What is ASTER?

ASTER is a next‑generation token/platform designed to combine high‑performance trading, advanced features, and deep DeFi integration. Its key highlights include:

  • Spot and derivatives trading in a non‑custodial framework, giving users full control of their assets.
  • Multi-chain support, enabling flexible access and deep liquidity across networks.

In essence, ASTER is a project that bridges advanced trading and DeFi within a user-friendly wallet ecosystem.
