Aster Shield Mode Launches: A New Era of On-Chain Transactions Starting from the Zero Point

As on-chain trading has developed to today, leverage and speed are no longer lacking. What is missing? Privacy, protection of strategies, and a trading model that truly serves high-frequency traders. The recently launched Shield Mode by Aster is precisely to fill this gap.

This brand-new trading protection mode is officially integrated into Aster Perpetual, providing on-chain traders with a complete solution starting from punkt zerowego. Supporting up to 1001x leverage on BTC and ETH, zero slippage, zero opening fees, and now even eliminating closing fees and Gas costs—this is the new standard for high-performance on-chain trading.

The Real Pain Points for Traders: Why Do You Need Shield Mode

In previous on-chain trading, there was an unavoidable issue: your orders, your intentions, the entire market could see them. For experts, this is equivalent to making their strategies public, making them easy targets for sniping.

Aster’s Hidden Orders feature, launched in mid-2025, has already taken a step forward—hiding prices and quantities in the public order book to protect traders’ privacy. But Shield Mode goes even further; it’s not just about hiding orders but creating a completely different trading environment.

Core Advantages of Shield Mode: High Leverage + True Privacy

In Shield Mode, traders can directly open and manage long or short positions without interacting directly with the public order book. Simply put: your trades are no longer exposed, yet you still enjoy all the advantages of high-leverage trading.

In terms of hardware parameters, Shield Mode retains all the benefits of the Aster 1001x mode:

• Up to 1001x leverage on BTC and ETH
• Zero slippage execution
• Zero opening fees
• Zero Gas costs
• Fast settlement (no cross-chain operations, no complex interactions, no frequent on-chain signatures)

In other words, this is the most efficient and cheapest on-chain perpetual contract trading experience to date. From now until the end of the year, all Shield Mode trades are completely free.

Fee Structure: Flexible to Fit Different Strategies

In upcoming updates, Aster will introduce two fee modes, allowing traders to choose:

Commission Mode
A fixed percentage fee based on trading volume, suitable for high-frequency and stable strategies

PnL Mode
Fees only on profitable trades, ideal for result-oriented traders

This flexibility means whether you are a day trader or a trend follower, you can find the most suitable cost structure.

Deeper Significance: Aster’s punkt zerowego

Shield Mode is not just a feature update; it represents Aster’s understanding of the next generation of on-chain trading.

CEO Leonard stated that future on-chain trading will no longer solely pursue leverage and speed but will strengthen control, privacy, and protection mechanisms. Shield Mode is the implementation of this philosophy: enabling traders to execute their strategies with maximum efficiency and peace of mind, without worrying about market exposure.

This is also an important step in Aster’s unification of its core products. By integrating 1001x leverage trading experience into a single interface and account system, Aster is laying the foundation for the upcoming Aster Chain—where multiple trading functions will seamlessly collaborate.

Coupled with zero Gas costs and zero fees, Shield Mode redefines the efficiency and cost standards of on-chain perpetual contracts.
