Georgetown, British Virgin Islands, March 18, 2026, Chainwire
Asterthe trading ecosystem powered by YZi Labs, today announced a significant expansion of its collaboration with Global financial freedom (Wolfy).
The collaboration offers perpetual contracts denominated in 1 USD and new trading incentives, including WLFI token rewards and reduced fees on 1 USD pairs, while also allowing users to earn additional rewards on their holdings.
The integration aims to support USD1 liquidity on the platform, laying the foundation for Aster Chain, the project’s newly launched first layer of blockchain.
Building a diversified enterprise for Aster Series
The addition of USD1 as collateral and USD-denominated perpetual markets reduces Aster’s reliance on any single stablecoin, giving users greater flexibility when launching the Aster chain.
The global WLFI community helps support Aster’s efforts to expand access to USD1 markets within DeFi.
“The success of Aster Chain depends on the depth of its underlying liquidity,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “By bringing USD1 into our core trading engine during this phase, we are building the trading foundation for the launch of the Aster Chain. Our maker fee of 0 basis points is designed to encourage participation in USD1 markets on Aster as a mainnet launch.”
“Perpetual markets are where a large portion of trading volume lives. Aster’s inclusion of USD1 pairs and matching USDT collateral ratios means that traders can use USD1 in a similar way to any major stablecoin. This is the standard we have set: functional equivalence, rather than positioning USD1 as a secondary option.” said Zach Volkman, co-founder and chief operating officer of World Liberty Financial.
Create USD1 trading position
Aster supports USD-denominated perpetual contracts, which are launching with BTC, ETH and SOL pairs, with more than 10 additional pairs planned in the coming weeks.
To encourage market participation, Aster offers a maker fee of zero basis points and a competitive fee of 0.5 basis points. USD1 is also backed as an underlying margin asset and collateral, with a collateral ratio equal to USDT – allowing traders to achieve maximum capital efficiency.
Rewards for early adopters
This partnership offers several incentives as part of the Aster Chain mainnet launch:
- Perp USD1 Trading Bonuses: Up to 2.5 million WLFI tokens are distributed monthly through USD1 Permanent Trading Incentive Program Based on trading activity, with bonuses distributed weekly. WLFI reserves all rights regarding interpretation and distribution of the program.
- USD1 Holding Incentives: Users who hold $1 on Aster may be eligible to participate in the platform’s incentive programs.
- Discounted trading fees: There are no maker fees and a buy fee of 0.5 basis points on all USD1 pairs, which is a significant reduction compared to USDT pairs.*
Aster will also launch tracking tools including entry points to the integrated point program via web and mobile, allowing users to monitor their progress and participation in early Aster Chain market activity.
*Aster’s standard buying fee on USDT pairs is 4 basis points. The USD1 acceptance fee is 0.5 basis points, which represents an approximate reduction of 87.5%. The maker fee on USD1 pairs is 0 basis points. All fees are set by Aster and are subject to change. See Aster’s fee schedule at Aster drawings page to current rates.
