aster stage 6: a claim-safety checklist and a tax log

claim-safety checklist

1. claim only on the official page, https://www.asterdex.com/en/airdrop. type it in or use a bookmark you made yourself; never follow a "claim" link from a dm, a reply, an email, an ad or a search result.
2. claim inside the window: 2026-11-04 12:00 UTC to 2026-12-04 12:00 UTC, for the vested 100% option only. aster's claim guide (read 2026-10-15) names no early access, late claim or bonus round: treat any such offer that does not come from the official page as a likely scam.
3. never sign an approval anywhere else. aster's claim guide (read 2026-10-15) says claiming needs no "approve" transaction: a site that asks you to approve a token, sign a permit, "set approval for all", or pay a fee to unlock your claim is most likely trying to drain your wallet.
4. never share your seed phrase or private key, with anyone or any site. no claim, support agent or "wallet validation" needs them.
5. check the address bar before you connect: the site must be www.asterdex.com, over https (see below).
6. read every wallet prompt before you confirm: which site is asking, and for what. if you cannot tell what a signature does, reject it.
7. log what you received once you have claimed: the tax log below keeps it in your browser and gives you a csv.

how to verify the domain and the contract

the domain

• the address bar must show www.asterdex.com over https, with nothing added before or after it: www.asterdex.com.claim-portal.xyz is someone else's site.
• watch for lookalikes: added words (asterdex-claim, aster-airdrop), other endings (.io, .app, .xyz), dropped or swapped letters (asterdx, astredex), and letters from other alphabets that look the same.
• cross-check any claim link against aster's own channels, listed on its official links page (on x: @Aster_DEX). a link in a reply under one of its posts is not one of them.

the contract

• aster's token overview (read 2026-10-15) lists the ASTER token (BEP-20) on BNB Chain at 0x000Ae314E2A2172a039B26378814C252734f556A. on BNB Chain, a token called ASTER at any other address is not the one it lists: do not trade it, approve it or follow links in its name.
• when your wallet asks you to confirm something, check that the request comes from www.asterdex.com, and refuse it if it is an approve, increaseAllowance, setApprovalForAll, permit or permit2 signature, or a raw hex message you cannot read.

common scam patterns

• lookalike claim sites, pushed through search ads, replies under aster's posts, and telegram or discord messages.
• "eligibility checkers" on other sites that want you to connect and sign: aster's claim guide (read 2026-10-15) has eligibility checked on the official page.
• "support" that messages you first, or asks for your seed phrase, a screen share or a "wallet sync".
• a fee to unlock your airdrop: "gas", "tax" or "activation" sent to an address.
• fake tokens and nfts dropped into your wallet with a claim link in their name. do not trade them, approve them or visit the link.
• address poisoning: a tiny transfer from an address that looks like one you use, so that you copy it from your history later. copy addresses from their source.
• false deadlines ("claim closes in 1 hour"). the window on record closes 2026-12-04 12:00 UTC.
• fake apps, browser extensions and "claim bots" that want your keys or a signature.

stage 6 eligibility, per wallet

farmhealth does not look up stage 6 eligibility or allocations: aster documents no public way to look a wallet up without connecting it (we checked its api and developer docs on 2026-10-15). farmhealth looks up no wallet on aster's site, and guesses nothing; a daily check reads aster's public airdrop page for the claim's status.

to check a wallet, open https://www.asterdex.com/en/airdrop and connect that wallet there.

tax log

in the US, the IRS generally treats airdropped tokens as ordinary income, at their fair market value in USD when you receive them: once you can transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of them (Rev. Rul. 2019-24). that value is also your cost basis when you later sell or swap them. if your tokens unlock over time, each unlock may count as a receipt of its own: log each one as a row. other countries have their own rules.

the log records what you enter; it is no estimate of tax owed: a receipt's value, a sale's proceeds and a vesting's treatment can each differ from it. informational only, not tax advice: ask a tax professional how this applies to you.

the log runs in your browser only. farmhealth looks nothing up (no prices) and stores nothing, and what you type here is never sent anywhere: rows are gone when you close the page, so download the csv. for the price, enter the USD value of one ASTER when you received it, from a source you can show later, and name that source in the note. leave it blank and total_usd stays blank.

download csv clear the log

the csv's columns: date_utc, token, amount, fmv_usd_per_token, total_usd, source_note. date_utc is ISO 8601 in UTC; total_usd is the amount times the price, rounded to the cent.
