Unlocks

The documentation retains a 12-month team cliff and 40-month schedule, but also describes reserve burns prioritizing team tokens. Earlier ecosystem linear vesting was replaced by staking emissions. Reconcile actual balances before forecasting dilution.

Primary source ↗

Buyback

The June 17 upgrade documentation allocates 99% of daily platform fees to automated ASTER purchases distributed to veASTER stakers. Matching reserve burns occur biweekly until total supply reaches 3 billion. These are documented rules, not independently audited realized flows.

Primary source ↗

Utility

The upgraded model rewards veASTER according to lock weight. Staking emissions and fee-funded rewards need separate treatment.
