Aster DEX also came up with another user-controlled fee discount switch, allowing traders to select the time to use the 5 percent trading discount, with the platform’s native token, $ASTER. The update will be in the Assets section of the app in the perpetual section and will allow users to decide if they want to be charged fees only in USDT or by using $ASTER which has an automatic recording mechanism.
Users find control without the forced use of tokens
The exchange designed such a toggle to ensure that traders have full control over their $ASTER holdings. Mandatory fees in the form of tokens were often deducted from users, especially during promotional periods. Traders can activate or deactivate discounts at a time convenient to them to avoid losing their token balance in the volatile market with the new change.
Flip the switch to charge trading fees with the Aster discount flow, which will be a fee (5% discount) -USDT and at the same time burn ASTER to maintain long-term token scarcity with ASTER. Aster aims to have high token utility in its perpetual futures ecosystem without being forced to trade during unfavorable market swings.
The update is in line with Aster’s Trader-First strategy
The system is aligned with the overall mission of providing low-fee, trader-friendly infrastructure on Aster DEX’s BNB Chain. With the support of YZi Labs, the site is evolving to increase UX with the help of flexible real-time risk management tools, advanced perpetuals and high leverage positions. This merchant centrism is reinforced by the new lever.
Aster stated that this upgrade will be part of its growing roadmap to 2026, which consists of improved access to DeFi, improved liquidity layers, and expanded intelligent fee routing models. Switching is one of the most important steps in providing perpetual traders with transparent, customizable and frictionless trading experiences.
