Catenaa, Sunday, December 28, 2025- Aster, an on-chain trading platform supported by YZi Labs, has introduced Shield Mode, a protected trading feature offering up to 1001x leverage with enhanced discretion and control.
Shield Mode is integrated into Aster Perpetual, allowing traders to open long or short positions without exposing their orders to the public book.
The mode maintains the core benefits of Aster’s 1001x trading model, including zero slippage, no opening fees, and gas-free execution.
Closing fees are also eliminated, and trade execution speed is improved to optimize high-performance trading.
The platform previously launched Hidden Orders to conceal order size and price from the public order book, and Shield Mode builds on this by combining high-leverage performance with stronger strategy protection.
Traders will be able to select between flexible fee models in future updates, including a fixed Commission Mode and a performance-based PnL Mode.
All Shield Mode fees are waived until year-end to encourage adoption.
Aster’s launch of Shield Mode consolidates its trading features into a unified interface and account system, simplifying access to high-leverage trading while maintaining full on-chain settlement.
The feature is designed for professional and advanced users seeking performance, discretion, and efficiency within decentralized markets.
CEO Leonard emphasized the platform’s focus on control and privacy, positioning Shield Mode as a milestone in on-chain trading evolution.
