Aster Activates AOS-2 With 1 Million ASTER Stake for Perpetual Listings
Aster activates AOS-2, creating a route for projects seeking perpetual markets while tying applications to ASTER staking. The framework replaces private talks with eligibility checks, token commitments, validator votes, and on-chain records.
Four-year ASTER commitment
Projects must qualify under Aster’s rules before proposing a perpetual contract. Each applicant must stake 1 million ASTER for four years before validators consider its proposal.
However, rejected proposals receive the full stake back. Aster has not disclosed the voting duration or approval threshold. Additionally, successful applicants cannot exit early.
Once validators approve a proposal, Aster’s risk team configures leverage, margin, liquidation, and other trading controls. Consequently, approval does not immediately open the market.
