# Spot Market Maker program

**Overview**

The Aster Spot Market Maker Program is established to ensure deep and stable liquidity across all spot trading pairs on Aster DEX. It aims to attract professional market participants who can maintain tight spreads and consistent two-sided markets. The program focuses on fee-based incentives — market makers can qualify for rebate tiers based on performance metrics.\
