|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Aster is a decentralized perpetual exchange designed to combine non-custodial trading with features commonly associated with centralized trading venues. It supports perpetual markets and, according to the supplied profile, U.S. stock trading, with positions settled on-chain in crypto. The platform offers simple and professional trading modes, including hidden orders, grid trading, and adjustable leverage. It operates across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. ASTER is used for governance, staking rewards linked to liquidity provision, and incentives connected with the platform’s points program. Aster’s distinctive focus is multi-chain perpetual trading with advanced order features and yield-bearing collateral options. The supplied description outlines the product design but does not establish trading volume, fees, users, collateral activity, security history, token supply, or whether these features have produced durable network effects.

Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
