Regarding the relationship between Genius and Aster, it can be explained in one sentence: Genius is just a trading terminal that connects to perp DEXs to help users perform cross-chain liquidity mining. Aster itself is an on-chain perpetual DEX platform. Their positioning does not conflict at all; in fact, they may complement each other and even have the potential to bring trading volume to Aster.

The market was previously a bit panicked due to concerns that the two projects might compete, but this clarification should alleviate many doubts. As for Giggle Academy, that is CZ's educational project, mainly aimed at children's education, which is a completely different track.

From an ecosystem perspective, this kind of collaboration approach is actually healthier — each focusing on their own field, achieving a 1+1>2 effect through interoperability. $ASTER and $GIGGLE, as two important products within the ecosystem, each playing their role, is indeed a better development path.

ASTER-0,85%

GIGGLE-0,8%

Oh wow, someone finally clarified this matter. I was confused before. Genius is just a skin; Aster is the real engine. Thinking this way is correct. Complement each other without fighting; only then can the ecosystem thrive.

Oh wow, I finally figured it out. The previous wave of panic selling was really for nothing. To be honest, Genius is just a UI layer, while Aster is the real DEX engine. This division of labor is actually more enjoyable. Isn't cross-traffic sharing more appealing? I like this approach of ecosystem collaboration; it's a hundred times better than fighting each other. I'm optimistic about this idea.

Oh, finally clarified. I thought there was going to be competition when I saw the community arguing so loudly before. Genius is just a frontend, Aster is the real chain. Complementary, not competing—that's the right way to play. Everyone who was panicking earlier can now breathe a sigh of relief. The ecosystem's division of labor is indeed more appealing.

It should have been clarified a long time ago; that wave of panic selling was really funny. --- Complementary, not competitive—that's the logic I agree with. --- Basically, everyone does their own thing, a win-win cooperation approach. --- Finally someone explained this clearly, so I don't get asked about it every day. --- Healthy ecological development requires this kind of division of labor; otherwise, why all the competition? --- So that's how it is. The previous anxiety was indeed unnecessary. --- Genius is just an interface; Aster is the core. Got it. --- The market should stabilize now, no more mindless dumping. --- Collaboration is much more attractive than internal competition. I'm optimistic about this direction.

Worrying about competition was really unnecessary; a complementary ecosystem is the way out.
