Aster Adjusts ASTER Token Economic Structure, Significantly Reducing Monthly Unlock Scale

Aster announced on March 30th that it will adjust its original monthly Ecosystem linear unlocking mechanism to a "staking-only emission" model, significantly reducing the amount of ASTER entering circulation each month. Previously, the Ecosystem unlocked 78.4 million ASTER per month (approximately 1% of the maximum supply). Under the new mechanism, only 450,000 ASTER will be issued per epoch (weekly) as staking rewards, corresponding to approximately 1.8 million to 2.25 million per month. Aster stated that Ecosystem and Community tokens unlocked since the TGE on September 17, 2025, have not been utilized beyond staking rewards. Related holdings can be queried at the public unlocking address. The latest issuance parameters and distribution details have been updated on the official Staking and Tokenomics pages.
