A comparison of perpetual DEX token launches over the past year shows ASTER allocating the largest share of its total supply to community rewards and airdrops — 67.8%, with more than two-thirds of all tokens reserved for distribution to users rather than insiders or investors.
Behind ASTER, BASED came in at 59.6% and ROLL at 54.0%, forming a top tier of projects that directed the majority of supply outward. DIME (46.6%), EDGE (35.0%), and LIT (25.0%) round out the rankings, with LIT allocating roughly a quarter of supply to community channels.
The spread is wide — from 67.8% down to 25.0% — and reflects meaningfully different philosophies on how perp DEX projects balance community bootstrapping against team, treasury, and investor allocations.
