Many still don't get Aster DEX, treating it like a run-of-the-mill Perpdex and waiting for it to flop. Common critiques: "Aside from point-farmers, nobody needs it?" "Once the Aster hype fades, it's finished?"

Sort:  

For other Perpdex projects that can be true—an airdrop often equals death because there's no lasting hook.

But if Aster serves as a forward outpost toward Binance listings, it could be an essential stepping stone; recall how Alpha was assessed in earlier days

Operationally, Aster has many strategic options. Some examples:

  1. Projects aiming for Binance contracts might first need to appear on Aster
  2. Aster can issue assets internally and distribute airdrops to $Aster holders or those meeting conditions (Hyperliquid has used this model)
  1. Aster can host new IDOs
  2. Aster can enable profit buybacks
  3. Aster can integrate with Binance Wallet and other pro Binance ecosystem wallets as an issuer
  1. Alpha projects seeking Binance traction could use Aster as an intermediate contracts listing before the main Perp site
  2. More possibilities exist with further development

If Aster's position parallels Binance Wallet and Binance allocates resources to nurture it, current complaints about clunky UX, shallow liquidity, or few projects lose force

User demand can be cultivated—if listing fees rise and listings create wealth effects, demand is likely to follow. When an opportunity becomes common knowledge, profit potential shrinks

Key takeaway: identify Binance's strategic direction and align with it; that approach tends to preserve advantage
