Aster Perptual Futures incentive is here: $12 million prize pool for 6 weeks relay, achieve trading volume to unlock higher returns.

【Block Rhythm】Aster recently announced a large-scale Perptual Futures trading incentive. From December 22nd next year to February 2nd, 2026, a total of 12 million USD in trading rewards will be released over 6 consecutive weeks.

The core mechanism of the event is phased unlocking - a reward pool of up to 2 million USDF is set each week, and the specific amount that can be unlocked depends on the total volume of Perpetual Futures trading on the platform that week. If the trading volume exceeds $100 billion, 1.5 million USDF can be unlocked; if it breaks $150 billion, it reaches the maximum of 2 million; if it is below $100 billion, then it is 1 million.

The participation threshold is not complicated. Users need to hold ASTER and meet the minimum trading volume requirements each week to participate in the reward distribution for this phase. This event is running concurrently with Aster's airdrop plan Stage 5 “Crystal” phase.

For active Perpetual Futures traders, this is a good opportunity for additional rewards, especially as trading volume increases and platform popularity rises, the individual's share of the rewards will be more substantial.
