Aster DEX ends monthly linear token unlocks, distributes only via staking rewards

Decentralised exchange Aster is ending its monthly linear token unlock mechanism, under which it released ecosystem tokens at a fixed rate each month. The platform had been unlocking about 78.4 million tokens, around 1 percent of the maximum supply, on a monthly basis. Under the new approach, it will distribute about 450,000 ASTER tokens a week, or roughly 1.8 million to 2.25 million a month, solely as staking rewards.
