The Aster airdrop has been officially delayed to October 20, 2025, following reports of data inconsistencies in token allocations. This was due to members of the community complaining about errors in allocations that impacted various users. The team doesn’t want to risk compromising the distribution of the $ASTER tokens.
Reasons for the Airdrop Delay
The airdrop, which was initially planned for October 14, was delayed because anomalies were reported during the community snapshot. Users reported receiving allocations that did not match their expected amounts.
The Aster team has committed to reviewing and updating these allocations to ensure accuracy.
What Users Can Expect
In their announcement, the Aster team clearly mentioned that new allocations would not be less than the prior snapshot at the end of every epoch for the majority of users. Users will also have 48 hours after the update to choose a USDT refund if needed. This refund option will be available one day after the airdrop on October 20, 2025.
Next Steps for Participants
A total of 153,932 wallets have qualified for the $ASTER Stage 2 airdrop, marking a significant milestone in the distribution process. All eligible participants can expect updated allocation figures in the coming days. The team guarantees that there will be changes to rectify any anomalies. This move is part of Aster’s commitment to transparency and user satisfaction.
In addition to the airdrop, Aster is currently a decentralized exchange that facilitates perpetual futures trading with leverage options. The platform is gaining traction, particularly with the support of powerful figures in the cryptosphere like Changpeng Zhao of Binance.
The delay puts into perspective the need for precise tracking of data within the cryptocurrency world. As Aster prepares for its rescheduled airdrop, users are encouraged to stay informed about updates and to participate actively in the process. October 20 being the established new date, the Aster community anticipates a seamless and equitable token release.
