# 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.\
\
**Objectives**

* Provide tight bid-ask spreads and deep liquidity across key pairs.
* Promote continuous quoting from qualified market makers.
* Maintain efficient price discovery and minimize volatility gaps.
* Build a transparent and stable liquidity environment suitable for institutional traders.

For market maker rebates, the trading interface will display your applicable Taker fee rate (determined by your volume tier or marker volume percentage) and a Maker fee of "0". Please note that our system calculates and disburses Maker rebates every hour based on the published fee schedule. These rebates can be tracked in the transaction history under Aster Spot.
