Aster Unveils USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with WLFI
Aster, a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, has launched USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 in collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The campaign features 125 million $WLFI and 6.25 million USD1 in rewards.
The initiative is built on AOS-2, Aster's expansion of its Aster Open Standards framework from spot markets to perpetuals. According to Leonard, CEO at Aster, 'AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain.'
The first USD1 RWA perpetual listings demonstrate the success of this model, with more real-world and crypto-native assets expected to move onchain in the future. Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial, stated, 'When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself.'
