Key Highlights:
  • Cross-chain exchange Aster postponed its Stage 2 airdrop due to “potential data inconsistencies.”

  • The new date is set for Oct. 20, after user complaints about low allocation results.

  • The project is backed by YZi Labs, led by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao.

Airdrop Postponed

Aster, a decentralized exchange backed by YZi Labs, delayed its planned Oct. 14 airdrop after discovering data inconsistencies affecting token allocations. The new date is tentatively set for Oct. 20.

The team said some user allocations would be updated but clarified that most should remain unchanged from previous snapshots.

User Concerns and Market Impact

The delay follows social media complaints from users reporting much smaller-than-expected token rewards. One user said they were allocated just 336 ASTER tokens despite trading $9 million in volume.

Aster operates across Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain, processing over $420 billion in volume last month. Despite the delay, ASTER’s token price held steady at $1.69.
