# Is Aster safe to connect to an AI agent?

**Can trade unattended.** [Safety 58%](https://tradingagentstack.com/safety-score/) Can trade unattended. Built from our sourced listing, last checked 2026-10-30. Not financial advice.

## What an AI agent can do

- **Live vs paper:** live; testnet app and API with a daily faucet [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

- **Order approval:** Official GitHub org has an MCP server and agent skills (its docs don't mention them). Agent wallets with separate perp, spot and withdraw permissions, a required expiry and an IP whitelist when withdraw is on; its terms ban bots without express permission [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

- **Markets:** crypto perpetuals, crypto spot

- **Pricing:** no API fee; 0% maker / 0.04% taker on general crypto perps

## Safeguards that exist

- **Order approval or confirmation options:** No per-order approval; market-maker protection and a countdown cancel-all (dead-man's switch) (official docs) [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

- **Paper, demo or testnet mode:** Testnet app, API and daily faucet (official docs) [source](https://docs.asterdex.com/aster-chain/testnet)

- **Withdrawal permission needed or allowed:** Agent wallets have a separate withdraw permission; with it off they can only move funds between the owner's sub-accounts (official docs) [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

- **Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting:** Agent wallets with separate perp, spot and withdraw flags, a required expiry, and an IP whitelist when withdraw is on (official docs) [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

## Safeguards that are missing

- **Can it place live orders unattended?:** API orders execute with no per-order approval step [source](https://github.com/asterdex/api-docs/blob/master/V3(Recommended)/EN/aster-finance-futures-api-v3.md)

- **Open source or audited:** The 7 published audits cover vault, earn and stablecoin products, not the perp engine, chain or bridges (official docs) [source](https://docs.asterdex.com/overview/audit-reports)
