📌 "Not every Perp DEX is competing with the same strategy."
📊 Hyperliquid, ASTER & GMX: Three Different Paths in the Perp DEX Race
Many investors compare Hyperliquid (HYPE), ASTER, and GMX as direct competitors.
I see them as three different business models competing in the same Perp DEX market.
⚡ Hyperliquid leads the sector with around $6B TVL, 300+ trading markets, and approximately $1.8M in daily protocol revenue. Its long-term vision is to build an on-chain financial ecosystem beyond perpetual trading.
🔥 ASTER is taking a different approach. Instead of competing only on trading volume,

The $ASTER Stage 6 rewards campaign is live, and the 50% claim window is officially open. If your DEX isn't paying you to trade, you're doing it wrong.
The Logic: ASTER is allocating 64 million tokens to traders. In a volatile May market, the rebate on trading fees alone can turn a break-even trader into a profitable one..
The Strategy: Liquidity Provision (LP) Farming. I provide liquidity in the $ASTER/USDT pair while executing my standard perp trades.
The Goal: I capture the 50% claim rewards while simultaneously earning a portion of the platform’s trading fees.
Stop being the exit liquidity
