Supported by @yzilabs and frequently interacted with by @cz_binance, @Aster_DEX is set to launch its first launch on @CoinMarketCap. Let's get started!~

The Launchpad launched by CoinMarketCap is indeed interesting, directly stitching together the task modes of Binance Alpha Points and Galxe. But to be honest, the Aster DEX project is worth a closer look, especially their designed dual points system—Rh Points and Au Points, which caters to both traders and holders' needs.

In simple terms:

Rh Points (Trading Points): Suitable for high-frequency trading players, reset weekly for a new competition, somewhat like a variant of "trading mining," where the competition is based on weekly trading volume; the higher the points, the greater the airdrop weight in the following week.

Au Points (Asset Points): Suitable for large fund low-risk preference holders, earning points simply by holding assets like asBTC, asUSDF, etc., and different assets have multipliers of 1-20 times; for example, asUSDF has a direct 20 times multiplier, earning points passively.

Participation strategies can be divided into three types:

Limited funds but love trading → Focus on Rh, rely on high-frequency trading to climb the rankings, combined with referral codes to stack earnings.

Large funds but do not want to fuss → Focus on Au, mint asUSDF or ALP for high multipliers, occasionally trading to lock in the multipliers.

Balanced type → 60% of funds in Earn, 40% used for trading, earning points from both sides.

Aster's background is also quite interesting; it was formerly Astherus, later merged with Apollo, and is now one of the officially supported Perp DEX representatives in the BNB Chain ecosystem. With the investment from YZI Labs and Binance's indirect connection (CMC was acquired by Binance), the airdrop expectations for $AST are definitely not too low.

However, the Perp DEX track is also quite competitive, with Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Backpack all playing the points game; whether Aster can break through still depends on future operations. But at least the endorsement of CMC as the first launch project on this Launchpad should bring some heat.

Final small suggestion:

If funds are limited, prioritize Rh, leveraging high liquidity to boost trading volume. A prudent approach is to hedge across multiple platforms to earn points~~

If funds are sufficient, the 20 times multiplier on asUSDF is very appealing, almost risk-free point earning.
