ASTER for eligibility).


  3. Points reset weekly—leaderboards drive massive farming.


Best Strategy to Farm Right Now

Step 1: Connect Wallet & Start Trading
Go to asterdex.com, connect MetaMask/wallet on BNB Chain (lowest fees). Use Pro Mode for advanced tools or Simple/Shield for easy high-lev trades.

Step 2: Maximize Rh Points

Trade perps heavily (volume + holding time). Aim high monthly volume for multipliers.

Use yield collateral: asBNB/USDF for extra boosts.

Focus boosted pairs (e.g., RTX/USD1 spot = 1.5x during campaigns).

Hold positions longer + positive PnL = more points.

Refer friends for 10%+ kickbacks.

Step 3: Stack for Upcoming Stages

Farm hard before Dec 21 snapshot (Stage 4 end).

Prep for Stage 5: Trade USD1 pairs, hold $ASTER on-platform for special rewards (e.g., 444+ for Rocket Launch).

Delta-neutral strategies: Hedge spot/perps with yield assets to minimize risk while stacking points.


Pro tips

  • Follow @Aster_DEX on X for boosts/symbol multipliers.

This is active farming: real trading = real points + potential profits.

Why Massive Airdrop Potential Still Here

$ASTER launched in Sept 2025 with huge drops already paid, but:

Over 53.5% total supply for community—multi-year distribution.

Stage 4 (1.5%) + Stage 5 (1.2%) ongoing, with vesting to reduce sell pressure + burns.

Buybacks active (~$32M+ executed recently from fees).

Upcoming Aster Chain L1 (testnet Dec 2025) + staking/governance = more utility/rewards.

Backed by CZ ecosystem, exploding volume/TVL—classic setup for sustained incentives.

Bottom line: Real product (top perp DEX) + generous ongoing drops + deflation mechanics = huge upside for farmers who stick around.
