**Aster has implemented a significant tokenomics upgrade** that redirects 99% of daily platform fees toward buying back $ASTER tokens for stakers. **Key mechanics:** - Platform fees purchase $ASTER tokens for distribution to stakers - An equal amount is burned from the team allocation - The burn mechanism continues until total supply drops from 8B to 3B tokens **Progress to date:** - 6.02M $ASTER burned under the new mechanism (since June 17) - 183.8M $ASTER burned across all programs historically - Recent two-week period saw 3.08M tokens bought back and matched with team burns **Staking returns** are variable, ranging from 5.35% APY for a 26-week lock to 28.85% APY for the maximum 208-week lock period. The upgraded model aligns team incentives with token holders through matched burns while creating consistent buy pressure from platform revenue.
