### Contracts

The contract was read directly from BNB Smart Chain on 12 October 2026 (name "Aster", symbol ASTER, 18 decimals) and matches the contract on CoinGecko's listing, whose official site is asterdex.com. CoinGecko also notes that the token migrated from an older contract that belonged to APX before the rebrand; that older contract is not ASTER, and neither is any other token of the same name.

Checked on 14 October 2026: the contract's name, symbol, decimals and totalSupply were read from BNB Smart Chain through a public RPC, as were the old APX contract's name and symbol; the TGE date, the allocation and the burn target come from the tokenomics and TGE pages at docs.asterdex.com, which also describe the APX-to-ASTER exchange without stating a ratio; CoinGecko lists the same contract, records the rebrand from APX and shows a total supply net of burned tokens; the 0.45-second block time and hard-fork dates come from docs.bnbchain.org and the BNB Chain blog. The contract's creation block could not be read from a public BNB Smart Chain node. The site's route data allows three seconds per confirmation, so the 2–5 minute estimate is conservative.

## Which network should the ASTER arrive on?

- **Someone else is receiving.:** Ask whether their wallet is on BNB Smart Chain and get their 0x address (42 characters). It looks exactly like an Ethereum address; the network is what differs, and ASTER here is only on BNB Smart Chain.

- **An exchange is receiving.:** Open the exchange's ASTER deposit page and pick BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) if it offers a choice. Use the 0x address it shows. If the exchange lists ASTER only on another network, do not use it as the receiver here.

- **Your own wallet is receiving.:** Any Ethereum-style wallet set to BNB Smart Chain works. Keep a little BNB in it: the ASTER arrives without it, but cannot be sent on again without BNB for the fee.

- **Nothing decides it.:** There is one network for ASTER on this site, so the only choice is the amount. The payout fee is the same size for a small swap and a large one, so very small amounts lose more in percent.

## How to swap ASTER

1. Choose the two sides. Open the form on the home page, pick ASTER as what you send, then what you want to receive — or the other way round when ASTER is what you want to end up with. There is no separate route page for ASTER yet.
2. Enter the amount. The estimate updates as you type and refreshes every 60 seconds. The minimum for the pair is shown under the field.
3. Paste the receiving address. For an ASTER payout the form checks for a 42-character 0x address. It cannot see which network your wallet is on, so make sure the wallet is set to BNB Smart Chain.
4. Send the deposit and follow it. You get a one-time deposit address on BNB Smart Chain. Send the ASTER there in one transaction; your wallet pays the fee in BNB. The status page shows each stage and both transaction hashes, and the BSC side can be looked up on BscScan.

## Before you send — checklist

- The receiving wallet is on BNB Smart Chain, and the address is 42 characters starting with 0x.
- If ASTER is what you send, the token's contract is 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A — not the old APX contract and not a lookalike — and the wallet holds a little BNB for the fee.
- If an exchange is involved, its ASTER page is set to BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20).
- The amount is sent in one transaction, from a wallet you control.
- The status link is saved.

## What a ASTER swap costs

- **The rate is floating.** The estimate follows the market and is fixed when your deposit confirms — after 10 confirmations on BNB Smart Chain, about 2–5 minutes.
- **The network fee for the payout** is shown in the form and already taken out of "You get". A BEP-20 transfer on BNB Smart Chain is cheap compared with Ethereum.
- **Sending the deposit** costs your wallet a BNB Smart Chain fee, paid in BNB. That fee is not part of the swap. A wallet holding ASTER and no BNB cannot send.

Small amounts cost more in percent, because the payout network fee is the same size for a small swap as for a large one.

## How BNB Smart Chain works for an ASTER sender — blocks, BEP-20, BNB for gas

ASTER on this site is a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain, which makes it behave exactly like USDT on BNB Smart Chain, with a different contract. The figures below were checked on 14 October 2026 at docs.bnbchain.org, docs.asterdex.com and against the contract.

