Aster Stage 6 Airdrop Claim Starts November 4: Who Is Eligible?

If you chose the long road for the Aster Stage 6 airdrop, your patience is about to pay off. On November 4, 2026 at 12:00 UTC, Aster opens the full claim window for the Convergence stage. 

Eligible users who selected the six-month vesting option can now take their entire allocation in one go, no more waiting, no further locks.

This guide covers everything you need: exact dates, ASTER eligibility rules, how the Aster vesting worked, a clear step-by-step on how to claim ASTER, safety tips, and what happens to the tokens after you claim. We also clear up the October 28 confusion so you don’t miss the real window.

The claim runs until December 4. Miss it and those tokens stay locked forever. Let’s get you ready.

Key Takeaways

• The Aster claim November 4 window opens at 12:00 UTC and closes December 4, 2026, only for users who chose the full six-month vesting option.
• Stage 6 distributes 64 million ASTER (about 0.8% of total supply), landing directly in your Aster app Spot Assets with zero extra vesting.
• Early claimants who took 50% in May permanently forfeited the rest; those tokens were burned. Waiting users receive 100%.

What Is the Aster Stage 6 Airdrop?

Source: x/aster

Aster is a multi-chain perpetual and spot DEX backed by YZi Labs. Stage 6, called Convergence, rewarded active traders with points based on their volume and activity. 

Anyone who reached at least 10,000 points qualified for a share of the 64 million ASTER allocation.

This stage was designed with a clear choice:

The decision window ran from April 20 to May 2, 2026. Once May 2 passed, the choice was locked. There is no way to switch sides now.

At current prices around $0.70, the full 64 million ASTER is worth roughly $45 million. That makes this one of the more meaningful unlocks in the mid-cap DeFi space right now.

Aster Claim November 4: Exact Dates and Timeline

Official Aster allocation page confirms the schedule:

• 100% Vested Claim Opens: November 4, 2026 at 12:00 UTC
• Claim Window Closes: December 4, 2026 at 12:00 UTC
• Tokens become available immediately upon claim

Some earlier roundups mentioned October 28. That date does not appear on Aster’s official allocation page. 

Treat November 4 as the correct date. Always double-check the official page on the day itself in case of any last-minute adjustment.

Full Stage 6 Timeline at a Glance

The design intentionally rewards those who waited. The same pool that paid half in May now pays the full amount to patient holders.

ASTER Eligibility: Who Can Claim?

Only one group is eligible for the Aster Stage 6 airdrop full claim:

• You must have earned at least 10,000 points during Stage 6.
• You must have selected the six-month vesting option between April 20 and May 2, 2026.
• You must use the same wallet that participated in the trading activity.

If you claimed the 50% payout in May, your remaining allocation was forfeited and burned. There is nothing left to claim in November.

Quick eligibility check list:

• Did you trade enough to hit 10,000+ points?
• Did you choose “wait for 100%” during the April–May window?
• Do you still control the original wallet?

If the answer to all three is yes, you are in.

How the Aster Vesting System Worked

Aster structured every Stage 6 allocation as half “base” and half “vesting bonus.”

• Choosing early payout kept the base (50%) and permanently burned the bonus.
• Choosing the full wait kept both halves locked until November 4.

This created a clear incentive. Waiting users receive twice what early claimants received from the same allocation size. 

The forfeited tokens are publicly tracked as burned on the allocation page, so the circulating supply impact is transparent.

Once you claim on or after November 4, the tokens arrive with no further vesting. They are fully liquid in the Aster app under Spot Assets.

How to Claim ASTER on November 4 – Step by Step

Follow these steps carefully. The process is straightforward, but scammers will be active.

1. Bookmark the official page now: Go only to the official Aster allocation page (asterdex.com allocation section). Do not click any link from X, Telegram, or Discord that claims to be the claim portal.

2. Connect the correct wallet: Use the same wallet you traded with during Stage 6. Hardware wallets are recommended if your allocation is large.

3. Wait until 12:00 UTC on November 4: The claim button will not work before this time. There is no advantage to being first, the window stays open a full month.

4. Review the transaction carefully: A legitimate claim should only request a simple claim function. It should never ask for unlimited token approvals or your seed phrase.

5. Confirm and wait for the tokens: Once the transaction confirms, the full ASTER amount appears in your Aster app Spot Assets balance.

6. Optional next steps: You can leave the tokens in the app, transfer them, stake them (future emissions are moving toward staking), or trade them on supported exchanges.

Pro tip: You do not need to claim in the first hour. Servers can be busy and fake sites flood social media right at the open. Claiming later in the day or even a week later is completely fine.

Safety Tips for the ASTER Airdrop Claim

Big claim windows always attract phishing attempts. Protect yourself:

• Only use the official Aster website. Double-check the URL every time.
• Never enter your seed phrase or private key on any “claim” site.
• Be suspicious of any message that creates urgency (“Claim now or lose everything”).
• Use a hardware wallet for larger amounts.
• If something looks off, close the tab and go back to the official page from a fresh bookmark.

Aster has already seen similar activity around other campaigns. Expect the same noise here.

What Happens After You Claim?

Claimed tokens land directly in the Aster app Spot balance and are fully unlocked. There is no cliff, no linear vesting, and no lock-up period left.

From there you can:

• Hold
• Trade on Aster’s own spot or perpetual markets
• Move to other exchanges
• Participate in future Aster programs (staking is expected to become the main emission path after Stage 6)

Stage 6 was positioned as the final major trading-activity airdrop. Future rewards are expected to shift more toward staking and liquidity provision.

Current Market Context for ASTER

Source: Bitrue

Around early November 2026, ASTER trades near $0.69–$0.71 with a market cap in the $1.8–1.9 billion range and a ranking in the top 50. 

The token is down significantly from its September 2025 peak near $2.41, so the November unlock lands in a different price environment than the original May claims.

Whether the 64 million tokens create short-term selling pressure or are absorbed by demand depends on how many holders decide to sell versus hold or stake. 

The fact that only the patient cohort receives the full amount may reduce immediate sell pressure compared with a standard unlocked airdrop.

Why This Claim Matters

For eligible users, the difference between the two options is substantial. Using a simple example:

• Full allocation: 10,000 ASTER
• Early claim value (at ~$0.71): ~$3,550
• Full claim value (same price): ~$7,100

The actual price on November 4 will of course determine the final dollar value, but the token amount itself doubles for those who waited.

This structure also sends a clear signal from the project: long-term participants were prioritized.
