What is Aster

Aster is a decentralized exchange that supports both spot and perpetuals trading. The protocol grew out of a late-2024 merger between Astherus, a multi-asset liquidity and yield project, and APX Finance, a perps protocol. The combined platform targets an inefficiency in DeFi by letting users earn yield on collateral while they trade.

The core design is described as ā€œtrade and earnā€. Users can post yield-bearing assets as margin for perpetuals and keep accruing passive yield while positions are open. Aster positions itself as a bridge between TradFi and DeFi by listing crypto and stock perpetuals that trade around the clock without custodial intermediaries.

For accessibility, Aster offers two interfaces. 1001x Mode is a simplified one-click layout with leverage up to 1001x and protections aimed at reducing MEV front-running. Pro Mode is an order book interface with multi-asset margin, grid automation, and advanced order types that mirror centralized venues.

The project markets four pillars. Cross-chain trading lets users pick a chain and place a trade without manual bridging. Liquidity is pooled across markets to support larger orders. Advanced tools include hidden orders that obscure intent. The platform emphasizes clarity and control for both new and experienced traders.

Self-reported metrics highlight $2 trillion in total trading volume, 3 million users, $5 billion in open interest, $2 billion in TVL, and 101 listed symbols. After its September 2025 token generation event, ASTER rose more than 1,500% at peak, drawing attention to its perps niche.

Backers and signals

Aster’s predecessor Astherus received a strategic investment from YZi Labs, the rebranded venture arm associated with Binance Labs, in November 2024.

The project also benefited from visible community endorsements. A public congratulatory post from Binance founder Changpeng Zhao was cited by traders as a confidence signal during the token’s early rally.

TVL touched about $2.4 billion around launch.
