This marks a core upgrade for the ASTER token, following airdrops and buyback programs, and is gradually building a closed-loop ecosystem that allows long-term holders to benefit from the protocol's growth. Starting today, users can delegate ASTER to validators and flexibly choose their lock-up period, earning weekly rewards through a dual mechanism of Base Rewards and Loyalty Rewards. • Base Rewards: Initially 150,000 ASTER.

Users can lock ASTER (up to 208 weeks) to exchange for veASTER; reward weighting is determined by the locked amount, lock-up period, and transaction volume. To ensure network security, Aster Chain initially partnered with Trust Wallet, BNB Chain, World Liberty Financial, Lista DAO, and PancakeSwap as validators, working with the Aster Foundation to safeguard node security. Users simply need to log in to the staking page, select a validator, enter the amount to stake, and confirm the lock-up period to complete the process. The staking cycle runs Monday through Sunday, UTC time. Users must complete their staking before 00:00 UTC on Monday to ensure eligibility for the next cycle's reward settlement.
