About Aster
Aster is a multi-chain perpetual DEX positioned as one of the largest challengers to Hyperliquid by volume. Built by a team with Binance roots and backed by prominent advisors, it offers a Binance-style derivatives experience on-chain, with both a simplified mode for newcomers and a pro order-book mode. Funding on Aster follows the more familiar 8-hour interval (some markets 4h).
Beyond trading, Aster runs an active points and airdrop program: trading and providing liquidity accrue points that convert into token rewards, which adds a speculative incentive layer on top of the referral rebates. On Yieldo, Aster is tracked as an additional perpetual funding source — useful for cross-venue funding comparison and arbitrage against both CEX and Hyperliquid.
As a younger venue, Aster carries higher operational and smart-contract risk than established exchanges, so on Yieldo its funding integration is gated behind a feature flag until the public API is validated. Its referral program offers fee rebates (higher tiers available on application) through a standard affiliate dashboard.

FAQ
FAQ
How often does Aster pay funding?
Aster uses an 8-hour funding interval for most perpetual markets (some markets settle every 4 hours), similar to major centralized exchanges. This contrasts with Hyperliquid's hourly funding — a difference that matters when comparing annualized funding yields across venues.
What is the Aster points / airdrop program?
Aster rewards trading and liquidity provision with points that convert into token rewards over defined seasons. It is a speculative incentive: rewards depend on the program rules and token value at distribution. Treat any airdrop expectation as uncertain.
Does Aster have a referral program?
Yes. Aster offers referral fee rebates through an affiliate dashboard, with higher rebate tiers available on application. Rewards are paid out on a regular schedule.
Is Aster safe?
Aster is a younger perpetual DEX, so it carries higher operational and smart-contract risk than established exchanges. Use small sizes, self-custody best practices, and never risk more than you can afford to lose on perpetual futures.
How does Aster compare to Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid is the larger, more established perp DEX with hourly funding; Aster is a fast-growing challenger with 8-hour funding and an active points program. Yieldo tracks both as funding sources so you can compare rates and run cross-venue funding arbitrage.
