I did some research on $AST and found something pretty interesting: @ast_dotfun , a meme launchpad built on top of @Aster_DEX
So far, I haven’t found any official confirmation from the AsterDEX team that @ast_dotfun is an official partner or Aster-owned project, so I’m not going to overstate that part.
But the technical connection is real:
Tokens launched on ast.fun are created on BNB Chain, while their leveraged perp exposure is managed through Aster. Users can launch meme tokens tied to markets like BTC, ETH and BNB with 2x / 3x / 5x LONG or SHORT exposure.
Their native token, $AST:
🔸Launched on Four.meme
🔸Migrated to PancakeSwap after the bonding curve
🔸 1B max supply
🔸 Protocol revenue is used for AST buybacks
🔸 Bought-back AST is burned 🔥
What makes it even more interesting is that the ast fun account has directly interacted with Ryan from Aster and publicly said:
“We chose #Aster to build on.”
For now, the best way to describe it is:
An independent meme/perp launchpad built on Aster infrastructure.
Whether Aster officially acknowledges or partners with it later is something I’ll be watching closely. 👀
NFA. DYOR.
