TechFlow News: On April 7, according to official announcements, the decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster and World Liberty Financial (WLFI) have announced a strategic partnership. Both parties are advancing deep ecosystem-level collaboration and exploring integration plans for their respective tokens.

Regarding fee structure, USD1 trading pairs on the Aster platform adopt a taker fee of 1 bps and a maker rebate of -0.5 bps; adjustments may be made based on market conditions. The official statement notes that additional participant incentive programs may also be introduced, with further details to be announced separately.
