This trading feature, as a brand new protection mode, is dedicated to integrating a complete 1001x leverage trading experience into a faster, safer, and more flexible on-chain trading environment.
The high-performance, privacy-focused on-chain trading platform Aster, supported by YZi Labs, officially announced the launch of Shield Mode today. This trading feature serves as a new protection mode, directly integrated into Aster Perpetual, aiming to provide a complete 1001x leverage trading experience within a faster, safer, and more flexible on-chain trading environment.
Shield Mode is an important milestone in Aster's vision for the next generation of on-chain trading platforms. This mode is designed for advanced traders and offers solutions to the core challenges faced by exchanges in a fully transparent on-chain market.
Regarding the official launch of Shield Mode, Aster CEO Leonard stated:
"Shield Mode is our understanding and interpretation of the future of on-chain trading. The future of on-chain trading is not just about leverage and speed; it also emphasizes control, privacy, and protection mechanisms. We are building a platform that allows traders to perform at their highest level without being forced to disclose their trading strategies to the entire market."
Evolution of On-Chain Trading: From 1001x Leverage to Shield Mode
Aster's 1001x leverage product is known for breaking the boundaries of on-chain perpetual trading, offering up to 1001x leverage, zero slippage, zero opening fees, and complete on-chain settlement. As the on-chain trading infrastructure matures, traders are increasingly aware of the duality of fully transparent trading, especially the risks associated with exposing strategies and intentions in the on-chain market.
In mid-2025, Aster launched the Hidden Orders feature on its perpetual contract platform, allowing traders to hide order prices and quantities from the public order book while maintaining deep liquidity. This was an important step towards providing traders with greater operational privacy and freedom on-chain.
Building on this foundation, Shield Mode further upgrades the experience by combining high-performance leveraged trading with enhanced protection of trading intentions, creating a smoother and more controllable trading experience.
Shield Mode: A New Generation of Trading Mode on Aster
Shield Mode is a brand new trading mode built directly on Aster Perpetual, integrating the 1001x leverage trading experience into a single interface and account system. Under this mode, traders can more easily open and manage long or short positions without directly interacting with the public order book, while seamlessly accessing high-leverage trading without cross-chain switching, fragmented operations, or frequent on-chain signatures.
The advantages of Aster's 1001x trading model are continued in Shield Mode, including up to 1001x leverage for BTC and ETH, zero slippage, and zero opening fees. Shield Mode further eliminates closing fees, completely removes Gas costs, and accelerates trade execution.
These improvements collectively set a new benchmark for on-chain perpetual contract trading: a high-level on-chain trading experience that combines cost efficiency with extreme performance.
Flexible Fee Structure to Adapt to Diverse Trading Strategies
Shield Mode is designed to support a flexible fee model, allowing traders to choose their payment method based on their strategy preferences. In subsequent updates, traders will be able to choose between two modes:
- Commission Mode: Charges a fixed percentage based on trading volume, suitable for high-frequency stable trading.
- PnL Mode: Charges fees only on profitable trades, suitable for performance-oriented strategies.
To celebrate the launch of Shield Mode, all trades under this mode will be fee-free from now until the end of the year. This flexibility grants traders greater autonomy over cost control, allowing users with different risk preferences and trading behaviors to find a suitable fee structure.
Laying the Foundation for Aster's Next Phase of Development
Shield Mode embodies Aster's macro vision that goes beyond a single trading function. By introducing a protective trading mode for the on-chain market, Aster provides traders with greater decision-making autonomy and strategy protection capabilities.
At the same time, fully integrating the 1001x experience into Aster Perpetual lays the groundwork for unifying Aster's core products under a seamless system in the future, simplifying the path for traders to access high leverage and manage positions.
Combined with zero Gas costs and zero fees, this mode redefines the efficiency and performance standards of on-chain perpetual trading. This release marks Aster's evolution not only as a decentralized exchange but also as a platform specifically designed for the professional and high-performance trading needs of the next generation of on-chain finance.
