Aster Chain Official Launch: Defining a New Era of Privacy and Transparency in the Chain
The article was provided by Aster and does not represent a point of view by Wu。
Aster, supported by YZi Labs, a trading ecosystem focused on privacy protection, announced today that the Aster Chain main network is on line. The Layer 1 block chain, designed specifically for trading purposes, aims to break the “transparency trap” of modern de-centre finance by providing global professional and retail traders with institutional privacy protection and the effectiveness of a fair centralization exchange。
It's the end of the "snipers" era
Transparency is one of the core strengths of DeFi: open books, verifiable transactions, open agreements. However, transparency between “agreements and users” is distinct from transparency between “transactionors and competitors”. This information may be used against traders when each order, warehouse size and clearing price is made public。
Prosition hunting, the dealer's identification of a large warehouse and its settlement prices and collaboration to trigger a mandatory settlement, has cost traders millions of dollars on a fully transparent platform. The most famous case occurred in March 2025, when a trader opened a $375 million BTC 40-time bill on a fully transparent platform; other traders then quickly launched a public fund-raising campaign on Twitter (now X) to join forces to shoot the warehouse。
Aster's default privacy mechanism completely eliminated the attack。
Aster Core argument: Privacy is a fundamental right
Unlike existing schemes that treat privacy as an “optional function” or a “third-party containment layer”, Aster Chain embeds encryption technology directly into the executive layer. On Aster, privacy is the default option, not the privilege。
Aster House uses a zero-knowledge-verifiable encryption architecture:
• Zero knowledge to validate encryption + covert address mechanisms: every order is encrypted with zero knowledge prior to chaining; when account privacy is activated, the order ensures that there is no link between the user's wallet and the transaction, while preventing any third party from tracing, linking or reconstructing the transaction。
:: Selective disclosure: although asset transfers can still be traced, executive levels protect users ' strategic intent. Users who wish the event to be made public can choose open transaction information. When the privacy of the account is enabled, the user can generate Viewer Pass, which is shared with a specific party, and only the holder of the certificate can view its confidential order。
• Zero performance compromise: The Aster chain can achieve a peak of more than 100,000 TPS, with a median block time of 50 ms, without paying Gas – performance equal to the pace of a centralized exchange expected by traders。
“Transparency between agreements and users is a fundamental feature, but transparency between traders and competitors is a serious gap. Aster Chain is the only structure that sees privacy as a basic need for a fair market, and from the bottom of it has been the subject of predatory attacks.”
CEX SPEED MEETS THE DEX PRINCIPLE
Aster Chain offers the ultimate and highly leveraged experience of subsecond-level transactions, while maintaining the core principles of decentrization: self-cussion, certifiable and unlicensed access. The realization of trade privacy removes the last reason for users to remain on the centralized exchange. The network currently supports primary cross-chain connectivity to BNB Chain and secures high-precision price data through specialized prophecies。
Drives the next wave of innovation
The main online line marks the beginning of a phased expansion. In addition to the flagship Aster transaction interface, the ecosystem is inviting developers to passAster CodeCreation of specialized insurance banks and collaborative DeFi products。
