Aster, a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, has announced a four-week Liquidity Pool Mining campaign running from September 28 to October 25, 2026, featuring a reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER tokens. The campaign is designed to incentivize users operating automated Perpetual Grid strategies on eligible trading pairs, with rewards distributed hourly based on each Grid’s share of trading volume. It celebrates the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0, which introduces independent subaccounts for automated strategies. Participation is automatic for eligible users, with Week 1 pools focusing on pairs like OURA/USD1 and META/USD1. The program aims to encourage active automated trading within the platform’s growing ecosystem.
The onchain trading platform Aster, backed by YZi Labs, has announced the launch of a Liquidity Pool Mining campaign. The four-week program, celebrating the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0, runs from September 28 to October 25, 2026, and offers a total reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER tokens.
Rewards are distributed hourly based on each Grid’s share of eligible trading volume, with a base pool of 10,000 $ASTER per epoch. “This upgrade is another step toward our broader vision of building the frontier of onchain trading,” said Leonard, CEO at Aster, regarding the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0.
The upgrade allows automated Grid strategies to operate independently from users’ regular Perpetual trading accounts. Each Grid runs through a dedicated Grid Bot subaccount, keeping its positions and margin separate.
Both Maker and Taker volume count toward the campaign, while manual trading is excluded. An Estimated Bonus APY is displayed to indicate potential annualized rewards based on recent activity, though the estimate does not guarantee future returns.
Week 1 eligible trading pairs include OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1, and META/USD1. More details are available on the official campaign page.
As a privacy-first platform, Aster features Hidden Orders to protect user trading activity. Users can follow the project on X.
The project is powered by Aster Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to support decentralized finance. More information is available on the Aster website.
