Sources & Methodology

Schedule based on publicly announced tokenomics as of April 2026. Aster has historically updated emissions structurally (March 30, 2026 cut). Dates marked 'approximate' are inferred from public docs and may shift. Always verify against docs.asterdex.com and @Aster_DEX before acting on this data.

Schedule-derived computations live in src/config/tokenomics.ts and src/lib/tokenomics.ts. Live values are pulled from /api/tokenomics/supply (CoinGecko + Aster staking upstream, cached 5 min). Snapshot taken 5/1/2026, 6:11:03 AM.
