Stage 2 Genesis (S2) has concluded, marking the transition to Stage 3 Dawn (S3).
Two reward options for S2 participants:
- Option 1: Receive standard $ASTER airdrop
- Option 2: Get complete refund of S2 trading fees (essentially 0-fee trading)
Key dates:
- Oct 10th: Claim page opens
- Oct 12th: 48-hour claim window closes
- Oct 14th: $ASTER tokens become available
Important: If no choice is made, Option 1 (airdrop) is selected by default. Trading fee refunds will be processed in batches after the claim period.
Future changes: All airdrop allocations will be distributed evenly across epochs in every stage, addressing community feedback about S2's confusing distribution pattern.
