ASTER "No change to tokenomics… unlocked amounts kept in lockup"

The virtual asset (cryptocurrency) derivatives exchange ASTER (ASTER) explained there are "no changes" regarding the 'tokenomics change' controversy.

On the 15th, the ASTER team said on X (formerly Twitter) that "confusion arose within the community during the process of updating CoinMarketCap (CMC) information" and that "ASTER's tokenomics structure remains unchanged."

ASTER said the update was a measure to accurately reflect the circulating supply (circulating supply). In particular, concerns had been raised about the monthly unlocked amounts of the community·ecosystem allocation. ASTER emphasized that "the amounts unlocked each month after the token issuance (TGE) were not used and were all kept in lockup addresses, and were not included in the circulating supply."

The project team said it plans to move the unlocked amounts to a separate public address to prevent confusion. They added that "there are currently no plans to use the tokens from that address" and "will disclose transparently if funds are used in the future."
