Margin settings: the implication
Check the actual funds exposed by the chosen setting. Auto/Manual Margin and cross/isolated margin are not equivalent labels.
DN Decision Briefs / Evidence comparison
MYX V2 vs Aster
Compare MYX V2 profit portability with Aster margin and transfer constraints. Fee labels, realised profits and promotional credits need separate checks.
What Matters
Compare like with like. Keep the gaps visible.
2 pinned documentation briefs compared by decision condition. Not a live execution test, security audit, exhaustive product inventory or individual eligibility assessment.
This comparison uses MYX V2, not earlier MYX mechanics, and Aster perpetual documentation. A MYX profit lock and an Aster margin-based transfer limit are different restrictions; neither is used to infer that the other platform has no additional restrictions.
DN Evidence Block
The conditions side by side.
| Decision factor | MYX V2 | Aster |
|---|---|---|
| Margin settings | The V2 opening guide lists USDC and USDT as margin. Its Auto Margin setting uses available margin, wallet balance and realized PnL; Manual Margin lets the user specify capital. MYX V2 opening a position | The margin guide describes cross margin as shared across positions and isolated margin as allocated to one position. It says mode changes are restricted once positions or open orders exist. Aster margin modes |
| Fee classification | V2 defines maker and taker by whether a trade reduces or increases directional imbalance. Trading fees apply to notional and also depend on market rating and VIP tier. MYX V2 trading fees | The perpetuals overview advertises separate maker and taker rates. It does not establish the total cost of a particular order and holding period. Aster orderbook perpetuals |
| Execution limitations | The V2 execution guide uses a liquidity-rating-dependent capacity and curve for one-sided exposure, with time and price windows. MYX V2 slippage and execution price | The TWAP guide describes execution as best effort and subject to liquidity, volatility and possible slippage. Aster TWAP orders |
| Holding and borrowing costs | The funding guide describes time-based accrual with tracker updates and settlement on position-changing interactions. Funding is separate from trading fees. MYX V2 funding | Multi-Asset Mode operates only with cross margin. The guide describes automatic asset conversion and hourly interest on negative balances beyond the stated exemption threshold. Aster single-asset and multi-asset modes |
| When funds can move | Some markets apply Profit Lock. New profit in the same market refreshes the timer; locked profit can support that market but cannot be withdrawn or used as collateral elsewhere. MYX V2 profit lock | The transfer guide calculates limits using margin requirements, open orders and unrealized PnL. The formula changes with cross or isolated mode. Aster maximum transfers |
| Additional conditions | The guide allows LP manipulation appeals during the lock. An appeal extends the lock through resolution and can result in release or clawback. MYX V2 profit lock | The AFEE guide says AFEE offsets trading fees but cannot open positions as margin or cover funding, liquidation fees and other costs. Aster AFEE and BonusUSD |
| What remains unmeasured | This pinned snapshot provides no independent measurements of execution, withdrawal reliability or individual eligibility. | This pinned snapshot provides no independent measurements of execution, withdrawal reliability or individual eligibility. |
Fee classification: the implication
MYX maker/taker classification depends on imbalance. Do not apply an orderbook interpretation or compare headline rates without the actual market and execution conditions.
Execution limitations: the implication
A curve-based quote and a TWAP instruction are different mechanisms. Neither establishes guaranteed execution at a target price or size.
Holding and borrowing costs: the implication
Include the holding period and any asset shortfall. Funding accrual and account borrowing are distinct charges, not interchangeable rates.
When funds can move: the implication
Realised profit is not automatically withdrawable cash. Check MYX market lock settings and Aster account transfer capacity separately.
Additional conditions: the implication
A lock appeal can affect profit release; fee credits have limited uses. Neither a normal timer nor a promotional balance is a payout guarantee.
What remains unmeasured: the implication
Live withdrawal timing, execution quality, permissions and individual eligibility remain unverified. No cheapest or safest platform is identified.
Evidence boundary
No invented rates. No implied guarantees.
- Matched executable quotes including entry, holding and exit costs
- Independent fill, stop-loss and withdrawal reliability
- Current permissions, recovery and revocation behaviour
- Individual eligibility and current regional restrictions
No numerical all-in cost is calculated. A valid comparison needs contemporaneous quotes for matching assets, product modes, notional sizes, directions and holding periods, with entry, holding and exit costs included.

How to use this research
Provider-reported describes the source of a statement, not an independent endorsement. Unknown and not measured identify evidence gaps. A documentation review does not confer an operational-status classification or establish user eligibility.
DN may receive compensation through commercial links elsewhere on the site. This comparison has no trading CTA or payout-based ranking. Documentation does not establish current operational status, safety or user eligibility.
