Aster Airdrop 2026 Overview
The Aster airdrop 2026 is part of a multi-stage token distribution program rather than a pre-launch token speculation campaign. Aster's native token is ASTER, and the official token documentation lists a maximum supply of 8 billion ASTER. The token allocation reserves 53.5%, or 4.28 billion ASTER, for airdrops and community rewards. )
The initial Aster TGE took place on September 17, 2025. At TGE, 704 million ASTER, representing 8.8% of maximum supply, became available for eligible participants. The initial eligible groups included users with qualifying Rh or Au points from Aster Spectra Stage 0 and Stage 1, Aster Gems recipients, and qualifying Aster Pro traders who earned loyalty rewards. )
By September 2026, the relevant airdrop status is Stage 6 rather than the original TGE. The current official Aster airdrop page lists a 64 million ASTER Stage 6 distribution, with the immediate claim period already completed and the 100% vested claim window scheduled for November 4 to December 4, 2026.
Aster Stage 6 Airdrop Status
Aster Stage 6 is the latest staged distribution identified on the official Aster airdrop page. The published Stage 6 allocation is 64,000,000 ASTER. Against the 8 billion maximum supply, this equals 0.8% of total supply.
| Stage 6 Metric | Published Data |
|---|---|
| Stage | Stage 6: Convergence |
| Token | ASTER |
| Stage allocation | 64,000,000 ASTER |
| Maximum supply | 8,000,000,000 ASTER |
| Stage allocation as % of maximum supply | 0.8% |
| Vesting selection | 20 April - 2 May 2026 |
| 50% immediate claim | 4 May - 4 June 2026 |
| 100% vested claim | 4 November - 4 December 2026 |
The Stage 6 immediate claim window has already closed as of September 15, 2026. Users who selected the 100% vested option during the selection period should monitor the official Aster claim page for the November 2026 window.
What Is Aster?
Aster is a decentralized exchange ecosystem focused on perpetual and spot trading. Its documentation describes Simple Mode for simplified on-chain execution and Pro Mode for more advanced trading functions. The platform supports trading across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana and Arbitrum, while Aster Chain provides a dedicated high-performance and privacy-oriented infrastructure layer. )
The current Aster website reports 483 markets, approximately $1.46 billion in total value locked, $2.5 billion in open interest, 46.07 million users and approximately $4.95 trillion in cumulative trading volume. These figures are dynamic platform statistics and should be refreshed before publication.
ASTER Token and Tokenomics
The ASTER token has a maximum supply of 8 billion. Aster's official tokenomics documentation divides supply into five major categories: 53.5% for airdrops, 30% for ecosystem and community, 7% for treasury, 5% for team and advisors, and 4.5% for liquidity and listing. )
| ASTER Allocation | Percentage | Maximum Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airdrop | 53.5% | 4.28B ASTER | Traders, community builders and ecosystem stakeholders |
| Ecosystem & Community | 30% | 2.40B ASTER | APX migration, grants, ecosystem and liquidity initiatives |
| Treasury | 7% | 560M ASTER | Strategic initiatives, reserves and governance |
| Team | 5% | 400M ASTER | Core contributors and advisors |
| Liquidity & Listing | 4.5% | 360M ASTER | Exchange liquidity and listing support |
The official documentation states that the initial 704 million ASTER distribution represented 8.8% of total supply and was unlocked at TGE for qualifying users. The remaining airdrop allocation is scheduled for gradual distribution over approximately 80 months, subject to governance changes. )
Aster Airdrop History
Aster's airdrop program evolved from the early Spectra points system into multiple staged distributions. The initial system used Au points and Rh points. Au points were associated with eligible assets and Aster Earn activity, while Rh points were associated with Aster Pro trading.
The Au Points program ended with a final snapshot at 00:00 UTC on June 13, 2025. Aster's documentation states that no additional Au points would be granted after that snapshot. )
The initial TGE eligibility subsequently included qualifying Rh or Au points, Aster Gems allocations and qualifying Aster Pro loyalty activity. The claim period opened September 17, 2025 and closed October 17, 2025. Unclaimed tokens after the initial 30-day period were redirected to community rewards. )
Aster Airdrop Eligibility
The Aster airdrop eligibility rules depend on the distribution stage. There is no single eligibility formula covering every Aster airdrop stage.
For the original TGE, Aster identified three principal user groups: qualifying Spectra Stage 0 and Stage 1 Rh or Au point holders, Aster Gems recipients, and Aster Pro traders who earned loyalty rewards after Stage 1. )
For later stages, eligibility shifted toward weekly activity-based scoring. Stage 5 documentation states that points were calculated from trading, position, Aster asset, liquidation, profit-and-loss, team boost and referral components. Aster also stated that exact category weightings remained undisclosed and that adjustments could be applied to farmed points. )
Aster Points System
The Aster points model is central to understanding the later airdrop stages. Stage 5's published formula was:
Final Points = (Trading Points + Position Points + Aster Asset Points + Liquidation Points + Profit and Loss Points) × Team Boost + Referral Points
Trading points are based on trading-fee contribution, maker liquidity contribution and symbol boost factors. Position points depend on position size and duration. Aster asset points are linked to using ASTER, asBNB or USDF as margin. Liquidation points are derived from liquidation fees, while profit-and-loss points use hourly net P&L. )
The exact weighting between these categories has not been publicly disclosed. This means a simple trading-volume-only calculation cannot reproduce a user's final allocation.
