Aster, a decentralized crypto exchange platform, today introduced Machi Mode, a new feature that rewards users with points for experiencing liquidation events on leveraged positions.
The gamified feature transforms trading losses into competitive opportunities by awarding liquidation points and creating leaderboards for users who get liquidated. Aster designed the mode to turn what are traditionally considered negative trading outcomes into rewarding experiences.
Machi Mode draws inspiration from Machi Big Brother, a prominent crypto trader known for frequent position liquidations on platforms like Hyperliquid. The trader’s activity pattern influenced Aster’s decision to gamify liquidation events.
