Aster Airdrop Volume Farming Strategy

Who is this for?

This workflow is for airdrop hunters, liquidity programs, and quant teams that need to manufacture consistent trading volume on Aster without manually clicking in the interface. It suits users who already have a thesis that future airdrop snapshots will reward maker volume or fee generation and want an automated helper that can run continuously.

What problem is this workflow solving? / Use case

Generating the “just right” amount of wash volume is tedious: you have to monitor market conditions, pick a side, place a maker order, and immediately offset it to flatten exposure. Doing this 24/7 drains time and increases the risk of fat-finger mistakes. This workflow automates that loop:

• It keeps trades aligned with market structure (trend-following when the trend is strong, mean-reversion when it is weak) so fills stay efficient.
• It instantly flattens exposure by submitting the opposite maker order right after an entry fills, keeping net delta close to zero while still logging volume.
• It can run unattended, letting you focus on managing wallets, limits, and reward tracking rather than micromanaging orders.

What this workflow does

1. Fetches OHLCV data for the configured symbol from Aster and removes the latest unfinished candle to avoid repaint noise.
2. Calculates a suite of indicators:
   • ADX (via callTAIndicator) to measure trend strength.
   • ATR for volatility context that feeds Supertrend and Bollinger Bands.
   • Bollinger Bands and Supertrend for price positioning.
3. Pulls the current ticker price to compare against indicator signals.
4. Uses ADX >= 25 as the “strong trend” gate:
   • Strong trend → follow Supertrend direction.
   • Weak trend → compare price vs. Bollinger middle band for a fade-style entry.
5. Chooses BUY/SELL and places a maker order (placeMakerBBO) at the best bid/ask using the configured size.
6. As soon as the first order reports its filled size, submits the opposite-side maker order for the exact fill amount. This closes the position but doubles the reported volume, which is ideal for airdrop farming.

Setup

1. Symbol – Set the base asset in the config node (default btc). Use the format supported by Aster (e.g., btc or eth).
2. Amount – Define the per-trade size as a string (default 0.001). Keep this within your risk and airdrop farming tolerance.
3. Proxy (optional) – Provide a SOCKS proxy if you route traffic through a datacenter or residential endpoint.
4. Aster credentials – Select the managed aster credential so the workflow can access aster_accountAddress, aster_signerAddress, and aster_signerKey.
5. Deploy or schedule the workflow (cloud scheduling is handled outside the JSON per the workflow rules).

Nodes in Use

• Aster - Get ticker: Fetches the current ticker price for a perpetual symbol using symbol and optional proxy.

• Aster - Kline data: Returns OHLCV candles for a symbol and interval with optional time range, limit, and proxy.

• Aster - Maker BBO bot: Places a post-only limit order at the current best bid/ask (GTX) and maintains top-of-book by cancelling and re-placing until filled.

• Technical Indicators - Calculate Supertrend: Calculates Supertrend using ATR bands with period, multiplier, and optional ATR method.

• Technical Indicators - Calculate Bollinger Bands: Calculates Bollinger Bands for volatility and trend analysis using period, values, and stdDev.

• Technical Indicators - Calculate ATR: Calculates Average True Range (ATR) for volatility analysis using high, low, close, and period.

• Technical Indicators - Call Technical Indicator: Generic function to call any technical indicator by name with parameters (used for ADX calculation).