### The chain

BNB Smart Chain is, per its documentation, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, uses BNB to pay transaction fees and runs blocks at "approximately 0.45 seconds (reduced from 3s through the Lorentz, Maxwell, and Fermi hardforks)". For a wallet it is an Ethereum-style network: 0x addresses, the same signing, a separate BNB balance for gas. BEP-20 is the chain's name for the ERC-20 token standard — the same functions, the same transfer event — and an ASTER transfer is a call to the ASTER contract that the sending wallet pays for in BNB.

### Blocks and confirmations

The route data this site is built from waits for **10** confirmations on an ASTER deposit and allows about three seconds for each, which gives the 2–5 minute estimate on the status page. At the current block time ten confirmations pass in under five seconds, so almost all of those minutes are processing and the payout on the other network; the estimate is on the safe side rather than wrong.

| Stage | On BNB Smart Chain |
|---|---|
| Sent | The transfer is in a block; bscscan.com shows it with the block number |
| 10 confirmations | Ten more blocks exist; the rate is fixed and the payout is prepared |
| Fast finality | The chain's validators finalise blocks within a few more; irrelevant to the swap's count |

### What ASTER is, and what this page covers

Aster is a decentralised exchange for perpetual futures. Its documentation describes perpetual markets on crypto, stocks and commodities, a "Shield Mode" for private orders, a spot order book and an Aster Chain of its own for private perpetuals trading. ASTER is the exchange's token: eight billion at the contract, allocated by the tokenomics page as 53.5 % airdrop, 30 % ecosystem and community, 7 % treasury, 5 % team and 4.5 % liquidity and listings. What this page covers is narrower — ASTER as a balance in a wallet on BNB Smart Chain that can be swapped for another coin or received for one. The exchange, its chain and its products are not involved in a swap here.

### The contract and its predecessor

Read from the chain, 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A reports the name Aster, the symbol ASTER, 18 decimals and a total supply of exactly 8,000,000,000. The tokenomics page says burns are executed every two weeks until the total supply reaches 3,000,000,000, and CoinGecko already shows a lower figure net of burned tokens. Before the rebrand the project's token was APX; the old contract 0x78f5d389f5cdccfc41594abab4b0ed02f31398b3 still reports the name ApolloX Token and the symbol APX, and the Aster docs describe an exchange of APX into ASTER through the project's site at a ratio that "will decrease over time". The old token is not ASTER and is not what the form pays or accepts.

**BNB is the other balance to keep.** Receiving ASTER costs you nothing. Sending it is a contract call paid in BNB, and a wallet with ASTER and an empty BNB balance is stuck until BNB arrives — the same rule as for every token on this chain. [USDT TRC-20 to BEP-20, three ways](https://sablebolt.io/blog/usdt-trc20-to-bep20-three-ways) shows the chain from the USDT side.

## ASTER addresses — 0x on BNB Smart Chain — the same format as Ethereum, a different chain

A BNB Smart Chain address is an Ethereum address: 0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters, 42 in all, with an optional mixed-case checksum. Your Ethereum address is your BNB Smart Chain address; the network selector in the wallet decides which chain's balances you see. Checked on 14 October 2026.

| String | What it is | For an ASTER payout |
|---|---|---|
| 0x…, 42 characters, wallet on BNB Smart Chain | Your address on the right network | Accepted and correct |
| 0x…, 42 characters, wallet on Ethereum or another EVM chain | The same address, wrong network selected | Accepted by the form; the ASTER arrives on BNB Smart Chain, invisible until you switch |
| 0x…, from an exchange's ASTER deposit page | Correct if the page names BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) | Accepted; check the page |
| Anything that is not 0x plus 40 hex characters | Not an EVM address | Rejected |

### What the form accepts

For an ASTER payout the form takes a 42-character 0x address and checks the hex characters and, where present, the checksum case. It cannot see which network the wallet behind the address is set to. There is no memo on BNB Smart Chain. The deposit address the form shows for an ASTER deposit is an ordinary BNB Smart Chain address; your wallet must be on BNB Smart Chain, holding the ASTER contract above and a little BNB, when you send to it.

