Aster Introduces Shield Mode: A Protected High-Performance Transaction Mode for On-Chain Traders

On December 15, 2025, Aster, a high-performance, privacy-focused on-chain trading platform supported by YZi Labs, today announced the official launch of Shield Mode. This new protected transaction mode has been directly integrated into Aster Perpetual, unleashing a high leverage trading experience of up to 1001x in a faster, more secure, and more flexible on-chain environment.
Shield Mode is a significant milestone in Aster's creation of the next-generation on-chain trading platform, aiming to serve professional and advanced traders while addressing the challenges of a fully transparent on-chain market.
Aster CEO Leonard stated: "Shield Mode embodies our vision of the future of on-chain trading—it is not just about leverage or speed, but also about control, privacy, and protection. We are building a trading platform that allows traders to operate at the highest level without disclosing their strategies to the market."
Evolution of On-Chain Trading: From 1001x to Shield Mode
Aster's 1001x product is renowned for continuously pushing the boundaries of on-chain perpetual trading, offering up to 1001x leverage, zero slippage, zero funding fees, and full on-chain settlement. As on-chain trading infrastructure has matured, traders have become increasingly aware of the cost of being "fully transparent"—especially the risk of exposing trading strategies and intents to the market.
In mid-2025, Aster introduced Hidden Orders in Aster Perpetual, allowing traders to participate in trading without disclosing prices and quantities while maintaining access to deep liquidity. This step brought greater privacy and strategy protection to on-chain trading.
Building on this foundation, Shield Mode has further evolved into a more comprehensive protected trading mode, combining high leverage performance with stronger trade intent protection, a smoother, more controlled trading experience.
Shield Mode: Aster's New Transaction Mode
Shield Mode is a brand-new transaction mode built directly on Aster Perpetual, integrating the full 1001x trading experience into a unified interface and account system.
This mode significantly simplifies the opening and management process of long and short positions by eliminating the need to interact with a public order book. Additionally, traders can seamlessly engage in high-leverage trading without cross-chain switches, avoiding fragmented operations and the need for frequent on-chain signatures.
The core advantages of the Aster 1001x trading model remain, including up to 1001x leverage for BTC and ETH, zero slippage, and zero opening fees. Furthermore, Shield Mode enhances efficiency by eliminating liquidation fees, completely waiving Gas costs, and achieving faster transaction execution. These improvements collectively set a new benchmark for on-chain perpetual trading in terms of cost efficiency and performance.
Flexible Fees to Match Different Trading Styles
Shield Mode adopts a flexible fee design, allowing traders to choose their payment method based on their own strategies and preferences.
In future updates, traders will be able to switch between two modes:
Commission Mode: Charges a transparent, fixed-rate transaction fee per trade, suitable for high-frequency and stable trading;
PnL Mode: Charges fees only when profitable, aligning better with performance-oriented trading strategies.
To celebrate the launch of Shield Mode, all fees for Shield Mode will be waived for the year. This upcoming flexible mechanism aims to empower traders to better control trading costs, allowing different trading styles to operate under a fee structure that better matches their risk profile and behavioral traits.
Laying the Foundation for the Next Stage of Aster
Shield Mode is not just a single feature upgrade but part of a grander vision for Aster. By introducing a protected transaction mode to the on-chain market, Aster provides traders with greater privacy and stronger strategy protection.
