⚡️ Maximizing Aster Farming With Minimal Costs Aster is the Perp-DEX everyone’s talking about right now — in just one week, its trading volume skyrocketed from $1.1B to $35B. 🔎 With the new Stage 2 live until October 6, over 4% of the $ASTER airdrop (~$500M+) is on the table. If you’re not farming yet, you’re missing out — but here’s how to do it cheaply. Steps: • Register on Aster (30% of fees get rebated to you). • Buy $ASTER and move it to your Perp-Balance (you’ll get a 5% fee discount when paying fees in $ASTER). • Deposit and place limit orders — fees are 3x cheaper on limit orders than market orders. • Keep trades open longer — the longer your position runs, the more points you earn. 🍀 Pro tip: To cut costs and only pay fees, use Lighter as a secondary Perp-DEX for hedging. #Airdrop Alpha | Chat