### Which address to give

1. **Your own wallet:** the address from its Receive screen, with the network on BNB Smart Chain. Any Ethereum-style wallet works; most have the network built in. If ASTER is not listed after the payout, add it by the contract 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A.
2. **An exchange:** open the ASTER deposit page and pick BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) if there is a choice. Use the address it shows. If the exchange lists ASTER only on another network — Aster's docs mention deposits from Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Sui to the exchange's own bridge — it cannot receive from here.
3. **Another person:** ask whether their wallet is on BNB Smart Chain, then ask for the address and read the first and last four characters back.

### The wrong-network payout

One address exists on every EVM chain, so a payout "to the wrong network" is a payout to the right address viewed through the wrong network selector. Switch the wallet to BNB Smart Chain and the balance is there; bscscan.com shows it under your address regardless. The case that can actually be lost is an exchange address: the exchange watches its deposit addresses on the networks it supports, and ASTER arriving on BNB Smart Chain at an address it only watches on Ethereum is on chain and credited only if that exchange chooses to. [Sent USDT to the wrong network](https://sablebolt.io/blog/sent-usdt-to-the-wrong-network) is the same situation with another token.

### The old contract

A wallet that held APX may still show it, and some old guides name the APX address for "Aster". The form watches the deposit address for the ASTER contract only. APX sent there is an APX transfer to an address the swap does not count, and it is not converted on the way; the conversion is the project's own exchange page, done before sending. Compare the contract in the wallet's token details with the one above.

## Checking an ASTER transaction — BscScan, token transfers, holders

Both legs of an ASTER swap on this site are on BNB Smart Chain, and the status page links them to bscscan.com. The fields below are what a BscScan page shows, read on 14 October 2026; Etherscan, which looks the same, indexes a different chain and will not find these hashes.

### What a BscScan transaction page shows

A token transfer opens with the hash, the status (success or fail), the block number and timestamp, and the confirmation count. Then the sender, the contract called — Aster at 0x000A…556A — and a "Tokens transferred" line with the sending address, the receiving address and the amount in ASTER. Below are the value in BNB sent alongside (zero for a token transfer), the transaction fee in BNB, the gas price and gas used. The token's own page lists its name, symbol, decimals, total supply, the number of holders and every transfer, and BscScan marks the old APX contract separately under its own name.

### A deposit you sent

1. Copy the transaction hash from your wallet's activity list.
2. Open it on bscscan.com. Not found means the wallet did not broadcast it — or it was on another network when you pressed Send, and the transaction exists there instead.
3. Check "Tokens transferred": the contract must be ASTER at 0x000A…556A, not APX and not a lookalike; the destination the deposit address from the form; the amount what you entered.
4. Watch the confirmations. The status page here updates when 10 are reached, seconds after the block.

### A payout you received

1. Open the payout hash from the status page.
2. Find your address as the receiver in "Tokens transferred". The amount is "You get" from the form — the payout fee was already taken out.
3. If your wallet shows nothing, check the network selector first, then add the token by contract. Your address page on bscscan.com lists the ASTER balance under Token Holdings either way; [Wallet shows zero after a USDT transfer](https://sablebolt.io/blog/wallet-shows-zero-after-usdt-transfer) walks through the same problem with another token.
4. Keep the hash.

### Reading the supply and the burns

The token page's total supply reads 8,000,000,000 at the contract. The tokenomics page at docs.asterdex.com says burns run every two weeks until 3,000,000,000, and whether a burn reduces the contract's totalSupply or sends tokens to a burn address is visible on the same page: a shrinking total means the former, a large balance at the burn address means the latter. CoinGecko's lower total-supply figure is the net of what has been burned. Neither changes how a transfer works. [What a block explorer shows about a swap](https://sablebolt.io/blog/what-a-block-explorer-shows-about-a-swap) is the general walk-through; [Reading a swap status page](https://sablebolt.io/blog/reading-a-swap-status-page) explains each stage.

