Feature Rollout and Trading Tools
Based on the report, Aster quickly moved to allow spot pulling faster than planned using the BNB chain with the cited 30 seconds of processing time.
The team has revitalized the perpetual Aster/USDT with a four-fold margin and an hourly funding rate settlement. The platform also introduced the Genesis Stage 2 scoring program, which rewards more than raw trading volumes, with the aim of supporting what is called “smart traders.”
Top users are reported to show realised profits of over $645,000 in early trading sessions.
Technical features and security
Aster has established itself as a multi-chain protocol with native support across BNB chains, Ethereum, Solana, and arbitrum, removing the need for manual bridging for many flows, according to technical notes.
This protocol uses zero knowledge proofs in its own astor chain for trade verification and taps Pyth network oracle to price supply.
According to the report, the platform uses collateral tokens such as ASBNB and USDF to help them earn returns while continuing to operate in the transaction.

Strong support
Meanwhile, platform data shows cumulative trading volumes of $517 trillion, with TVL totaling nearly $450 million.
Many of Aster's surges can be linked to the strong support of former Binance CEO Changpen Zao. His public support, which compared the platform's liquidity to “binanence levels” and praised the team's execution, has played a major role in drawing attention and capital into the project.
