Aster DEX has also come up with another user-controlled fee discount switch. This will allow traders to choose when to use the 5 percent trading discount using $ASTER, the platform’s native token. The update will be located in the permanent section of the “Assets” section of the app and will allow users to decide whether to charge in USDT only or using $ASTER with an automatic write mechanism.
Users are given control without forcing them to use tokens
The exchange designed such a switch to give traders full control over their $ASTER holdings. Users were deducted mandatory fees in the form of tokens, especially during promotional periods. The new switch allows traders to toggle discounts on and off at their convenience to avoid losing their token balance in volatile markets.
Toggle the switch to charge transaction fees in Aster discount flow and you will get 5% off fees – USDT. At the same time, we will use ASTER to burn ASTER to maintain the scarcity of the token in the long run. Aster hopes to achieve high token utility in the perpetual futures ecosystem without being forced to trade during unfavorable market fluctuations.
Updates are in line with Aster’s trader-first strategy
This system is in line with Aster DEX’s overall mission to provide low-fee pro-trader infrastructure on the BNB chain. With the support of YZi Labs, the site is evolving to improve the UX with the help of flexible tools for real-time risk management, advanced perpetual trading, and high leverage positions. Trader-centricity is enhanced with new toggles.
Aster confirmed that this upgrade is part of its growing 2026 roadmap, which consists of enhanced DeFi access, enhanced liquidity layers, and expanded smart models for fee routing. This toggle is one of the key steps in providing a transparent, customizable, and frictionless trading experience to permanent traders.
