Aster, a next-generation decentralized perpetual contract exchange exclusively invested by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), officially announced today the launch of an important upgrade feature on its professional trading platform Aster Pro: Hidden Orders.

This feature allows users to submit orders invisibly while trading perpetual contracts, avoiding the exposure of any trading intentions. With this, Aster becomes the first decentralized exchange (DEX) to natively support hidden orders, once again leading the industry in the field of DeFi innovation.

In Aster Pro, users who choose hidden orders will have their limit orders not displayed on the public order book, with no price, quantity, or order information visible. Instead, they will go directly into the main matching engine and will only be revealed after a transaction is completed.

“In high-speed, high-stakes contract trading, being seen often means a disadvantage,” said Aster CEO Leonard. “Hidden orders allow traders to achieve true anonymity while ensuring privacy, fairness, and liquidity.”

Why Do Decentralized Perpetual Trades Need Hidden Orders?

In cryptocurrency trading, the ability to execute large trades without disturbing the market often determines whether a trader is a novice or a professional. Institutions and advanced traders generally rely on advanced execution strategies such as Dark Pools and Hidden Orders to conceal intentions and reduce slippage.

Recently, discussions among industry leaders have also focused on a core contradiction in DEX infrastructure: while transparency builds trust, it also exposes large traders to various "hunting" tactics on a real-time visible order book. This highlights an increasingly apparent need: the decentralized perpetual market urgently requires a solution that balances privacy and market integrity, preventing front-running and trade exploitation without undermining market fairness.

In fact, high-frequency or large traders in centralized exchanges have long relied on dark pools or iceberg orders to hide their intentions, but both have their drawbacks:

• Dark Pools: Completely invisible and do not affect the main market, but due to the use of independent order books, they lead to fragmented liquidity and typically lower execution rates.
• Iceberg Orders: Seemingly anonymous and can utilize main market liquidity, but still expose part of the order quantity each time, making trading intentions easy to spy on.

Hidden Orders were created to solve this series of problems with a unified solution:

• 🔒 Complete Privacy: Orders remain completely invisible before execution, without disclosing key prices or intentions.
• 🕶 Concealed Execution: Reduces slippage in highly volatile markets, preventing front-running.
• 🔄 Integrated Liquidity: Directly integrated with the main matching engine, maintaining tight spreads without fragmenting liquidity.
• ⚡ Fast Execution: Executes faster than iceberg orders, with no "residual" traces.

Born for Privacy, Designed for Advantage

The hidden order feature launched by Aster Pro is a native support implemented on the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform. This is not just a product upgrade but a declaration of attitude: Aster leads the market with product innovation and shapes industry standards through practical actions.

Through hidden orders, traders can:

• Defend key prices without being noticed.
• Quietly build or close large positions, avoiding front-running and hedging.
• Execute trades completely anonymously while enjoying Aster's highly aggregated order book liquidity.

In a market environment where "whoever exposes first suffers first," Aster helps traders take control of their pace and destiny.

Reshaping the New Standard for On-Chain Perpetual Trading

This launch further solidifies Aster's position as a leading perp DEX in the industry: not only is its trading volume among the top globally, but it also continuously breaks through innovations in product experience, execution quality, and user-oriented design.

From launching a convenient registration experience with email login, to introducing privacy-protecting ZK Layer1 — Aster Chain Beta, and now to hidden orders, Aster continues to prioritize users and push the limits of DeFi.

While other platforms are busy imitating centralized tools, Aster focuses more on how to establish real protection mechanisms for users:

• Privacy: Achieving deep privacy protection through zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology.
• Fairness: Ensuring a fair trading environment through anti-MEV architecture.
• Control: Gaining initiative through professional tools like hidden orders and native order books.

We are not just building products; we are reshaping the possibilities of on-chain trading — fast, fair, private, and powerful.
