OverviewWe are excited to announce lisASTER, Lista's ASTER staking aggregator that lets any ASTER holder access the best possible staking rewards. ASTER staking on Aster Chain uses a veToken model: your rewards depend on both how long you lock. Doing both at maximum levels is nearly impossible for solo stakers. lisASTER solves this by pooling resources across all depositors so everyone benefits from the highest-tier rewards together.The Problem lisASTER SolvesAster Chain's staking model rewards long-term locking: locking for 208 weeks gives you 4x the veASTER weight of a 52-week lock. Most retail users are not comfortable committing for four years, and those who do still need to manually relock every epoch to prevent their veASTER from decaying. By aggregating ASTER deposits across its entire user base, Lista operates as a single mega-staker - one that permanently holds at the 208-week maximum, auto-relocks every epoch, and pools enough volume to consistently hit the 1.25x boost tier.How lisASTER Works1. Deposit ASTERDeposit at least 0.1 ASTER to Lista and receive lisASTER tokens at a 1:1 ratio. lisASTER is a standard ERC-20 token - it can be freely transferred and staked. In the future, it can also be used for lending, trading, and other DeFi activities. In line with Aster Chain’s epoch rules, your deposit takes effect in the current epoch; staking rewards will be claimable from the following epoch (Monday 00:00 UTC → Sunday 00:00 UTC) and claimable in the next. lisASTER’s first reward-generating epoch starts on June 1, 2026. Lista will consolidate all deposited ASTER and stakes it through Lista’s proprietary validator with the following parameters:ParameterValueLock duration208 weeks (maximum)veASTER weightMaximum (4x vs. a 52-week lock)Relock cadenceEvery epoch, automated2. Stake lisASTER & Earn ASTER RewardsSimply holding lisASTER does not generate rewards. To earn, you must stake your lisASTER. Rewards are accrued hourly based on your proportional share of staked lisASTER, and settled each epoch. Rewards from epoch N are claimable from epoch N+1 onwards. When lisASTER is unstaked, rewards will also stop accumulating. Lista currently charges a 10% platform fee.Exiting lisASTERBecause the underlying ASTER is permanently locked in the Aster staking contract, Lista does not offer a direct redemption mechanism. However, as lisASTER can be freely transferred, it can also be exchanged freely on the secondary market.Key Parameters at a GlanceParameterValueDeposit tokenASTERReceipt tokenlisASTER (ERC-20, 1:1)Minimum deposit0.1 ASTERLock duration208 weeks (permanent, auto-relock)Requires StakingYes.
