Aster Launches Shield Mode for Private, Zero‑Slippage Perp Trading With Fees Waived Through Year‑End

The protected mode hides orders to curb MEV front‑running.

Overview

  • Live since Dec. 15 inside Aster Perpetual, the mode offers instant off‑book execution with a one‑tap long or short interface and isolated margin.
  • Support at launch covers BTC and ETH perpetual pairs up to 1,001x leverage with zero slippage on supported pairs and no gas costs during the rollout.
  • All trading and gas fees are waived through Dec. 31, and volume in this mode does not count toward the ongoing airdrop while fees are waived.
  • Aster plans a flexible pricing design after the promo period, including a fixed commission option or a PnL‑based model that charges only on profitable trades.
  • The release builds on mid‑2025 Hidden Orders and arrives as Aster posts high perpetuals volumes versus Hyperliquid, even as the ASTER token falls below key support with reports of large holder losses.
