The agreement introduces perpetual USD1 contracts and new trading incentives, including WLFI token rewards and reduced interest on USD1 pairs, as well as allowing users to earn additional rewards for their savings.
The merger aims to support USD1 coins on the platform, and lay the foundation for Aster Chain, the newly introduced Layer 1 blockchain.
Building a Diverse Foundation for the Aster Chain
Adding USD1 as collateral and permanent USD1 markets reduces Aster’s reliance on any stablecoin, giving users greater flexibility as the Aster Chain evolves.
WLFI’s global team supports Aster’s efforts to expand access to USD1 markets within DeFi.
“The success of Aster Chain depends on the depth of its investment,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “By bringing USD1 into our trading engine at this time, we are building the Aster Chain trading platform. Our 0-bps trading fee is designed to encourage participation in USD1 markets on Aster as a mainnet launch.”“Fixed markets are where a large part of the trading takes place. Aster naming USD1 perps pairs and matching USDT collateral ratios means that traders can use USD1 in the same way as any major stablecoin. That’s the policy we put in: the same function, instead of putting USD1 in a secondary way.” said Zak Folkman, Co-founder & COO of World Liberty Financial.
Launching USD1 Trading Hub
Aster supports USD1 perpetual contracts, launching with BTC, ETH, and SOL pairs, with 10+ additional pairs planned in the coming weeks.
To encourage market participation, Aster is offering a zero-bps producer fee and a competitive 0.5-bps interest rate. USD1 is also supported as an asset and collateral, with the same interest rate as USDT – allowing traders to increase their financial leverage.
Rewards for Early Adopters
The agreement brings several incentives as part of the Aster Chain mainnet launch:
- USD1 Perp Sales Rewards: Up to 2.5 million WLFI tokens distributed monthly through USD1 permanent sales promotion program based on trading activity, and prizes are distributed weekly. WLFI reserves all rights related to the interpretation and distribution of the program.
- USD1 Holding Incentives: USD1 users on Aster may be eligible to participate in the platform’s incentive programs.
- Reduced Fees: Zero processing fees and 0.5-bps transaction fees for all USD1 pairs, significantly lower than USDT pairs.*
Aster will also introduce tracking tools including online and mobile Points Program login points, allowing users to track their progress and participate in the Aster Chain’s original markets.
*Aster’s regular commission on USDT pairs is 4 bps. USD1 currency is 0.5 bps, which represents a reduction of about 87.5%. The production fee per USD1 pair is 0 bps. All fees are set by Aster and are subject to change. See Aster’s payment schedule at Aster tree price page at current prices.
