Aster launched Grid 2.0 along with a Grid Marketplace, its upgraded grid trading tool for perpetual markets. Grid positions and orders are now managed separately from regular perp trading, so users can keep a BTCUSDT Grid running while manually trading the same market, with Isolated Margin and multiple strategies running at once.
- The Grid Marketplace lets users browse grids already running on Aster, filter by market, and compare PnL, ROI, runtime and trading activity, then copy a setup or reverse a long or short.
- When a Grid starts, initial margin is transferred from the Perpetual account to the Grid, reducing the balance available for regular perp positions; remaining funds return when the Grid is fully closed.
- Aster describes the tools as "CEX-grade" features rebuilt for a perp DEX.
