Aster is officially one year old today, and we still need to keep shipping and building.  There are many ways to measure the length of a year. For me, the most meaningful one is how far we’ve expanded the boundaries of what Aster can do. A year ago, Aster was primarily a perp DEX. Since then, we’ve built a chain, added entirely new asset classes, opened up the listing process, and kept pushing for a better onchain trading experience. On markets: •Global equity, commodity and pre-IPO perpetuals •USD1 RWA perpetuals, with Aster being the first DEX to list them •Prediction markets On infrastructure: •Aster Chain mainnet •Staking and onchain governance •Aster Code for ecosystem builders •AOS-1, where spot listings are decided by validator vote instead of private negotiation •AOS-2, extending the same model to perpetuals For traders: •Zero maker fees on crypto pairs and negative maker fees on RWA pairs •Some of the lowest RWA trading fees in the market •Hidden Orders, Chase Order, TWAP, Scale Orders and sub-accounts •Aster Vault •Binance Connect and Binance Wallet integrations And on $ASTER itself: •99% of daily platform fees go toward buying back $ASTER, with every burn executed on schedule and publicly verifiable onchain •We extended the unlock cliff for 400,000,000 team-allocated $ASTER by another twelve months A broader scope means more users from all over the world and a greater responsibility. We’re nowhere near done. For year two, I want us to spend even more time on the small things that make Aster a better product. So today we’re launching the Aster UX Enhancement Program, Season 1, with 10,000 aFEE set aside for user feedback. No need for a formal report or a long write-up. Whenever you're using ASTER in your daily work and something feels the least bit frustrating or off, just tell us here: 
asterdex.com/en/feedback 1000 slots are open on the feedback page. If we find your feedback useful and act on it, you’ll receive 10 aFEE in your account, enough to cover your next 10 USDT in trading fees. Help us make year two better.
