Aster Launches Perpetual Grid Trading 2.0 with Up to 140,000 $ASTER Liquidity Mining Campaign

According to BlockchainReporter, the privacy-first onchain trading platform Aster announced the launch of its Liquidity Pool Mining campaign and its upgraded Perpetual Grid 2.0 infrastructure. Running from September 28 to October 25, 2026, the four-week incentive campaign features a total reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER. Rewards are distributed hourly based on each eligible Grid's share of trading volume, with a base reward pool set at 10,000 $ASTER per epoch. Participation is automatic for users running Perpetual Grid strategies on eligible trading pairs, which include OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1, and META/USD1 for the first week.

Perpetual Grid 2.0 enables automated strategies to operate independently from regular perpetual trading by using dedicated Grid Bot subaccounts. This design keeps positions and margin separate from the main account. The platform also introduced the Grid Marketplace, allowing users to browse, copy, or reverse active strategies. Aster CEO Leonard stated that the upgrade offers greater flexibility and independence for navigating dynamic markets. Aster is backed by YZi Labs and powered by Aster Chain.
