The high-performance, privacy-focused on-chain trading platform Aster, supported by YZi Labs, officially announced the launch of Shield Mode today. This is a new protected trading mode directly integrated into Aster Perpetual, providing on-chain traders with a faster, safer, and more flexible trading experience while maintaining a maximum leverage trading capability of 1001x.

The launch of Shield Mode marks a key milestone for Aster in building the next generation of on-chain trading platforms. This mode is designed for professional and advanced traders, aiming to address the core pain point of trading strategies and intentions being easily exposed in a fully transparent on-chain market environment.

Aster CEO Leonard stated, “Shield Mode embodies our judgment on the future of on-chain trading—it’s not just about leverage and speed, but about control, trading restraint, and strategy protection. We aim to create a trading platform that allows traders to perform at their highest level without being forced to disclose their strategies to the market.”

The Evolution of On-Chain Trading: From 1001x to Shield Mode

Aster's 1001x product has long been in the spotlight for continuously pushing the boundaries of on-chain perpetual trading performance, featuring core characteristics such as a maximum leverage of 1001x, zero slippage, zero opening fees, and complete on-chain settlement.

As on-chain trading infrastructure matures, traders are increasingly aware of the trade-off costs brought by fully transparent on-chain trading—especially the risks of trading strategies and intentions being captured, analyzed, and targeted by the market in real-time.

In mid-2025, Aster was the first to introduce the Hidden Orders feature on Aster Perpetual, allowing traders to participate in trading without disclosing order prices and quantities while still accessing deep liquidity. This feature is seen as an important step for Aster in the direction of “on-chain trading privacy.”

Building on this, Shield Mode further upgrades to a more complete and systematic protected trading mode, deeply integrating high leverage performance, trading intention protection, and a smoother, more controllable trading experience.

Shield Mode: A New Trading Mode on Aster

Shield Mode is a new trading mode built directly on Aster Perpetual, integrating the complete 1001x trading experience into a unified trading interface and account system.

Under Shield Mode, traders no longer need to interact directly with the public order book to open and manage long and short positions. At the same time, this mode avoids cross-chain switching, fragmented operational processes, and frequent on-chain signature confirmations, making the high-leverage trading process more coherent and efficient.

The core features of the Aster 1001x trading model remain fully intact, including:

• Up to 1001x leverage for BTC and ETH
• Zero slippage
• Zero opening fees

In addition, Shield Mode further enhances overall trading efficiency:

• No closing fees
• Complete exemption from Gas costs
• Faster trade execution speed

With multiple optimizations combined, Shield Mode will set a new industry benchmark for high-performance, low-cost on-chain perpetual trading.

Flexible Fee Structure to Adapt to Different Trading Styles

From the outset, Shield Mode supports a flexible fee model, allowing traders to choose a payment method that best suits their strategies and preferences.

In subsequent versions, traders will be able to choose between the following two modes:

• Commission Mode: A fixed percentage transparent fee structure, suitable for high-frequency or large-volume traders.
• PnL Mode: Fees are only charged when trades are profitable, more aligned with strategy-oriented traders pursuing risk-reward ratios.

To celebrate the official launch of Shield Mode, all fees related to Shield Mode will be waived until the end of this year.

This upcoming fee flexibility aims to empower traders with greater cost control, allowing different trading styles to operate under a fee structure that better matches their risk preferences.

Laying the Foundation for Aster's Next Development Phase

Shield Mode is not just an independent feature but an important part of Aster's long-term product vision. By introducing a protected trading mode in the on-chain market, Aster provides traders with a higher level of strategic autonomy and privacy protection.

At the same time, Shield Mode fully integrates 1001x trading into Aster Perpetual, laying the groundwork for the unification and integration of Aster's core trading products, significantly simplifying high-leverage trading and position management processes.

With Gas-free trading and zero fees, Shield Mode will redefine the limits of efficiency and performance in on-chain perpetual trading. With this release, Aster's positioning has evolved from a decentralized exchange to a trading platform designed for the next phase of the on-chain financial system, specifically for professional and high-performance traders.
