Aster directs 99% of fees to ASTER buybacks and burns, cutting supply to 3B tokens and boosting staking rewards.

Aster has revamped its tokenomics by allocating 99% of daily platform fees to buy back ASTER tokens, which are then distributed as staking rewards to veASTER holders. Each token bought triggers an equal burn from the reserve, aiming to reduce total supply from 8 billion to 3 billion tokens. This deflationary mechanism ties platform revenue directly to token supply reduction and staking incentives, with buybacks and burns fully transparent on-chain. The move enhances rewards for stakers and introduces a significant long-term supply cut, potentially increasing token value as usage grows.
