Aster DEX launches 125 million WLFI rewards campaign for USD1 RWA markets

  • Aster and World Liberty Financial launched Phase 1 rewards for six USD1 RWA perpetual markets.
  • 125 million WLFI rewards open interest, while 6.25 million USD1 rewards trading volume.
  • AOS-2 requires applicants to stake 1 million ASTER before an onchain validator vote.

Aster, a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, and World Liberty Financial have launched Phase 1 of the USD1 RWA Boost campaign for USD1-denominated real-world asset perpetual markets. Running from August 31 through December 31, 2026, the program will distribute 125 million WLFI tokens based on eligible open interest and 6.25 million USD1 based on trading activity. The campaign covers SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1 and MU/USD1. Traders earn Trading Points through taker volume for USD1 rewards and Open Interest Points by holding eligible positions for WLFI rewards. Single Asset Mode users posting USD1 as collateral receive a 2X boost on Open Interest Points. Rewards are calculated weekly and distributed the following week. The campaign is supported by roughly $28 million in liquidity, comprising approximately 250 million WLFI and 12.5 million USD1. Aster’s AOS-2 standard lets projects propose new perpetual markets by staking 1 million ASTER for four years before an onchain validator vote, with approved markets potentially going live as early as T+1 under Aster’s risk controls. Aster and WLFI described the initial USD1-settled markets as an early test of a broader model for bringing real-world and crypto-native assets onchain.
