Aster has evolved from a Perp DEX challenger to a trading-native infrastructure provider, leveraging its existing user base and revenue to launch its mainnet. Unlike traditional approaches that seek demand post-launch, Aster's strategy integrates its Perp DEX users directly into the Aster Chain ecosystem. The Aster Code serves as a profit-sharing trading infrastructure layer, simplifying the creation of on-chain trading products by lowering entry barriers.