## The mistakes that cost money with ASTER

ASTER's mistakes are the BNB Smart Chain token mistakes, plus one inherited from the rebrand: the old APX contract.

| Mistake | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Sending APX instead of ASTER | An APX transfer to an address the swap does not count | Exchange APX for ASTER on the project's site first, then send ASTER |
| A token with a similar name at another contract | Not an ASTER deposit | Compare the contract with 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A |
| No BNB in the sending wallet | The transaction cannot be sent | Add a little BNB first |
| Wallet on Ethereum when sending or checking | No ASTER to send; or the payout seems missing | Switch to BNB Smart Chain; bscscan.com shows the balance meanwhile |
| Payout to an exchange that lists ASTER on another network only | The token is on chain at an address the exchange does not watch | Check the deposit page says BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) first |
| Withdrawing from the Aster exchange on a network other than BNB Smart Chain | The withdrawal goes to that other chain, not to the deposit address | Choose BNB Smart Chain for the withdrawal |
| Exchange withdrawal fee taken from the amount | Less arrives; the payout shrinks, or the deposit is under the minimum | Set the withdrawal so that the amount arriving matches the form |

### APX is not ASTER

The project's docs describe the exchange from APX to ASTER as a step you take on its site: connect a wallet, deposit APX into a spot account, exchange at the current ratio, and the ASTER appears in that account. Nothing on this site does that step. APX sent to an ASTER deposit address is simply the old token at an address created for the new one; the old contract still exists and still reports the name ApolloX Token. If it has happened, contact [support](https://sablebolt.io/support) with the hash — what can be done depends on the amount, and the token has not been converted.

### Withdrawing from Aster itself

Aster's documentation lists deposit bridges on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Sui. If ASTER is in an Aster spot account and you withdraw it to send here, the withdrawal must be on BNB Smart Chain to a wallet you control; a withdrawal on another network produces a balance on that network, which is not the ASTER the form accepts. Then send from your wallet to the deposit address.

### Less arrives than the form expects

Exchanges deduct their withdrawal fee from the amount you type. Type the swap amount and the deposit arrives short; the swap runs on what arrived, and if the shortfall takes it under the route's minimum it cannot be processed as a swap at all. [Minimums, maximums and network fees on small swaps](https://sablebolt.io/blog/minimums-maximums-network-fees-small-swaps) shows how to read the minimum under the amount field.

**Two checks cover everything above.** The contract in the wallet is 0x000A…556A, and the network selector — in the wallet, on the exchange's deposit page, on the exchange's withdrawal page — says BNB Smart Chain. "ASTER" on its own is not enough, and neither is "BSC" on a token that is really APX.

## What changed around ASTER, and when — dated, with sources

ASTER is a year old, and its dated history is the rebrand, the token generation event and the tokenomics changes since; the chain underneath changed its block time three times in the same period. Dates were read on 14 October 2026 from docs.asterdex.com, docs.bnbchain.org and the BNB Chain blog.

| Change | Date | For a holder | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSC Lorentz hard fork: 3 s → 1.5 s blocks | 29 April 2025 | Confirmations twice as fast | docs.bnbchain.org |
| BSC Maxwell hard fork: 1.5 s → 0.75 s | 30 June 2025 | — | BNB Chain blog |
| ASTER token generation event | 17 September 2025 | ASTER exists; APX begins its exchange into ASTER | Aster docs, TGE page |
| Airdrop claim window | 17 September – 17 October 2025 | 704,000,000 ASTER (8.8 %) unlocked at TGE; unclaimed tokens redirected to community rewards | Aster docs, TGE page |
| Ecosystem vesting replaced by staking emissions | October 2025 – January 2026 ran linear; then replaced | Changes who receives new circulating ASTER, not how it moves | Aster docs, tokenomics |
| BSC Fermi hard fork: 0.75 s → 0.45 s | 14 January 2026, 02:30 UTC | Ten confirmations in under five seconds | BNB Chain blog, docs.bnbchain.org |
| Team cliff extended | To 17 September 2027 | 400,000,000 ASTER stay locked a year longer | Aster docs, tokenomics |

**The rebrand.** CoinGecko records it in one line — APX was rebranded to ASTER and migrated from the old contract to a new one — and the Aster docs describe the exchange mechanism without a ratio or a deadline, saying only that the ratio decreases over time. The old contract is still on chain under its old name. For a sender the rebrand means one thing: there are two contracts with a shared history, and only one of them is ASTER.

