The decentralized exchange, Aster Protocol, has announced a significant revamp of its token unlock schedule, pushing major releases into 2026 and beyond. This strategic move signals the project’s commitment to long-term stability and careful planning. Why did the team make these changes? The original monthly unlock plan needed refinement, according to Chinese cryptocurrency analyst AB Kuai.Dong, who shared details from a conversation with the Aster team on X (formerly Twitter). Delays were made because the project didn’t finalize a clear use-case for its tokens within their ecosystem. This cautious approach reflects the Aster team’s preference for well-planned execution over rushed initiatives.
