Aster Unveils 2026 Roadmap With L1 Launch and Major December Upgrades
Aster confirms its 2025 milestones—merger completion, token generation event (TGE), mobile platform rollout, and centralized exchange listings—setting the stage for its Layer-1 mainnet debut in Q1 2026. The chain will integrate staking and governance features by Q2.
December upgrades include Shield Mode risk management, TWAP trading tools, and real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure enhancements alongside the Aster Chain testnet launch. The project, born from the Astherus-ApolloX merger, has prioritized rapid execution, with observers noting its unusually aggressive delivery pace for a protocol still scaling Core infrastructure.
