With the partnership, Genius receives preferential terms that enable it to pass savings directly to its community. As a result, traders using Genius will pay less to access Aster’s deep liquidity than they would by going to Aster directly.
“Traders don’t want to manage a dozen different DEXs,” said Armaan Kalsi, CEO of Genius. “They want one place to execute, and they want the best price. This partnership—especially around Aster Chain, lets us deliver both: a simpler experience, and better rates on one of the leading perp platforms.”
The partnership highlights a growing trend in DeFi: as trading terminals aggregate volume across chains, they gain the ability to negotiate better economics and pass those benefits to users. Genius, which launched five weeks ago, has already processed over $60 million in volume across 10+ blockchains including BNB Chain, Solana, and Ethereum.
Aster’s “Aster Code” program is designed to reward high‑impact partners with the launch of Aster Chain. Genius is among the first selected, and the collaboration will play a central role in driving adoption of the upgraded exchange.
“We built Aster Code to reward partners who bring real value,” said Leonard, Aster CEO. “Genius has shown they can drive quality volume while making trading easier—that’s exactly the kind of partner we want for Aster.”
For traders, the bottom line is straightforward: accessing Aster’s perp markets through Genius now costs less and requires fewer steps than going direct, with the full experience of Aster Chain available through the terminal at launch.
Additional details on the integrated experience will be announced in the coming weeks.
