Aster cuts token emissions by 97% as it shifts to staking only rewards model
Crypto Briefing
Aster drastically reduced ASTER token emissions by 97% by replacing monthly unlocks with a staking-only rewards model.Summary
Aster has fundamentally changed its tokenomics by eliminating the previous monthly ecosystem unlock, which previously released about 78.4 million ASTER (1% of max supply) monthly. The new model shifts entirely to staking rewards, distributing only about 1.8 million to 2.25 million ASTER per month, representing a 97% reduction in circulating supply growth. This move is intended to significantly lower inflationary pressure and better align token distribution with active network participation. Aster confirmed that all previously unlocked ecosystem and community tokens remain untouched outside of the new staking distribution.
