400M ASTER Team Cliff Ends, Vesting Begins
Aster (ASTER) · Token Unlocks · September 17, 2027
Aster's 400M ASTER team allocation (5% of max supply) stays locked until September 17, 2027, then vests 10M ASTER per month.
Aster is a perpetual futures DEX (perp DEX) backed by YZi Labs, with the ASTER governance token. On September 1, 2026, Aster announced that the cliff on its Team allocation was extended by 12 months, from September 17, 2026 to September 17, 2027. The Team allocation is 400,000,000 ASTER, or 5% of max supply, and remains fully locked until the new cliff date. Under the original schedule 10,000,000 ASTER per month would have started vesting from September 2026; that 40-month linear vesting now starts in September 2027. The buyback-and-burn mechanism, which prioritizes burning from the team allocation, is unaffected. Traders tracking ASTER token unlocks and supply overhang should mark September 17, 2027.
