Gate News news. On March 30, according to an official announcement, the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Aster DEX said it would adjust the $ASTER token economic model, replacing the original ecosystem linear vesting unlock plan with a pure staked rewards release mechanism to reduce monthly token circulating supply increases. Under the new plan, the original mechanism that linearly unlocked 78.4 million $ASTER each month (about 1% of the maximum supply) has been discontinued. Ecosystem tokens will be released only in the form of staking rewards. The current release rate is 450,000 $ASTER per epoch (per week), which translates to a monthly release amount of approximately 1.8 million to 2.25 million tokens.
