What to Know:
Rocket Launch lets users earn $ASTER and partner tokens by trading early-stage crypto projects.
First campaign features APRO Oracle ($AT) with a $200K reward pool, running Oct 24–Nov 6, 2025.
Participants must trade $1,000+ and hold 100 $ASTER across Spot & Perp wallets to qualify.
Aster has just announced a new and exciting project called Rocket Launch. The goal is to help early-stage crypto projects get the money they need while also giving users the chance to earn rewards by trading.
What is Rocket Launch?
Rocket Launch will help upcoming crypto projects gain traction by encouraging trading and liquidity. Each campaign within Rocket Launch features a reward pool composed of Aster’s native token, $ASTER, and the project’s own tokens. Projects give Aster funds and tokens, which Aster then uses to buy back $ASTER. The tokens are put into a reward pool, which is then given out to eligible participants based on how much they traded.
Aster now counts over 4.6 million users, with its native token $ASTER surpassing $452 million in Spot trading volume on the first day of trading. With direct access to deep liquidity, an active trading community, and robust on-chain infrastructure, Aster provides a strong launch environment that can drive sustainable user and revenue growth for its partners.
“Aster is not just a platform where users execute trades; it’s where high-quality assets can be efficiently priced,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Rocket Launch brings market attention to promising trends faster, allowing projects to be recognized by the market and valued effectively through real trading activity.”
How to Participate
To join Rocket Launch and earn rewards, users need to meet the following criteria:
- Trade Volume: Achieve a minimum trading volume of $1,000 in the designated Spot or Perpetual trading pairs.
- $ASTER Balance: Maintain a minimum combined balance of 100 $ASTER tokens across Spot and Perpetual wallets throughout the campaign period.
Rewards are distributed proportionally based on each participant’s trading volume.
First Rocket Launch Campaign
The first Rocket Launch campaign includes APRO Oracle ($AT), a professional oracle that provides reliable information across the newest ecosystems, including AI, RWA, and DeFi. APRO was made from the ground up to be 100% startup-friendly, with proof of Product-Market Fit, a strong team, and long-term profitability.
The campaign starts at 12:00 UTC on October 24 and ends at 23:59 UTC on November 6, 2025. The only trading pair that can be used is $AT/USDT. The trading pair will get a 1.2x symbol boost during this time, which will increase the possible rewards for participants. The total prize pool is $200,000 in $ASTER, plus extra bonuses in $AT tokens.
To be eligible for the rewards in this campaign, participants must have traded at least $1,000 in total $AT spot trading volume and have at least 100 $ASTER in both Spot and Perpetual wallets for the entire campaign period. Users who meet these requirements can share in the $200,000 prize pool, with rewards based on how much they trade.
Price Action on $ASTER
Since the announcement, Aster (ASTER) went up 1.95% in the last 24 hours, compared to a negative 19.57% in the last 7 days and 39.90% in the last 30 days. Even though there is a lot of “Fear” in the crypto world, the rise fits with the new Rocket Launch initiative and the fact that things are technically oversold.
Even though RSI and Fibonacci levels suggest short-term relief after a lot of selling, the new project accelerator program has increased activity on the platform and demand for tokens.
Why Rocket Launch Matters
Rocket Launch is a big step toward closing the gap between early-stage crypto projects and the larger trading community. At the same time, it gives users the chance to earn rewards for taking part. This project helps make the crypto ecosystem more active and involved, which is good for both projects and traders.
