Aster officially launched its Layer 1 blockchain, Aster Chain, on March 17. The network is built for trading, featuring default privacy via ZK-verifiable encryption and stealth addresses to shield user activity. It claims over 100,000 TPS, 50ms block times, and zero gas fees, aiming to combine CEX speed with DEX principles like self-custody. What this means: This is a foundational bullish development for ASTER as it transitions from a DEX to a full-stack ecosystem, potentially attracting privacy-seeking institutional traders. The success of this upgrade now hinges on developer adoption and sustained network activity to validate its high-performance claims.
