Aster DEX launches Double Harvest Phase 5
Aster DEX has officially announced the start of Double Harvest Phase 5, running from December 15 to December 21. This final phase follows the same structure as Phase 4, with requirements designed to reward high-volume traders while encouraging long-term ASTER staking.
The program remains open to all participants, with no entry cap.
Eligibility rules for Phase 5
To qualify for the Phase 5 prize pool, participants must meet two main requirements.
First, users must hold at least 444 ASTER continuously on Aster from December 15 at 00:00 UTC through December 21 at 23:59 UTC.
Second, users must meet trading requirements on at least six days during the phase. These include generating at least 100,000 dollars in daily perpetual trading volume on eligible markets and placing at least one qualifying order per day.
Eligible markets include all perpetual pairs except BTC and ETH. These two assets are excluded from both the daily volume requirement and the minimum position size requirement.
Minimum position size requirements
Required notional values vary by asset type:
• ASTER, BNB, HYPE: minimum 30,000 dollars
• All other eligible symbols (excluding BTC and ETH): minimum 10,000 dollars
Only trades meeting these position size thresholds count toward Phase 5 eligibility.
Prize pool structure
Similar to prior phases, there is no participant cap. All users who satisfy the requirements share the weekly prize pool equally. Final reward tiers are determined by each trader’s total perpetual volume generated during Phase 5.
This structure is intended to balance fairness with incentives for high-performance traders.
BTCUSA Outlook
Phase 5 marks the conclusion of Aster’s Double Harvest campaign, and the requirements clearly target committed, high-volume participants. With no cap on participants and volume-based reward tiers, the program is built to amplify perpetual market activity and long-term ASTER token holding.
We expect increased liquidity across non-BTC and non-ETH pairs during the campaign, alongside higher staking participation. The structure also reinforces competitive dynamics among derivatives-focused decentralized exchanges.
