Aster Airdrop Postponed to October 20 Amid Allocation Review

The much-anticipated ASTER token airdrop has been officially postponed to October 20 after the Aster team uncovered inconsistencies in the allocation data. According to Friday’s announcement, several users received lower allocations than expected, prompting the team to launch a detailed review to correct the discrepancies. Updated allocation figures are expected to be released in the coming days.

Participants will also be required to decide whether to request a USDT refund, which will be distributed shortly after the airdrop.

Aster, a decentralized trading platform with ties to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, has drawn significant attention in recent weeks. Zhao serves as an advisor through YZi Labs, which also holds a stake in the project. Aster aims to challenge competitors like Hyperliquid, which has rapidly become a major player in the decentralized trading space.

The Aster airdrop rewards users based on trading activity, coin holdings, and liquidity provision, with a qualifying threshold set at 10,000 Rh points. However, the project clarified that users with identical point totals may still receive different allocations due to specific adjustments in the calculation process.

Nearly 154,000 wallets have reportedly qualified for the second phase of Aster Genesis. Once distribution begins, eligible users will be able to claim their tokens immediately without any lock-up period.

The Aster airdrop remains one of the most talked-about events in the crypto community, with many eagerly awaiting the updated data and official rollout later this month.
