Aster Unveils Liquidity Pool Mining Campaign with Up to 140,000 $ASTER in Rewards

Aster, a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, has launched its Liquidity Pool Mining campaign. The four-week incentive program features a total reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER and runs from September 28 to October 25, 2026 (UTC). To celebrate the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0, the campaign is open to all Aster users running Perpetual Grid strategies on eligible trading pairs.

Participants will receive rewards based on their share of trading volume, with a base reward pool set at 10,000 $ASTER per epoch. Additional rewards are available based on market conditions and trading activity on the platform. Participation is automatic, requiring no registration.

The campaign builds on Aster's expanded Perpetual Grid infrastructure, giving users a new way to participate in automated trading while earning additional $ASTER rewards from eligible Grid activity. The newly upgraded Perpetual Grid 2.0 enables Grid strategies to operate independently from users' regular Perpetual trading, keeping their positions and margin separate.

The Liquidity Pool Mining campaign is available on designated eligible trading pairs, with the Week 1 eligible pairs including OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1, and META/USD1. The reward pool is shared across participating pairs, with individual rewards determined by each Grid's eligible trading volume relative to the total eligible volume generated during the relevant hourly period.
