Aster Vault Beta ends as perpetual futures strategy product opens to all users

Aster Vault Beta has ended and the perpetual futures strategy product is now available to all users. The decentralized exchange said eligible users can now create their own vaults or invest in existing ones, allowing traders to package perpetual trading strategies into investable products while building a public performance history. Creating a vault requires holding at least 100 ASTER tokens and making a minimum $100 deposit in a supported asset. Aster has introduced three vault types — Public, Private and Flexible — giving managers different ways to control participation. The company said vaults are created and managed by users and that Aster does not endorse individual managers or strategies. The broader rollout follows a limited beta launched on July 24 with only a small number of managers and vaults, as Aster positions the product as an on-chain managed trading offering rather than only a decentralized exchange for perpetuals.
