George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 1, 2026, Chainwire — Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, announced the launch of USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), featuring 125,000,000 $WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1 in rewards.

The campaign builds on AOS-2, Aster’s earlier expansion of its Aster Open Standards (AOS) framework from spot markets to perpetuals, and ties the new listings to an incentive program designed to support early trading activity around them.

Leonard, CEO at Aster, said: "AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain. The first USD1 RWA perpetuals show that model is already working."

AOS-2: A Published Standard for Perpetual Listings

AOS-2 is Aster’s standardized, onchain framework for initiating perpetual market listings, enabling projects to propose new markets through a transparent and automated process.

Applicants stake 1 million $ASTER, locked for four years with no early exit, before the proposal goes to an onchain validator vote. If approved, Aster's risk team configures the market and the perpetual can go live as early as T+1; if rejected, the stake is returned in full.

Listing access runs on published onchain rules, while leverage and other trading parameters remain under Aster's risk controls, allowing Aster to bring new markets to traders faster without giving up risk management.

That structure matters for markets such as RWAs, where launch processes, collateral terms, and risk settings can shape whether a product reaches traders in a usable form. Aster’s approach keeps the listing pathway onchain while preserving controls around market parameters.

USD1 RWA Boost Phase 1: 125M $WLFI and 6.25M USD1 in Rewards

The campaign runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, covering SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, and MU/USD1.

Users earn Trading Points through taker volume on eligible USD1 pairs, which determine their share of the USD1 reward pool, while Open Interest (OI) Points are earned by holding eligible positions and determine their share of the $WLFI reward pool. Traders using Single Asset Mode with USD1 as collateral receive a 2x boost on OI Points. Rewards are calculated across weekly epochs and distributed the following week.

"When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself. Perpetuals on gold, energy, and equities, all denominated in USD1, give traders one dollar instrument across every one of these markets, and that is what stablecoins were built to do. We are supporting these markets because this is where onchain market structure is heading, and Phase 1 is only the start," said Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial.

Building the Frontier of Onchain Trading

AOS-2 gives Aster a repeatable, onchain path for bringing new markets to the platform, and the first USD1 RWA perpetual listings show that path is already in use. Paired with ecosystem support from Aster and WLFI, the launch turns a new listing framework into trading activity from day one.

For traders, the pair list and reward mechanics show how Aster is organizing incentive campaigns around specific markets rather than using a broad platform-wide program. For the broader market, the rollout adds another example of how onchain venues are combining standardized listings with stablecoin-denominated settlement for tokenized and real-world-linked assets.

As more real-world and crypto-native assets move onchain, Aster says it aims to become a leading venue for bringing new asset markets onchain.
