FEES & SAVINGS
Where to Read About Aster Fees
An index, not an answer. What you pay on Aster depends on which surface you trade and which discounts you have switched on, and each of those has its own guide below.
Four separate questions get filed under “Aster fees” and they have different answers. What the venue charges per trade is one. What the two stacking discounts take off is another. High-leverage Simple mode runs on a pricing model that shares almost nothing with the order book. And where the collected fees end up — the buyback — is a token question rather than a trading one. Pick the one you came for.
THE FULL SCHEDULE
Aster Fees Explained: Perps, Spot, 1001x & ASTER Discounts
The rate card and the reasoning behind it — maker and taker on USDT- and USD1-margined perps, order-book spot, the 1001x model, and worked examples of what a given trade actually costs. Start here if you want a number.
DISCOUNT ONE
Staking ASTER & the Pay-in-ASTER Discount
Holding and staking the token changes what you pay. How veASTER works, what the pay-in-ASTER toggle takes off, and how the two interact.
DISCOUNT TWO
The Referral Discount (Code MMTz04)
A second reduction that stacks with the first. It is applied at sign-up, it cannot be added to an existing account afterwards, and it runs for 365 days — so the ordering matters.
A DIFFERENT MODEL
1001x Mode & How It Is Priced
Simple mode is not the order book with a bigger number, and it is not priced like it either. Open and close fees on notional, the extreme-leverage tier, and the network execution fee.
WHERE THE FEES GO
Fee Buyback & Burn Tokenomics
The other half of the question: what Aster does with the fees it collects, and what the buyback means for ASTER supply.
Before you size a position: Aster revises its fee schedule regularly, so treat every figure on this site as a dated snapshot and confirm the live numbers in the official Aster documentation and in the app.
