Aster Bolsters Collaboration with World Liberty Financial for Aster Chain Launch
Aster, a trading ecosystem backed by YZi Labs, has expanded its collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI). This partnership introduces USD1-denominated perpetual contracts and new trading incentives.
The integration aims to support USD1 liquidity on the platform, laying the groundwork for Aster Chain, the project's newly-launched Layer 1 blockchain. Adding USD1 as collateral and USD1-denominated perpetual markets reduce Aster's reliance on any single stablecoin.
Aster supports USD1-denominated perpetual contracts, launching with BTC, ETH, and SOL pairs, with an additional 10+ pairs planned in the coming weeks. To encourage market participation, Aster is offering zero-bps maker fees and a competitive 0.5-bps taker fee.
