ChainCatcher reports that Aster has officially activated AOS-2, the next stage of its asset-listing framework. AOS-1 had already opened spot listings to projects meeting public criteria; AOS-2 now applies that same principle to perpetual markets, which have traditionally relied on private listing negotiations. Under the new rules, an eligible applicant must stake 1,000,000 ASTER, with the tokens locked for four years and no early exit channel. After the stake is in place, the application proceeds to an on-chain validator vote. If the vote passes, Aster's risk control team completes the market configuration and the perpetual contract goes live on T+1. If the vote fails, the locked stake is returned in full. For each new market, leverage and other risk parameters are set by Aster's risk control system, with public rules and decisions recorded on-chain. Aster also noted that AOS-3 will be introduced at a later stage. The new framework replaces the old private-negotiation path for perpetual listings.

Public listing rules reach perps

Aster has confirmed that AOS-2 is now in effect. The framework carries over the public standard first introduced by AOS-1 for spot listings and applies it to perpetual markets. Traditionally, perpetual listings have relied on private negotiation; under AOS-2, that process is replaced by an open application route.

Stake, then let validators decide

A qualifying applicant must lock 1,000,000 ASTER for four years, with no early exit option. Only after that does the listing request move to an on-chain validator vote. If validators approve, Aster's risk team finalizes the market setup and the perpetual starts trading on T+1. If they reject it, the staked tokens are returned in full.

Risk parameters and what's next

Leverage and other risk settings for each market are decided by Aster's risk-control system. The rules are public, and each decision is logged on-chain. Aster says AOS-3 will follow later.
