Гаманець для Aster USDF

What is Aster USDF (USDF)?

USDF is the dollar-pegged token of Aster, the perpetual trading protocol that started out under the name Astherus. The token is minted against USDT one to one: a user deposits USDT, receives the same amount of USDF, and can redeem USDF back for USDT, with a fee and a processing delay on redemption. Behind it, the protocol puts the deposited USDT into hedged (delta neutral) positions rather than leaving it idle, which sets USDF apart from a plain custodial stablecoin.

What matters for a holder is that USDF itself is a plain BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain with a fixed balance. It does not rebase and does not grow on its own. The part of the system that does change value is a separate token, asUSDF, which you only get by staking USDF inside the protocol; unstaking turns it back into USDF. If you hold USDF in a wallet and never stake, your balance stays exactly what you put in. Every transfer is paid in BNB, so a small amount of BNB has to sit next to the token.

The ticker has a twin

There is another token that spells almost the same: Falcon Finance's USDf, which started on Ethereum and belongs to an unrelated protocol. Aster's USDF is the BNB Smart Chain one, but Falcon's token has also been deployed on BNB Smart Chain, so the network line alone does not separate them. In Tangem, Aster USDF appears under BNB Smart Chain, and before any transfer the app shows the network and the address on the send screen for you to check before the card signs. Supported networks in Tangem (1): BNB Smart Chain. For a token whose main hazard is a name collision rather than anything on-chain, that check before signing is the reason Tangem is a comfortable home for it.

Older material may still call the issuer Astherus; the token did not migrate, the contract stayed the same, only the brand changed to Aster.