**The TGE.** The docs' TGE page gives 17 September for the event and 2025 for the claim window, with 704,000,000 ASTER — 8.8 % of the total — unlocked at TGE for participants of the Aster Spectra and Aster Gems programmes, claimed without gas into an Aster spot account. The contract's creation block, which would date the deployment itself, could not be read from a public BNB Smart Chain node on 14 October 2026, so the docs' date stands alone here.

**Supply changes since.** The tokenomics page records a tokenomics upgrade on 17 June, bi-weekly burns toward a floor of 3,000,000,000, a team cliff extended from 17 September 2026 to 17 September 2027 with 10,000,000 ASTER vesting monthly over 40 months after it, and a treasury of 7 % held out of circulation until governance uses it. None of this touches a transfer; all of it changes what "supply" means when you read the number.

**The chain.** The three hard forks took BNB Smart Chain from three-second blocks to 0.45 seconds between April 2025 and January 2026. The ten confirmations the site waits for took half a minute at the start of that period and take seconds now; the status page's 2–5 minutes is the processing and the other network.

**What has not changed.** The contract since the TGE, the 18 decimals, the 0x address and the need for BNB to move it.

## ASTER next to BNB, on the same chain — a token and the coin that pays for it

ASTER and BNB share a chain, an address and an explorer; they differ in everything that follows from one being a token and the other the coin that pays for every transaction on the chain. Checked on 14 October 2026 against docs.bnbchain.org and the ASTER contract; the site's counts come from its route data.

|  | ASTER | BNB |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain | The native coin of BNB Smart Chain |
| Identified by | The contract 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A | The chain itself — no contract |
| Decimals | 18 | 18 |
| Held as | A balance in the contract, under your address | A balance of the address itself |
| Fee for sending | Paid in BNB | Paid in BNB |
| Can a wallet with only this coin send it | No — it needs BNB | Yes |
| Confirmations the site waits for | 10 | 15 |
| Deposit confirmed in about | 2–5 min | 2–6 min |
| Supply | 8,000,000,000 at the contract, burning toward 3,000,000,000 per the docs | Set by the BNB Chain protocol and its burn mechanisms |
| Pages here | [ASTER](https://sablebolt.io/coin/aster) : the form on the home page, no route page | [BNB](https://sablebolt.io/coin/bnb) : in the form, and the fee token for every BEP-20 route such as [USDT TRC-20 → USDT BEP-20](https://sablebolt.io/swap/usdt-trc20/usdt-bep20) and [BTC → USDT BEP-20](https://sablebolt.io/swap/btc/usdt-bep20) |

**The dependency.** You can hold BNB without ASTER; you cannot move ASTER without BNB. Every ASTER transfer is a call to the ASTER contract inside a transaction whose gas is paid in BNB, and a wallet with ASTER and an empty BNB balance is stuck until BNB arrives. A BNB transfer is the simplest transaction on the chain and needs nothing else.

**Same address, same explorer.** The address you give for an ASTER payout is the one that holds your BNB. On bscscan.com an address page shows the BNB balance at the top and the tokens — ASTER among them — in a dropdown. A transaction page for either shows the same fields; the token transfer adds a "Tokens transferred" line, the BNB transfer shows its amount as value.

**Confirmations.** The route data waits for ten blocks on an ASTER deposit and fifteen on a BNB deposit — both from the provider snapshot the site is built from, both a matter of seconds at 0.45-second blocks, both ending at a few minutes once processing and the other network's payout are added.

