ChangeNOW and Aster announce new blockchain infrastructure and trading initiatives

ChangeNOW has selected Qastle Wallet, a quantum-secured multi-chain wallet developed by Krown Technologies, as a participant in its Fast Track Program. The integration will provide Qastle users with access to ChangeNOW’s infrastructure, including integrated swaps and fiat on- and off-ramping capabilities. The Qastle Wallet utilizes Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Quantum eMotion’s QRNG2 technology to provide security against classical and quantum attacks.

Separately, the on-chain trading platform Aster has launched the USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 in collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The campaign, running from August 31 to December 31, 2026, offers 125 million $WLFI and 6.25 million USD1 in rewards. The initiative utilizes Aster’s AOS-2 framework, which allows for the standardized listing of perpetual markets. The campaign includes various pairs such as XAU/USD1 and SKHYNIX/USD1, with rewards distributed based on trading volume and open interest.
