Aster’s Genesis (Stage 2) distributes Rh points in weekly epochs (Monday 00:00 UTC → Sunday 23:59 UTC). Those points determine leaderboard rank and share of the $ASTER rewards pool allocated to Stage 2 (4% of total supply). Stage 2 is slated to end Oct 5, 2025, 23:59 UTC, with Stage 3 to follow.
For fans tracking favorites like the aster team, here’s how points are actually computed and updated.
The Core Scoring Pillars
Aster uses a multi-factor model to reward skill and commitment, not just raw size. Each factor updates on a T+1 basis and contributes to your weekly Rh points:
- Trading Volume Score — More volume = more Rh; takers earn 2× vs makers.
- Holding Time Score — Holding positions longer and at higher open interest earns up to 10× higher Rh, capped at 2× your weekly trading volume.
- Aster Asset Holding Score — Use Aster assets (e.g., asBNB, USDF) as margin to earn more Rh, capped at 2× weekly volume.
- Realized PnL Score — Daily realized P/L (ex-fees) contributes to Rh.
Important: For non-volume metrics, Rh is based on your weekly leaderboard rank, not absolute numbers; weights/formulas can be tuned to prevent gaming.
Teams, Referrals, and Boosts
Growth mechanisms amplify your base Rh:
- Referral share: Level-1 invites earn 10% of invitees’ base Rh; Level-2 earns 5%. Base Rh includes the four core scores above.
- Team boosts: Team multipliers are adjusted weekly; the following week’s points reflect the prior week’s boost. Team Rh is computed from previous-day trading Rh (excludes referral/previous boosts).
Fairness Controls & Epochs
To keep things competitive and fair, Aster enforces caps and may adjust weights throughout the program. Each epoch is remoted (no convey-over), so a negative week doesn’t doom your next one.
Practical Tips (Bullet Cheatsheet)
- Trade with intent: chase consistent PnL, not only size.
- Use Aster assets as margin to unlock the asset score (watch the 2× cap).
- Favor taker orders when it suits your strategy (they earn 2× volume points).
- Hold viable positions longer to feed the holding-time multiplier (within risk limits).
- Build your referral tree and join an active team for recurring boosts.
- Track the weekly leaderboard—rank matters more than raw absolute stats.
What It Means for Fans and Traders
Because ranking (for several factors) is relative and epochs reset weekly, agility beats brute force. The model rewards trading quality, thoughtful holding, and ecosystem participation—exactly the mix that can push the aster team and savvy individuals up the leaderboard. With T+1 updates, caps, and dynamic team boosts, the system is engineered to curb exploits while spotlighting real skill.
Stage 2 of Aster’s Genesis is more than just a trading contest—it’s a layered scoring system designed to highlight well-rounded strategies. By blending volume, holding discipline, asset choice, profitability, and social growth mechanics, the program creates a level playing field where both individual skill and community-driven collaboration matter. For those aiming to climb the leaderboard, it’s not only about scale, but about making each move count week after week.
