Aster today announced that the staking feature of Aster Chain is officially launched, marking a core empowerment upgrade for the $ASTER token following the airdrop and buyback plans, and is gradually building a closed-loop ecosystem that allows long-term holders to benefit from the protocol's growth.Starting today, users can delegate $ASTER to validators and flexibly choose the lock-up period, earning weekly rewards through a dual mechanism of Base Rewards and Loyalty Rewards.To ensure network security, Aster Chain has initially partnered with Trust Wallet, BNB Chain, World Liberty Financial, Lista DAO, and PancakeSwap as validators, working together with the Aster Foundation to safeguard node security.Users only need to log in to the staking page, select a validator, and enter the staking amount. After confirming the lock-up period, the operation can be completed. The staking cycle runs from Monday to Sunday according to UTC time, and users must complete their staking before 00:00 UTC on Monday to ensure eligibility for reward settlement in the next cycle. For detailed staking guides and technical documentation, please refer to the official documentation.
