Aster launches AOS-2, extending its open listing framework to perpetual futures markets with a 1M ASTER staking requirement and onchain governance voting.
DeFi & Yields ·
Aster has activated AOS-2, the second phase of its open listing framework, now encompassing perpetual futures markets alongside spot trading. Prospective market applicants must commit 1 million ASTER tokens for a four-year lock period with no early withdrawal option before moving to an onchain validator vote. Following approval, Aster will set the market's risk parameters and target a same-day (T+1) listing; rejection triggers a full return of the staked amount.
The framework operates under public governance, with application and voting rules managed transparently. A third phase, AOS-3, is planned to follow the current rollout.
It remains unclear what specific risk parameters Aster will apply to approved perpetual markets, how validator voting thresholds will be set, or when AOS-3 is expected to launch.
