Aster is a fast-rising decentralized derivatives exchange focused on perpetual-futures trading — leveraged bets on price that, unlike normal contracts, never expire. It aims to give traders a centralized-exchange-like experience (deep liquidity, fast execution, advanced order types) while keeping custody and settlement on-chain. Perpetuals are one of the highest-volume products in all of crypto, so a competitive on-chain perp venue addresses a very large market.
Aster gained significant attention as part of a wave of new, well-funded trading platforms in the BNB Chain orbit, backed by prominent Binance-aligned capital. The ASTER token is tied to the platform's growth and is typically used for incentives, fees and governance within its ecosystem. Because it deals in leverage, the platform is aimed at more experienced traders, and leverage greatly amplifies both gains and losses.
As a newer entrant, it is also more dependent on sustained volume and incentives than long-established protocols. For newcomers, think of Aster as an on-chain venue for leveraged perpetual trading that rose quickly as a hot derivatives play.
