What’s Next? Aster Increases Rh Points

Aster announced that it has redesigned Stage 2 of the Rh points program. The platform has increased the Rh points by 10 times more than before, for traders who hold their positions longer on the platform. This approach is not only an incentive for holders, but it is also a smart play for the platform itself. By rewarding the traders, it aims to secure the long-term holders.  

The trading volume score, holding time score. asset utilization score, realized PnL score, and referral & team points will contribute to this Rh point. In a blog post, Aster said, “The higher the trading volume on Aster Pro, the more Rh points there are.”
