Many people are optimistic about Aster's potential, believing that its valuation still has room to grow. But frankly, the project still has a few hurdles to clear.

First is the product experience. After using it for a while, the issues become quite apparent—the stability of login is the most troublesome, with occasional disconnections affecting trading experience, which is essentially self-destructive for a DEX platform. The interface design also doesn't seem very intuitive, leaving plenty of room for optimization.

Second is the user base issue. As a decentralized trading platform, it forms a situation of both competition and complementarity with traditional leading exchanges. But at this stage, its defensive attributes are stronger, and it lacks an aggressive stance. To expand market influence, the operational side definitely needs more effective measures—such as strategy updates, incentive activities, community building, etc. All of these need to keep pace. Solving these two problems is the only way to truly break through the current growth bottleneck.
