George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 28th, 2026, Chainwire

Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the launch of its Liquidity Pool Mining campaign, a four-week incentive campaign featuring a total reward pool of up to 140,000 $ASTER and running from September 28 to October 25, 2026 (UTC). To celebrate the launch of Perpetual Grid 2.0, the program is open to all Aster users running Perpetual Grid strategies on eligible trading pairs.

Rewards will be distributed hourly based on each eligible Grid’s share of trading volume. The base reward pool is set at 10,000 $ASTER per epoch, with additional rewards available based on market conditions and trading activity on the platform. Participation is automatic, with no registration required.

“As Aster continues to bring more emerging assets and opportunities onchain, we’re also focused on building the tools traders need to navigate increasingly dynamic markets. Perpetual Grid offers a flexible way to capture opportunities amid market volatility, and Grid 2.0 takes this experience further with greater flexibility and independence. This upgrade is another step toward our broader vision of building the frontier of onchain trading,” said Leonard, CEO at Aster.

Incentivizing Automated Perpetual Trading

The campaign builds on Aster’s expanded Perpetual Grid infrastructure, giving users a new way to participate in automated trading while earning additional $ASTER rewards from eligible Grid activity. Both Maker and Taker volume count toward the campaign, while manual trading and activity outside the Grid strategy are excluded.

An Estimated Bonus APY is also displayed to provide an indication of potential annualized $ASTER rewards based on recent campaign activity. The estimate can change as trading volume, participating Grids and other campaign conditions change, and does not guarantee future rewards or returns.

Grid 2.0 Separates Automated and Manual Strategies

Alongside the campaign, the newly upgraded Perpetual Grid 2.0 enables Grid strategies to operate independently from users’ regular Perpetual trading. Each Grid runs through a dedicated Grid Bot subaccount, keeping its positions and margin separate from the main Perpetual account.

With support for both Cross and Isolated Margin, users can run automated Grid strategies while continuing to trade Perpetuals manually, including on the same trading pair. Isolated Margin supports up to 50 independent Grid strategies per account, with no per-pair limit.

Discover Strategies Through Grid Marketplace

Aster’s Grid Marketplace further simplifies strategy discovery by allowing users to browse active Grid strategies and review metrics such as PnL, ROI, runtime, price range, leverage and trading activity.

Users can use an existing strategy as a starting point through Copy, or switch its direction through Reverse, turning a Long strategy into Short or vice versa. Copied or reversed strategies remain independent from their source and do not automatically synchronize with the original Grid.

The Liquidity Pool Mining campaign is available on designated eligible trading pairs, with the Week 1 eligible pairs including OURA/USD1, POLYMARKET/USD1, and META/USD1. The reward pool is shared across participating pairs. Individual rewards are determined by each Grid’s eligible trading volume relative to the total eligible volume generated during the relevant hourly period.

More eligible trading pairs may be added in subsequent weeks to reflect the latest market trends. For more information about the campaign, eligible trading pairs and current campaign parameters, please visit the official campaign page.

RL Remodeling, a family-run Los Angeles design-build contractor founded in 2006, is expanding across Southern California on the strength of community referrals and repeat clients. One of the early pioneers of ADUs in LA, the company credits its growth to a diverse, long-tenured team that is trained in-house with monthly follow-up sessions, hands-on owner involvement in every project, and an office culture where everyone knows each client by name. From its Los Angeles roots, RL Remodeling now serves the greater LA area, Orange County and San Diego.

Los Angeles, California, United States, 28th Sep 2026 – RL Remodeling, a Los Angeles design-build contractor founded in 2006, is expanding its service footprint across Southern California in response to sustained demand from homeowners in the greater Los Angeles area, Orange County and San Diego. The company, which was among the first contractors in Los Angeles to focus on accessory dwelling units, says its growth has been driven almost entirely by referrals from the communities where it started.

“We never set out to be the biggest remodeling company in LA,” said the owner of RL Remodeling. “We set out to be the one people recommend to their neighbors. Everything else followed from that.”

A Family Model in an Industry Known for Turnover

Construction is a field where crews change from one project to the next. RL Remodeling has taken the opposite approach. The company describes itself as family-based, and it means that literally in how it runs the business. Team members stay for years, often growing from entry-level roles into senior positions, and the company invests in that growth directly.

Rather than relying only on outside certifications, RL Remodeling trains its own people. New hires are taught the company’s methods in person, and every team member takes part in follow-up training sessions each month to stay current with building codes, materials and design trends. That consistency shows up on job sites, where clients work with people who know the company’s standards because they helped shape them.

“When you keep the same people for years, quality stops being something you have to check for. It becomes the default,” the owner said.

The team is also notably diverse, made up of people from a range of nationalities and backgrounds. The office marks each culture’s holidays throughout the year, something the company sees as part of its identity rather than a side benefit.

Everyone in the Office Knows Every Client

One of the more unusual features of RL Remodeling’s operation is that every person in the office is involved in every project. There is no hand-off between a salesperson, a project manager and a crew who never meet. Clients are known by name across the company, and questions get answered by people who are already familiar with the job.

The ownership stays hands-on as well. Owners are personally involved in each project, from the first site visit through final walkthrough, and the company points to that personal touch as the reason many clients return for a second, third or fourth project over the years. A significant share of its work today comes from repeat customers and their referrals.

Celebrating the Work as a Team

Regular office meetings at RL Remodeling double as showcases. The full team gathers to review before-and-after results from recently completed projects, giving crews, designers and office staff a shared view of what they have built together. The company says these sessions do more for morale and standards than any formal review process could.

“Our people love seeing a garage turn into a finished ADU, or a tired kitchen turn into the center of a home,” the owner said. “Showing that to the whole team reminds everyone why the details matter.”

An Early Voice on ADUs in Los Angeles

RL Remodeling was building accessory dwelling units in Los Angeles before they became a mainstream housing solution. As California loosened regulations and demand for backyard homes, garage conversions and rental units grew, the company was already experienced in the permitting, structural and design challenges these projects involve.

Today ADUs remain a core part of the company’s work alongside kitchen and bathroom remodeling, room additions, whole-home renovations and new construction. Its early start has given RL Remodeling a depth of ADU experience that newer entrants to the market have not had time to develop.

Growth Driven by Demand, Not Marketing

The company’s expansion into new locations has followed a simple pattern: clients in one neighborhood recommend RL Remodeling to friends and family in the next, and the company adds coverage as the requests accumulate. From its roots in Los Angeles, it now serves communities across the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, Orange County and San Diego.

RL Remodeling says it intends to keep growing the same way, adding team members who fit its culture and locations where its clients ask for it, without changing the personal approach that built its reputation.

About RL Remodeling

Founded in 2006, RL Remodeling is a licensed design-build contractor serving the greater Los Angeles area, Orange County and San Diego. The company specializes in accessory dwelling units, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, home additions, whole-home renovations and new construction. Known for its family-based team, in-house training and hands-on ownership, RL Remodeling has built a client base that returns and refers year after year. Learn more at rl-remodeling.com.
