ASTER is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies currently, and it’s also the token that Zhao Changpeng frequently mentions. The coin is about to undergo significant changes. The decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Aster has released its comprehensive roadmap for the first half of 2026.
According to the company’s announcement, a new Layer-1 main network called Aster Chain will be launched in the first quarter of 2026. Subsequently, ASTER-related features such as staking, on-chain governance, and intelligent monitoring tools will be introduced in the second quarter of 2026.
The Aster team also claims to have achieved several important milestones in 2025, including the merger of Astherus and ApolloX, the launch of the token offering process, the introduction of a mobile application, listing on various CEXs, as well as the launch of new products like hedging mechanisms, profit-making trading options, and repurchase programs.
The team announced that they will switch to a new growth model in 2026, describing it as “three mutually reinforcing engines”: infrastructure development, token usage, and community ecosystem enhancement.
December 2025 will be a busy month for Aster. At the beginning of the month, Aster will introduce Shield Mode, which provides privacy protection for high-leverage trading, and TWAP strategy orders, which aim to reduce slippage through algorithmic price averaging. In mid-December, Aster will launch an upgrade for real-world assets (RWA), enhancing stock futures products with broader asset support and deeper liquidity. At the end of the month, the test network of Aster Chain will be made available to the community, allowing extensive testing of the new L1 infrastructure before its official release.
In addition to launching the main network in the first quarter of 2026, we will also introduce the Aster Code toolkit. This toolkit will help developers develop applications on the Aster platform more quickly and easily. Moreover, with the support of third-party service providers for fiat currency deposits and withdrawals, users will be able to access the Aster ecosystem using fiat currency more conveniently.
In the second quarter of this year, our focus will shift towards the token economy. We will introduce a staking mechanism for ASTER holders, allowing them to lock in tokens and earn rewards in return.
