FAQs
What is Aster?
Aster is a multi-chain decentralized exchange that offers perpetual and spot trading. It supports trading on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum, but has plans to move to its own Layer-1 blockchain, Aster chain, for private and high-frequency trading (Q1 2026). One of its main features is 'Trade and Earn', which creates multiple streams of income by allowing users to earn a passive yield on assets used as collateral.
Is Aster safe?
Aster is considered relatively safe; it's a non-custodial, decentralized exchange, so it doesn’t hold user funds. Users need to connect a self-custody wallet, then smart contracts transfer collateral and handle trade execution. Aster uses audited smart contracts to keep funds safe, but no DeFi protocol is risk-free, and they may still be vulnerable to smart contract exploits. As Aster never touches user funds, it can’t help recover them if they’re lost. As always, it's important to keep your private keys safe and proceed with caution.
Does Aster provide tax documents?
No, Aster doesn't issue tax documents, but you can export your Aster transaction history as a CSV file and upload this to a crypto tax calculator like Koinly to calculate your profits and generate your tax reports.
