Aster has established a new on-chain buyback reserve that repurchases ASTER tokens using 20% to 40% of its daily platform fees.
The reserve functions in tandem with Aster’s current Stage 5 buyback program and became active on January 19. The new reserve modifies allocations according to market conditions, liquidity, and volatility, while Stage 5 operates preset daily buybacks.
Up to 80% of daily protocol fees can be allocated to ASTER buybacks when the two systems work together. Every transaction is carried out on-chain and is verifiable by the public.
Perpetual trading fees provide the majority of repurchase money, with extra contributions via Shield Mode, a high-leverage option that directs all fees earned into buybacks.
Despite the program, ASTER has declined over the past month, reflecting broader market pressure. Aster says the reserve is designed for long-term sustainability rather than short-term price support and is expected to operate through 2026.
