Aster Chain Official Launch: Defining a New Era of Privacy and Transparency in the Chain

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 validates encryption + covert address mechanisms: each order is encrypted with zero knowledge before it is chained; 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, connecting or re-establishing the transaction。
• Selective disclosure: While asset transfers can still be tracked, executive levels protect users ' strategic intentions. 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 achieves a peak throughput of more than 100,000 TPS with 50 ms of medium block time and no payment for Gas - performance equals the pace of the centralization exchange that traders expect。

“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 trade interface, the ecosystem is inviting developers to create a dedicated vault and collaborative DeFi products through Aster Code。

As part of this release, Aster will launch the Aster Chain pledge scheme within a week to reward early supporters and liquidity providers。
