**Road Town, British Virgin Islands, October 23rd, 2025/Chainwire/--**Decentralized trading platform Aster announced today the debut of its new initiative, Rocket Launch, designed to accelerate early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity, while giving users early access to emerging on-chain opportunities. Aster Aster Rocket Launch Rocket Launch Aster Rocket Launch aims to transform token launches from one-time market events into a continuous journey — from alpha discovery to trading activation and sustained growth. Participants can join by trading designated token pairs, with rewards distributed proportionally based on their trading volume share. Empowering Users Through Participation and Holding Each Rocket Launch campaign features a reward pool composed of both $ASTER tokens and the participating project’s native tokens. Projects joining Rocket Launch contribute funds and project tokens, which Aster uses to buy back $ASTER. The repurchased tokens, together with the contributed project tokens, form the campaign’s reward pool distributed to Aster users through trading activities. To participate, users are required to hold a certain amount of $ASTER to qualify for the campaign. For long-term users, holding $ASTER represents more than an investment, it’s a way to engage with on-chain innovation and gain early exposure to new opportunities. This mechanism creates a virtuous cycle among projects, the platform, and the users, reflecting Aster’s commitment to building a sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem. Liquidity, Users, and Growth — The Engine Behind Aster Aster now counts over 4.6 million users, with its native token $ASTER surpassing $452 million in Spot trading volume on the first day of trading. With direct access to deep liquidity, an active trading community, and robust on-chain infrastructure, Aster provides a strong launch environment that can drive a sustainable user and revenue growth for its partners. Rocket Launch further showcases Aster’s unique position as one of the few DEXs that offer both Spot and Perpetual markets. By combining token listings and trading competitions across both markets, Aster creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem for projects, traders, and token holders. Projects gain visibility and trading activity; traders gain early access to on-chain opportunities and rewards; Aster strengthens its platform through high-potential listings and trading volume, while ASTER holders can benefit from continuous buybacks and long-term value growth. From Trading Depth to Ecosystem Growth Aster believes that the next phase of growth in DeFi will not be defined solely by fees, liquidity depth, or leverage, but by the ability to discover and capture early on-chain investment opportunities. The introduction of Rocket Launch reflects this vision, enabling professional traders to access emerging projects at the earliest stage, allowing high-quality teams to be discovered, traded, and validated by the market. “Aster is not just a platform where users execute trades, it’s where high quality assets can be efficiently priced,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Rocket Launch brings market attention to promising trends faster, allowing projects to be recognized by the market and valued effectively through real trading activity.” “Aster is not just a platform where users execute trades, it’s where high quality assets can be efficiently priced,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Rocket Launch brings market attention to promising trends faster, allowing projects to be recognized by the market and valued effectively through real trading activity.” With APRO leading the inaugural launch, Aster is steadily establishing itself as a launch platform that provides liquidity for early-stage projects.
