TL;DR:
- Aster unveils Rocket Launch, a new initiative connecting traders with early-stage blockchain projects.
- The first campaign partners with oracle provider APRO ($AT) and offers $200,000 in $ASTER rewards.
- By trading and holding $ASTER, participants can earn proportional rewards and access early on-chain opportunities.
Aster is taking a bold leap with its new Rocket Launch initiative, a program designed to connect traders with early-stage blockchain projects while amplifying trading activity and liquidity across its decentralized exchange. Through this effort, Aster seeks to transform token launches into ongoing journeys that blend discovery, growth, and sustained engagement.
Rocket Launch Transforms Token Launches into Long-Term Growth
Rocket Launch creates a circular ecosystem where early-stage projects and traders both benefit. Each campaign hosts a reward pool made up of $ASTER and the participating project’s native tokens. The platform uses contributed funds to buy back $ASTER, strengthening the token’s value while redistributing rewards to active users. By participating through designated trading pairs, users can earn proportional rewards based on their trading volume share.
Aster positions itself among the few DEXs offering both Spot and Perpetual markets, creating a dual-engine environment for projects and traders alike. Projects gain exposure and real liquidity, traders gain early access to on-chain opportunities, and $ASTER holders benefit from consistent buybacks and sustained token demand. This multi-layered incentive structure highlights Aster’s commitment to a community-driven trading experience.
The first Rocket Launch campaign features APRO ($AT), a professional oracle providing verifiable data across AI, RWA, and DeFi ecosystems. With $200,000 in $ASTER and additional AT tokens in the prize pool, participants who trade at least $1,000 in AT/USDT pairs and hold a minimum of 100 $ASTER can qualify for rewards. The campaign runs from Oct. 24 to Nov. 6, with rewards distributed within 14 days after its close.
For Aster, Rocket Launch represents more than a marketing push; it’s a strategic step toward redefining DeFi engagement. “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. With Rocket Launch, Aster strengthens its mission to bridge liquidity, opportunity, and innovation in the DeFi space.
