- Point Accumulation Deadline: October 5, 2025 (points system closes, so no further points can be earned after this date).
- Airdrop Claim Window: Likely open until October 17, 2025, at 09:00 UTC, based on available information, though you should verify this on the official Aster airdrop portal.
- Token Generation Event (TGE): Occurred on September 17, 2025, marking the launch of $ASTER tokens.
- Season 2 Token Allocation: Approximately 4% of the $ASTER supply (~$450M) is allocated for the Season 2 airdrop.
Season 2 Point System
The point system for Season 2 (Aster Genesis: Stage 2) rewards users for various activities on the Aster decentralized perpetuals exchange. Points (likely Rh and Au points, consistent with earlier campaigns) determine your $ASTER token allocation. You can earn points through:
- Trading Volume: Higher trading activity (perpetual futures in Simple or Pro mode) earns more points.
- Position Holding Time: Holding open positions longer contributes to your points.
- Referral Activities: Inviting friends via referral links or participating in referral programs boosts your score.
- Team Boosts: Engaging in community or team-based initiatives announced on Aster’s official channels.
- Using asBNB or USDF as Margin: Trading with Aster’s liquid staking token (asBNB) or stablecoin (USDF) as collateral earns additional points.
- Profit or Loss Realized: Points are awarded based on realized profits or losses during the campaign.
Register Steps:
Visit the Aster exchange. Click the button and select Solana or Evm chain. Visit Aster Dex official website and download the App (Because the app has a Pro version for futures trade that can reward points). Connect your wallet with the app. Try a mobile or desktop version. If you cannot connect to your wallet, register with your email. Then all set. Register here the link Aster Exchange
Deposit method: When you deposit USDT in your wallet, convert it into USDF stable coin (Aster stable coin) or AsBNB which will get more benefits. But when you trade, you will get USDT shows on the trading platform. I use the BNB chain to do the deposit.

Points System: “RH”
Eligibility and allocation size are determined by a points system.
• Points Name: RH
• Crediting Frequency: Hourly
• Core Principle: The more RH points a user accumulates, the larger their final token allocation will be. You need to use desktop to view your RH points.
Core Strategies for Maximizing Airdrop Allocation
A multi-faceted approach is recommended to maximize the accumulation of RH points.
1. High-Volume Trading with Leverage
The primary driver for earning points is trading volume. To amplify this, the use of perpetual contracts (leveraged futures) is heavily recommended over spot trading.
• Example: A $1,000 position with 50x leverage generates $50,000 in trading volume, significantly increasing the rate of point accrual compared to a non-leveraged trade. (High Risk – DYOR)
• Recommended Assets: Scalp trading Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with tight stop-losses and take-profits is the suggested method for generating volume. (I prefer Solana (SOL)
2. Optimal Margin and Wallet Configuration
The choice of wallet and margin asset directly impacts the efficiency of point generation.
• Wallet: Use a MetaMask wallet to interact with the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
• Margin Assets: Instead of standard stablecoins, users should mint Aster’s proprietary assets to use as margin.
◦ Mint USDF (Aster’s stablecoin) using USDT on BSC.
◦ Mint ASBNB using BNB on BSC.
• Benefit: Using USDF or ASBNB as margin provides a “higher ratio of airdrop points.” Additionally, using USDF as collateral is stated to earn a 16.7% – 17% APY.
3. Trade-Specific Tactics
Several factors related to trade execution and management can increase RH point earnings.
• Trade Type: Taker trades (e.g., market orders) earn twice the points of maker trades (e.g., limit orders). However, it is noted that limit orders are preferable to avoid price spread.
• Profitability (PNL): It is believed that trades closed in profit generate more points than those closed at a loss.
• Position Duration: Holding positions open for longer periods earns more RH points over time.
4. The Team and Referral System
A referral system provides a “team boost” that increases point generation for all members.
• Mechanic: The more total volume a team generates, the larger the points boost for every individual member.
• Referral Structure: Users can join a team by using an invite code. The source’s presented structure offers a 10% rebate on fees, which is split 5% to the referrer and 5% back to the invited user.
