Almost every week, there's a lineup of this many Perp DEX platforms to check out! Hyperliquid (popular among foreigners), dYdX (earned ambassador status by boosting trading volume, haha), BasedApp, Aster (a Binance-backed project), Lighter (high expectations), Perennial, Extended, Variational (more traditional). All for the sake of accumulating points and rewards from events—there's no reason not to try them out! You can selectively participate in these projects. Among them, **Aster DEX (@Aster_DEX)** stands out as one of the fastest-growing multi-chain Perp DEXs this year. Currently, it’s transforming the narrative of "on-chain stock trading" into a mainstream functionality. Recently, they’ve announced **zero fees across all stock perpetual contract categories** 🐮 (0% for both Maker & Taker), marking a significant step toward achieving the "deepest stock liquidity layer." High-volatility tech stocks like NVDA, TSLA, AMZN, and AAPL can now be traded on-chain at no cost, which is particularly appealing for high-frequency and quantitative traders. Additionally, **Aster Harvest Phase 4** introduces a new points mechanism with clear incentives: - **Takers** enjoy pure zero fees. - **Makers** not only get zero fees but also earn points that can be used for future airdrops and ecosystem rewards. This design encourages users to act as liquidity providers in stock perpetual markets, strengthening the liquidity flywheel further. At present, alongside Hyperliquid, **Aster @Aster_DEX** is one of the few projects integrating "crypto perpetuals + US stock perpetuals + multi-chain expansion." While zero fees will likely drive rapid short-term growth, long-term sustainability still needs to be evaluated (e.g., funding rates and the platform's revenue model). To sum up, this move serves as a powerful catalyst for the stock perpetuals sector. Keep an eye on this with Old Charlie and actively engage in liquidity during the points accumulation phase! #Aster_DEX
