Back to collectionAster Documents Fee-Funded Buyback and Reserve Burn
The documented mechanism directs 99% of daily platform fees to ASTER buybacks and burns an equal reserve amount, while distributing repurchased tokens to stakers.
Aster’s tokenomics documentation now states that 99% of daily platform fees are used to buy ASTER through a time-weighted process that settles to a public buyback wallet. The repurchased tokens are distributed to veASTER stakers as additional loyalty rewards.
For each ASTER bought back, the mechanism burns an equal amount from reserves, starting with the team allocation; the document says biweekly burns continue until total supply reaches 3 billion. This supports the mechanism’s verified core, but not the social post’s separate “198%” framing, which Night Ash omits because the documentation does not define that calculation. The policy links activity to buybacks and reserve destruction, but future execution amounts still depend on fees and onchain settlement.
