Aster Launches Shield Mode for On-Chain Traders
Aster, the on-chain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, has unveiled Shield Mode—a protected trading feature integrated into Aster Perpetual. The innovation enables high-leverage trading (up to 1001x) while addressing transparency risks inherent in on-chain markets.
CEO Leonard emphasized Shield Mode’s focus on discretion: "We’re building a platform where traders can execute strategies without broadcasting them to the market." The product suite includes zero slippage, no opening fees, and fully on-chain settlement.
The launch follows Aster’s mid-2025 introduction of Hidden Orders, which allowed traders to conceal order details from public view. Shield Mode marks another step in Aster’s mission to balance performance with privacy for advanced traders.
