About

What it answers, and for whom.

Aster is a perpetuals exchange formed from the merger of APX Finance and Astherus, and its ASTER token launched on BNB Chain in 2025. It runs two products: Pro, an order book with hidden orders, and Simple, one-click trading against Aster's liquidity pool at very high leverage. Collateral is deposited from BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum and Solana, and in 2026 Aster launched its own chain, Aster Chain, built for private on-chain trading.

Questions about how much of Aster's reported volume is organic make the source of each figure matter, so this dashboard separates them. Deposits, withdrawals and the liquidity pool are read from Aster's contracts; Pro order book volume, open interest and funding are recorded from Aster's published market data and marked venue-reported; trades that settle on Aster Chain are read from that chain. The share of volume backed by on-chain settlement sits beside the total.

Aster's fees fund ASTER buybacks: under its current program, tokens bought on the market go to veASTER stakers and a matching amount is burned. The buybacks page counts each purchase and burn from the addresses that make them.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Deposits and withdrawals are the collateral transfers into and out of Aster's vault contracts on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum and Solana, read at each day's last block or slot.
  2. Pro order book volume, open interest and funding come from Aster's published market data and are recorded with that source and the time of each read, labelled venue-reported.
  3. The liquidity pool behind Simple trading is read from its contracts: assets held, pool token supply and price, so the pool's result against traders is measured on-chain.
  4. ASTER buybacks and burns are the purchases and burn transfers of the buyback and treasury addresses Aster publishes, and veASTER rewards are read from their distribution transactions.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is Aster DEX?

A perpetuals exchange that started on BNB Chain, formed when APX Finance and Astherus merged. It offers an order book for active traders and a simpler pool-based mode, accepts collateral from several chains and now also settles trades on its own Aster Chain.

Is Aster volume real?

This dashboard cannot see inside Aster's matching engine, so it does not rule on that. It shows how much of the reported volume is backed by on-chain settlement and how volume compares with open interest and deposits over time, so readers can weigh the figures themselves.

What is the difference between Aster Pro and Simple?

Pro is an order book with limit orders, hidden orders and the usual trading tools. Simple lets traders open a position in one click against Aster's liquidity pool, which takes the other side, at leverage far higher than Pro allows.

What is Aster Chain?

Aster's own layer 1, launched in 2026 for on-chain derivatives trading, with privacy features that hide order and position details from other users. Trades that settle there are read from the chain itself.

How do ASTER buybacks work?

Aster uses its daily fees to buy ASTER on the market. Under the program in place since June 2026, the tokens bought go to veASTER stakers and an equal amount is burned from reserves. The dashboard counts both from the buyback and burn transactions.

veASTER
Staked ASTER that receives the tokens Aster's buybacks purchase.
Venue-reported
A figure published by the exchange itself and recorded with its source, not read from a chain.
Hidden order
An order kept off the visible book until it fills, offered in Aster Pro.
Aster liquidity pool
The pool that takes the other side of Simple mode trades, whose providers share its result against traders.
