Astar Network (ASTR) is now available for spot trading on PulsarPro. The ASTR/USDT pair opens for live order placement at 14:00 UTC, with limit, market, and stop-limit orders all supported from the first second of trading.

Deposits have been open since yesterday so that traders can pre-position before the bell. Withdrawals will be enabled four hours after the order book goes live, in line with our standard new-listing schedule.

Why ASTR

Astar is a multi-chain smart-contract platform that bridges EVM and WebAssembly tooling on top of Polkadot. The chain has steadily grown its dApp ecosystem over the past year, with a focus on developer grants and cross-chain interoperability.

We see three reasons our community asked for this listing:

  • Native EVM compatibility makes ASTR a low-friction extension for users already deploying on Ethereum L2s.
  • Astar zkEVM, launched in partnership with Polygon, has been picking up consistent throughput.
  • Reward staking on ASTR continues to deliver real on-chain yield, which our research desk has flagged in two prior reports.

Trading details

The opening price will be determined by an auction-style call period during the five minutes before launch. After that, the book operates under normal continuous trading rules.

  • Pair: ASTR/USDT
  • Tick size: 0.00001 USDT
  • Minimum order size: 5 USDT
  • Maker / taker fees: standard tier-based schedule

Network and deposits

ASTR deposits are supported on Astar Network and on the Ethereum L1 ERC-20 representation. Please double-check the network you select in the deposit screen — funds sent on the wrong network cannot always be recovered.

There is no listing fee or promotional unlock. Trade with appropriate position sizing, and remember that new listings tend to be volatile in the first 72 hours.