Aster Stage 5 Airdrop
Aster Stage 5: Crystal preceded Stage 6. The Stage 5 system continued the points-based model for Perpetual and Spot trading and introduced a cumulative team boost mechanism.
Stage 5 team boosts were based on cumulative team activity and did not reset during the campaign. The published boost thresholds included 3 million team points for a 1.05x boost, 15 million for 1.10x, 45 million for 1.15x and 90 million for 1.20x. )
Stage 5's points were intended to determine each participant's ASTER share at the conclusion of the stage. Market makers participating in the dedicated Market Maker Program were excluded from earning Stage 5 points. )
Aster Stage 6 and 64 Million ASTER
The Aster Stage 6 airdrop is listed by the official Aster claim page as a 64 million ASTER distribution. The official page provides the vesting selection and claim schedule but does not display a public per-user allocation table in the indexed page.
The Stage 6 claim structure gives eligible participants two choices. The immediate route provides 50% during the first claim window. The alternative is a 100% vested claim during the November-December 2026 window. The official page currently lists the 100% vested claim period as November 4 at 12:00 UTC through December 4 at 12:00 UTC.
Aster Stage 6 Eligibility and Points
Stage 6 continued the trading-based rewards structure. Aster's Stage 6 documentation describes points for Perpetual and Spot trading and includes trading points, position points, Aster asset points, liquidation points, profit-and-loss points, team boosts and referrals in the scoring model. )
Position points are calculated from the size and duration of perpetual positions. Aster asset points are linked to ASTER, asBNB and USDF used as margin. Liquidation points are generated by liquidation fees, while profit-and-loss points are calculated from hourly net P&L. The documentation states that the exact weightings remain undisclosed. )
Aster Referral and Team Boost
The Aster referral system forms part of the points architecture. Stage 5 and Stage 6 documentation describes referral rewards across first- and second-level relationships. Team boosts use cumulative activity from the referral family and can increase the points applied to participating users. )
Because Aster can adjust campaign rules and apply anti-manipulation controls, referral activity should not be represented as a guaranteed fixed ASTER payout.
Aster Token Utility
ASTER is the native token of the Aster ecosystem. The official documentation identifies governance as one of its functions, while the current ecosystem also integrates ASTER into trading-related incentives and margin products. The Aster documentation identifies ASTER, asBNB and USDF as assets that can contribute to later-stage points when used as margin. )
The official tokenomics page also describes a protocol revenue buyback initiative using a portion of protocol revenue for ASTER buybacks and governance rewards. )
Aster Chain
Aster Chain is the project's dedicated blockchain infrastructure. The current official website reports 50ms block times, up to 100,000 transactions per second, zero gas and PoSA consensus optimized for derivatives execution. It also describes ZK-encrypted orders, fresh stealth addresses and validator-signed settlements.
These network metrics should be tracked separately from Aster's airdrop metrics. Airdrop allocation measures user reward distribution, while Aster Chain activity measures network adoption and infrastructure usage.
Aster Market and Ecosystem Metrics
| Metric | Current Published Reference |
|---|---|
| Markets | 483 |
| TVL | Approximately $1.46B |
| Open Interest | Approximately $2.5B |
| Users | Approximately 46.07M |
| Cumulative Trading Volume | Approximately $4.95T |
| Aster Chain block time | 50ms |
| Aster Chain maximum throughput | Up to 100,000 TPS |
The above platform figures are displayed on Aster's current website and can change as trading volume, TVL, users and open interest fluctuate. They should be refreshed when the page is republished.
Aster Funding and YZi Labs
Aster's historical identity is linked to Astherus, and public funding records identify YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, as an early investor and incubator. The investment was reported in November 2024, while the specific investment amount was not publicly disclosed.
Token transparency research reports that YZi Labs invested in equity rather than purchasing ASTER tokens and that no public token-sale amount was disclosed. Therefore, the Aster funding figure should be recorded as undisclosed rather than estimated from secondary market commentary. ([Blockworks][2])
Aster Airdrop Safety
The Aster airdrop checker and claim process should only be accessed through official Aster domains. Aster's original TGE documentation explicitly warned that claiming did not require an approval transaction. The published process credited tokens to the user's Aster Spot account after a successful claim. )
Users should not provide seed phrases or private keys to any Aster airdrop checker. A claim page asking users to approve an unrelated token transfer should be treated as a security warning.
