How to convert NEAR Protocol to Aster

Converting NEAR to ASTER on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit NEAR from NEAR
Go to the Deposit tab and select NEAR Protocol (NEAR) on NEAR. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your NEAR there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on NEAR, your NEAR balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap NEAR to ASTER on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick NEAR as the source and ASTER as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw ASTER to BNB Chain
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select Aster (ASTER) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose BNB Chain as the destination. Enter an address from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the NEAR → ASTER swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your NEAR leaves NEAR and ASTER arrives on BNB Chain. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is ASTER on BNB Chain, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Both NEAR and ASTER float against the dollar, so the NEAR/ASTER rate moves with two markets at once. Traders use this pair to rotate between ecosystems in a single step instead of selling to a stablecoin first.

About NEAR Protocol and Aster

What is NEAR Protocol (NEAR)?

NEAR Protocol is a smart contract platform co-founded by Illia Polosukhin and Alexander Skidanov, with its mainnet going live in 2020. The network focuses on usability, offering human-readable account names such as alice.near instead of long hexadecimal addresses. It is also the chain behind NEAR Intents, the cross-chain swap system that NEAR Mobile Swap uses.

How NEAR Protocol works

Validators stake NEAR in a Proof of Stake system to produce blocks and confirm transactions. Nightshade sharding splits the network into parallel shards that process transactions side by side, which lets capacity grow as more shards are added.

What NEAR is used for

NEAR is spent on transaction fees and contract storage, and it is delegated to validators by holders who want staking rewards. Developers also use the chain for decentralized apps, AI agents and chain abstraction tools that operate across several blockchains.

NEAR supply

NEAR started with a genesis supply of one billion tokens and has no hard cap. New tokens are minted each epoch to reward validators, with the maximum annual inflation rate halved from 5% to 2.5% in October 2025, while 70% of transaction fees are burned.

Before you swap NEAR

When withdrawing to NEAR, you can send to a named account (like name.near) or to a 64-character implicit account, so check you have the correct one. Keep a little NEAR in your wallet to cover gas and storage for future transactions.

What is Aster (ASTER)?

Aster formed from the late-2024 merger of Astherus, a yield platform, and APX Finance, a perpetual DEX, with APX holders able to convert into ASTER. The token went live on BNB Chain in September 2025.

How Aster works

Aster lets traders open leveraged perpetual positions from their own wallets across several chains, with a simple one-click mode and a professional order-book mode that includes features such as hidden orders. It also offers yield-bearing collateral products inherited from Astherus.

What ASTER is used for

ASTER is used for governance, trading incentives and fee-related programs on the exchange, and holders can take part in its reward campaigns. It is also widely traded as a speculative DeFi asset.

ASTER supply

Maximum supply is 8 billion ASTER, with a large share reserved for community and ecosystem incentives released over time.

Before you swap ASTER

ASTER arrives as a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain, so keep some BNB for gas. This is Aster (aster-2 on CoinGecko), unrelated to Astar Network's ASTR or other 'Aster' tickers.
