what's Duston?
Duston is the official mascot for Aster DEX, a decentralized exchange built on the BNB Chain ecosystem. Represented as a character in NFT form, Duston serves as a branding element to engage the community around Aster's trading and liquidity features. The mascot is integrated into the project's promotional activities, including social media presence and token-related announcements. Associated with the $DUST token, Duston embodies the playful yet focused spirit of the Aster ecosystem. $DUST functions as the native utility token for Aster DEX, enabling governance, staking, and fee discounts within the platform. Through its X account, Duston shares updates on ecosystem developments, such as listings and partnerships, fostering community interaction in the broader BNB Chain DeFi space.
