On December 22, news broke that Aster launched a perpetual contract trading incentive event, with a total prize pool of 12 million USDF.


The event runs from 8 AM on December 22 (UTC+8) to 7:59 AM on February 2 next year, spanning over a month, divided into 6 consecutive 7-day phases, in sync with its airdrop plan Stage 5: Crystal.


The gameplay is very simple——


In each phase, as long as you conduct perpetual contract trading and meet two thresholds:

  1. Hold a certain amount of ASTER；

  2. Meet the minimum trading volume requirement; you can participate in this week's reward distribution.

The weekly prize pool cap is 2 million USDF, but it is not fixed at this amount; it depends on the overall perpetual contract trading volume on the platform to unlock:

Trading volume below 1000 billion coins → Prize pool 1 million USDF;

Reach 100 billion coins → Unlock 1.5 million USDF;

Over 150 billion coins → Prize pool reaches 2 million USDF.


This means that the size of the prize pool is linked to the overall trading heat of the platform. The more active the trading, the more money you may receive, but if the heat is not enough, the prize pool will also shrink.


The essence of this type of activity is to stimulate the trading volume of perpetual contracts and the number of ASTER holders with rewards, on one hand increasing platform activity, and on the other hand increasing user stickiness in trading.


For ordinary users, you need to calculate two accounts first.

First, whether you can stably meet the requirements for holding coins and trading volume, and second, the platform's trading depth and slippage situation, otherwise just rushing for rewards may lead to fees and slippage eating away the profits.


Also note that the activity cycle spans the New Year and the market situation before the Spring Festival. If the market fluctuates greatly, the position risk of perpetual contracts will be higher than usual. Don't ignore risk control for the sake of rewards.


This is a gameplay that exchanges the prize pool for activity. Whether you can benefit depends on the platform's heat and the compatibility of personal trading strategies. Don't blindly ignore costs and risks for the sake of rewards.#比特币流动性 #美国非农数据超预期 #ETH走势分析
