Aster, a perpetual contract provider, issued a statement on the X platform clarifying that the recent update to the ASTER token economic model has caused confusion within the community. Aster stated that the ASTER token economic model remains unchanged. The update aimed to accurately reflect the circulating supply of tokens and address issues regarding the monthly unlocking allocation for the community and ecosystem. The monthly unlocked token allocation has remained unused and has not been included in the circulating supply of ASTER tokens. Unlocked tokens will be transferred to a separate public unlocking address, but there are currently no plans or needs to spend funds from this address.
