> **Visual Note:** The image is a promotional banner for Aster featuring a 3D-rendered bull-like creature with blue horns and lips, advertising "$10,000 $ASTER in Rewards Await" for trading 牛来 (BullComes) on perps, with rankings by volume and PnL, running from Aug 19, 14:00 UTC to Aug 23, 23:59 UTC. The accompanying caption playfully plays on the 牛 (bull) theme by suggesting the $3,000 movie ticket prize pool is "3,000 movie tickets," tying the "future is now" message to Aster's perpetual contract trading event.

> "How far is the future?

Today is the future of yesterday.
