DN Decision Briefs / Evidence comparison

MYX V2 vs Aster

Current documentation sharpens the comparison without producing an overall winner. MYX now exposes concrete rating/VIP fee tables and a 3,000 USD Profit Lock appeal bond; Aster now exposes headline Pro fees, Single-Asset collateral, Multi-Asset auto-exchange/interest terms and current TWAP limits.

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.

The conditions side by side.

Documentation comparison. No independent execution measurements. Source versions: MYX V2 1.1.0, Aster 1.1.0.
Decision factorMYX V2Aster
Margin settings

Trace related claims

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

Trace related claims

MYX V2 still classifies maker/taker by directional imbalance. Current A–H VIP 0 rates are 0.050% taker / 0.040% maker, declining with higher VIP tiers; lower-rated groups carry higher rates.

MYX V2 trading fees

Aster Pro currently advertises 0.01% maker and 0.035% taker trading fees. Those headline rates do not include funding, execution, collateral or account-specific costs.

Aster orderbook perpetuals
Execution limitations

Trace related claims

MYX V2 applies a liquidity-rating-based no-slippage capacity and curvature; price impact begins once one-sided exposure exceeds the documented capacity.

MYX V2 slippage and execution price

TWAP remains best effort, supports 1 minute to 7 days, can terminate on margin failure, supports Multi-Assets Mode, and does not guarantee price or completion.

Aster TWAP orders
Holding and borrowing costs

Trace related claims

Funding accrues per second and settles on position-changing interactions; holding cost depends on elapsed time and market imbalance.

MYX V2 funding

Multi-Asset Mode can auto-exchange collateral and currently charges 4% annualized interest on negative USDT/USD1 balances beyond the documented exemption.

Aster single-asset and multi-asset modes
When funds can move

Trace related claims

Profit Lock can keep realised profit non-withdrawable and non-portable across markets until the timer expires, subject to appeal extensions.

MYX V2 profit lock

Transfer capacity depends on margin requirements, open orders and unrealized PnL; moving margin out can increase liquidation risk.

Aster maximum transfers
Additional conditions

Trace related claims

LPs may challenge locked profit with a 3,000 USD bond; valid appeals extend the lock through review and can lead to release or clawback.

AFEE only offsets eligible trading fees; BonusUSD is separately documented as non-withdrawable futures collateral requiring Multi-Asset Mode.

Margin settings: the implication

  • Provider-reportedWhat changes between cross and isolated margin?

    Cross margin shares the full margin balance across open positions; isolated margin dedicates margin to one position. The guide still states that mode cannot be changed after submitting a position or placing an open order.

  • Provider-reportedDoes a limit order automatically receive maker pricing?

    V2 still defines maker/taker by whether a trade reduces or increases directional imbalance. Current documentation now publishes rating-group and VIP fee tables: for A–H markets, VIP 0 is 0.050% taker / 0.040% maker, declining to 0.025% / 0.020% at VIP 5; lower-rated groups carry progressively higher rates.

  • Provider-reportedIs the overview rate an all-in price?

    The current Aster Perpetuals overview advertises 0.01% maker and 0.035% taker fees for Pro mode. These are headline trading rates rather than an all-in order-and-holding cost.

  • Provider-reportedIs V2 execution universally free of slippage?

    The current execution guide uses a rule-based slippage model with market-specific no-slippage capacity A and curvature s, both derived from liquidity rating; price impact begins once one-sided exposure exceeds the documented capacity.

    TWAP remains best-effort: strategies can run from 1 minute to 7 days, terminate if a sub-order fails margin checks, support Multi-Assets Mode, and do not guarantee completion or price. Up to 30 TWAP strategies may run simultaneously per account.

  • Provider-reportedDoes an unchanged onchain tracker mean no holding cost?

    Funding accrues per second but the global tracker is updated when position-changing interactions occur. The crowded side pays the less crowded side, so holding cost depends on imbalance and elapsed time rather than every-block writes.

  • Provider-reportedCan multi-asset margin create additional costs?

    Single-Asset Mode currently lists USDT and USD1. Multi-Asset Mode is cross-margin only, can auto-exchange assets when balances or LTV conditions breach thresholds, and charges hourly interest on negative USDT/USD1 balances beyond a -1,000 USD exemption. The current annualized rate is documented as 4%.

    Maximum transfer formulas still depend on wallet balance, margin requirements, open orders and unrealized PnL, with different calculations for cross and isolated margin. The page explicitly notes that transferring out margin can raise liquidation risk.

  • Provider-reportedCan a profit lock last beyond its ordinary timer?

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.

Educational research only, not investment, legal or tax advice. Leveraged derivatives can cause substantial losses.
