Astherus, a leading multi-asset liquidity hub backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), has rebranded to Aster. This strategic shift positions the platform as the premier decentralized perpetual trading exchange (DEX). The rebranding introduces Aster’s new token ticker $AST, replacing the current $APX token. This follows the merger between Astherus and decentralized perp protocol APX Finance, collectively processing over $258 billion in trading volume. Aster offers two modes: Simple Mode for on-chain, one-click perpetual trading with up to 1001x leverage and Pro Mode featuring an advanced order book interface for deep liquidity, low fees, and powerful tools.
