Aster, a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, launched a four-week Liquidity Pool Mining campaign offering up to 140,000 $ASTER from September 28 to October 25, 2026, UTC. The program marks the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0 and is open to users running strategies on eligible trading pairs, with participation automatic and rewards allocated hourly according to each Grid's share of eligible trading volume. The base reward is 10,000 $ASTER per epoch, while additional rewards depend on market conditions and platform activity. Grid 2.0 separates automated strategies from manual Perpetual trading through dedicated subaccounts, supports Cross and Isolated Margin, and allows up to 50 independent Grid strategies per account under Isolated Margin. Aster's Grid Marketplace provides strategy metrics and Copy and Reverse functions. Week 1 pairs are OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1 and META/USD1, with more pairs potentially added in later weeks.
