Recently, a major exchange wallet launched perpetual contract trading functionality, attracting a lot of attention. When opening the contract section on the web version, it is clear that the deeply integrated platform is Aster—this project's position within the BSC ecosystem is well-known, and this move will be a significant boost for Aster's own traffic inflow. Interestingly, users now have two ways to open contracts: trading directly on the exchange's main platform or using Aster's DEX within the wallet client to trade perpetual contracts. This ecosystem linkage indeed expands users' options and also provides more exposure for leading DEXs within the BSC ecosystem. For DeFi users, convenience has increased; for protocol parties, the traffic ceiling has been broken.

Hmm... Aster has indeed benefited from this wave of dividends, but could the two routes actually lead to fragmentation? Directly executing contracts in the wallet sounds appealing, but I'm worried about liquidity fragmentation. The BSC ecosystem is becoming more competitive. Is it really possible to break through the ceiling this way? By the way, is anyone paying attention to the risks of perpetual contracts, or are they all focused on traffic? The two trading paths seem more favorable to DEXs; centralized exchanges might not necessarily profit.

Dual-path opening contracts, now Aster has to fully understand and master it Wallet direct connection to DEX truly maximizes convenience, BSC has played this game well Breaking the traffic ceiling is real, but whether it can retain users is the key Aster is indeed riding the wave of opportunity, just see how to maintain user stickiness in the future Ecological linkage sounds great, but the key still depends on whether the trading depth is sufficient Both routes can be taken, which actually makes me confused, which one is more cost-effective? Wallet + DEX + Exchange, the ecological closed-loop is becoming more and more common

Damn, Aster is going to win by default this time --- Two routes are really enjoyable, but it still depends on whether the depth is sufficient --- Has the BSC ecosystem become this competitive? --- Breaking the traffic ceiling sounds great, but can it really convert? --- Opening contracts directly in the wallet is indeed convenient; no need to switch --- Is Aster about to take off? --- The collaboration mode is good, but I'm worried about liquidity fragmentation --- Now exchanges also have to compete with DEXs --- It feels like the competition in perpetual contracts is getting more intense --- Ecosystem integration is definitely the trend, but will users really use it?

Once again, it's the same ecosystem linkage rhetoric, sounding nice but can Aster really benefit from this wave of dividends? The integration of Aster with exchange wallets seems like a win-win, but who actually profits more depends on the subsequent data. This move indeed provides more options, but whether users will really open contracts in their wallets remains uncertain. The leading DEX in the BSC ecosystem is about to start another round of competition; although traffic has increased, whether profits can be guaranteed is a question. Contracts are inherently high risk, and now with more pathways, beginners are more easily exploited, which is a bit frustrating. Whether Aster can turn the tide this time depends on retention rates; traffic diversion does not equal user stickiness. It feels like exchanges are using the ecosystem as a guise to divert traffic to their wallets, and Aster is just a pawn.

Wow, Aster this time just straight-up won by default, with the exchange actively sending traffic. This ecosystem collaboration is really comfortable; having more choices is just great. The convenience of contracts has improved, but be careful of leverage traps. Open contracts on two platforms? Feels like it will split the traffic... This group of projects on BSC has really been competing intensely lately; collaboration is the way to survive. Breaking the traffic ceiling sounds good, but the key is whether it can be converted into real money. If this model works, other ecosystems will have to follow suit.
