On September 1, 2026, Aster announced new token listing details, revealing that the vesting period for 400 million ASTER tokens (5% of the total supply) has been extended to September 17, 2027. The tokens, originally scheduled to unlock at 10 million per month starting September 17, 2026, have remained fully locked since the TGE. This update does not affect the buyback and burn mechanism, with team tokens prioritized for destruction. This token launch announcement underscores Aster’s continued commitment to tokenomics stability.

ChainThink reports that on September 1, according to an official announcement, Aster extended the cliff period for the release of 400 million ASTER tokens allocated to the team (5% of the total supply) from September 17 by 12 months to September 17.

Originally planned to unlock 10 million ASTER per month starting September 17, this portion of tokens has remained fully locked since TGE and will continue to be locked until the new date.

Aster stated that this adjustment does not affect the ASTER buyback and burn mechanism: for every ASTER token bought back, an equal amount is burned from the reserve, and the team allocation portion is prioritized for burning.
