Deep Tide TechFlow news. On March 30, according to an official announcement, the decentralized perpetual contracts trading platform Aster DEX announced important adjustments to the $ASTER tokenomics. It will replace the original ecosystem linear unlock scheme with a pure staking rewards release mechanism, compressing the token’s monthly circulating supply increase.

Under the new plan, the prior mechanism of linearly unlocking 78.4 million $ASTER per month (about 1% of the maximum supply) has been abolished. Ecosystem tokens will be released only in the form of staking rewards. The current release rate is 450,000 $ASTER per epoch (per week), equivalent to a monthly release amount of approximately 1.8 million to 2.25 million tokens.
