Elon Musk’s AI Reveals 5 Strategies For Farming Aster Season 2 Airdrop

DATE POSTED:September 26, 2025

Aster’s Season 2 airdrop is almost over, but there’s still time to boost your Rh points before the final snapshot. We turned to Grok — the AI system integrated into X and trained on live posts, on-chain data, and community discussions — to break down what actually works right now.

Based on our prompts, Grok identified the five most effective strategies for farming Aster Season 2. These reflect real tactics traders and airdrop hunters are using today, with mechanics verified against Aster’s official documentation wherever possible.

Note that this is not financial advice. Airdrop rules may change without notice, and besides, crypto trading always carries an inherent risk.

Aster Market context

Aster’s Season 2 airdrop doesn’t reward raw trading volume in isolation. The Rh system combines several factors, recalculated weekly, which means consistent participation usually outperforms last-minute bursts.

Here’s what actually drives points as of late September 2025:

  • Volume rules: taker fills earn 2× compared to maker orders.
  • Holding time: keeping positions open adds score, capped at 2× your weekly volume.
  • Native assets: using USDF or asBNB as margin boosts points, also capped at 2× weekly volume.
  • Referrals: you receive 10% from Tier 1 invitees and 5% from Tier 2, but only on their base Rh.
  • Team boost: multipliers scale with your team’s daily Rh, topping out at 1.5× in the current table.
  • Realized PnL: profits and even losses (fees excluded) contribute to your score.

Season 2 closes with a snapshot at 23:59 UTC on October 5, 2025, when 4% of the total ASTER supply will be distributed.

Building the Aster Airdrop Points Strategy

The best approach usually involves a structured routine and a clear risk plan:

Strategy 1: Delta-Neutral Hedging for Consistent Points

Best for: Users who want to earn points without price risk.

What is it: Delta-neutral hedging helps you generate volume and holding time while staying flat on market direction.

How to execute: Open a long position on Aster and a matching short on another CEX. Use taker orders on Aster to boost points. Hold both positions for 1–3 hours, then close both legs and repeat daily.

Why it works: You generate real volume and position time, both of which contribute to Rh.

Risks: Liquidation risk if you use high leverage, plus spread mismatches across platforms. Use low leverage and keep hedge legs on different venues to stay safe. 

Also, note that the actual conversion rate of Rh points into airdrop rewards is not fixed yet. 

So, farming may cost more in fees than it returns, depending on the final token distribution.

To everyone being late to $ASTER like me:

There is a delta neutral strategy yielding ~210% APY + points on top

Simple example: Buy $1k Aster spot and open a 500$ 2x lev short on Asterdex w 500$ margin. 0 price risk.

Best for: Active users who want a taker-first plan.

What is it: This strategy maximizes Rh efficiency by leaning on high-frequency taker trades and tight holding windows.

How to execute: join a strong team and trade majors with deep books. Place 5–10 taker orders per session. Hold each clip long enough to capture time score if fees permit (about one hour per current guides). Track fees per $10k notional and use strict stops.

Why it works: taker orders count 2x versus maker.

Risks: fee burn and spike-led liquidation. Cut size if projected rewards fail to cover costs. Note that Aster has not disclosed a fixed points → token rate; final rewards depend on relative share.

TLDR of @Aster_DEX Season 2:

– 4% of $ASTER total supply being awarded, ending Oct 5, 2025
– "Rh" points are calculated as function of trading volume, holding time, PnL
– takers earn 2x points as compared to makers
– use USDF as margin to earn Rh points. USDF can be swapped 1 to… pic.twitter.com/7nYmjTvrHa