**Which to send when you hold both.** For time there is no practical difference. For simplicity, BNB: no contract to compare, no APX to confuse it with, no token-listing step in the receiving wallet. For routes, BNB is in the form and underpins every BEP-20 route on the site; ASTER is handled by the form only.

## About ASTER — only what a swapper needs

Aster is a decentralised exchange for perpetual futures; its documentation describes a perp DEX with markets on crypto and other assets, orders encrypted before they reach the chain, and a spot order book alongside (checked on 12 October 2026). ASTER is the exchange's token. What this page covers is narrower: ASTER as a thing you hold in a wallet and can swap for another coin, or receive for one.

On this site ASTER is the BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain at 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A. Read directly from the chain on 12 October 2026, the contract reports the name Aster, the symbol ASTER and 18 decimals; CoinGecko lists the same address under the official site asterdex.com. CoinGecko's listing also records that the token migrated from an older contract used by APX before the rebrand — if a wallet or an old guide shows that older address, it is not the token the form pays out.

BNB Smart Chain uses the same 0x address format as Ethereum, so an address alone does not tell the form which network your wallet is on. A payout goes to the address you give on BNB Smart Chain; if your wallet is switched to Ethereum you will not see it there, although it is at the same address on the other network. Switch the network in the wallet and, if ASTER is not listed, add it by its contract.

The other thing to keep in the wallet is BNB. Receiving ASTER costs you nothing, but every transfer out of the wallet is a BEP-20 contract call paid in BNB. A wallet that holds ASTER and no BNB is stuck until a little BNB arrives — the same rule as for USDT on BNB Smart Chain.

Our route data counts an ASTER deposit as confirmed after 10 confirmations on BNB Smart Chain, about 2–5 minutes — the estimate still allows three seconds per block, although BNB Smart Chain has produced a block about every 0.45 seconds since the Fermi hard fork of 14 January 2026, so the wait is mostly processing. A swap into ASTER depends on the network you send from. BscScan shows both legs on the BSC side, by transaction hash or by address.

## FAQ

Which network is ASTER on?

Here, BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) — the contract 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A. Set your wallet or exchange to BNB Smart Chain before you paste or send.

My wallet shows ASTER at a different contract.

Then it is not the token this page pays out. One known case is the older APX contract that CoinGecko records as migrated to ASTER; others are tokens that only share the name. Compare the contract before sending.

I do not see the ASTER after the payout.

Switch the wallet to BNB Smart Chain and add the token by its contract if it is not listed. BscScan shows the balance for your address either way.

Do I need BNB to receive ASTER?

Not to receive it. To send it on again you need a little BNB in the same wallet for the fee.

How long does it take?

A swap from ASTER takes about 2–5 minutes: 10 confirmations on BNB Smart Chain, then the payout on the other network. A swap into ASTER depends on the network you send from — 2–5 minutes from TRON, 4–10 from Ethereum, 21–44 from Bitcoin.

What is the minimum?

It is shown under the amount field for the pair you selected and moves with network fees.

Can I send APX as an ASTER deposit?

No. APX is the project's old token at 0x78f5d389f5cdccfc41594abab4b0ed02f31398b3 and is not converted on the way. Exchange it for ASTER on the project's own site first, as its docs describe, then send ASTER.

Can I withdraw ASTER from the Aster exchange straight to the deposit address?

Only on BNB Smart Chain, and it is safer to withdraw to your own wallet first and send from there. Aster's docs list bridges on several networks; a withdrawal on any other network does not reach the deposit address.

Is ASTER on Ethereum, Solana or Arbitrum accepted?

Not here. The form pays and accepts ASTER on BNB Smart Chain only, at the contract above.

Why is the total supply on BscScan different from CoinGecko's?

The contract reads 8,000,000,000; CoinGecko shows a figure net of burned tokens. Aster's docs describe burns every two weeks toward 3,000,000,000. Neither number affects a transfer.

Where do I look up an ASTER transaction?

On bscscan.com, by transaction hash or by address, for both legs of the swap. Etherscan looks the same but indexes a different chain.
