Aster Clarifies Tokenomics After Confusion Over Token Unlock Delays
Aster clarified that its tokenomics remain unchanged following community confusion caused by an update on CoinMarketCap regarding token unlocks.Summary
Aster issued a clarification to its community after a miscommunication on CoinMarketCap (CMC) led users to believe the project had altered its token unlock schedule, causing confusion. The team confirmed that the ASTER tokenomics are unchanged, attributing the issue to a CMC update that incorrectly listed major upcoming unlocks in 2025 and 2035, which implied 75% of the supply was still locked against prior statements about delaying 2025 unlocks to mid-2026. Aster stated the CMC update was intended only to correct circulating supply data and clarify the status of unused ecosystem tokens, which have never entered circulation since the TGE. To prevent future misunderstandings, Aster will now move these unlocked-but-unused tokens to a dedicated, public unlock address, assuring holders they have no plans to spend from it. This incident underscores how unclear circulating supply data can impact market perception and price action.
