Aster, a trading platform on the blockchain focused on performance and privacy and supported by YZi Labs, announced the launch of the Shield Mode feature. This new feature, integrated into Aster Perpetual, represents a secure trading option designed for high-leverage trading — up to 1001x — in a safer and more flexible blockchain environment.
Shield Mode represents a key milestone in Aster's mission to create the next generation of trading platforms on the blockchain, designed to serve experienced traders and address trading challenges in fully transparent blockchain markets.
"The Shield Mode reflects our belief that the future of intra-network trading is not just about leverage or speed, but also about control, freedom of action, and protection," said Leonard, CEO of Aster. "We are creating a trading platform that allows traders to achieve results at the highest level without being forced to broadcast their strategies to the market."
The evolution of intra-network trading: from 1001x to Shield Mode
The Aster 1001x product offers leverage up to 1001x, zero slippage, no commissions for opening trades, and fully intra-network settlements. As the infrastructure of intra-network trading has evolved, participants have become increasingly aware of the compromises associated with transparency, particularly the disclosure of trading strategies and intentions to a broader market.
In mid-2025, Aster introduced hidden orders on Aster Perpetual, allowing traders to hide the price and size of orders from the public order book while still accessing available liquidity. This update aimed to enhance freedom of action when trading in the intra-network environment. Shield Mode builds on this concept, presenting a more comprehensive secure trading mode that combines high performance with more reliable protection of trading intentions and a smoother, controlled trading process.
Shield Mode: a new trading mode in Aster
Shield Mode is a new trading mode built directly into Aster Perpetual, which consolidates all the 1001x trading experience into a single interface and accounting system.
The new mode simplifies the opening and management of long or short positions, eliminating the need to interact with the public order book, and provides seamless access to high-leverage trading without switching between blockchains, fragmented workflows, or frequent transaction signing on the blockchain.
The core features of the Aster 1001x trading model remain unchanged, including leverage up to 1001x for BTC and ETH, zero slippage, and no commissions for opening trades. Shield Mode further enhances efficiency by eliminating closing fees, completely waiving gas fees, and ensuring faster execution of trades. Collectively, these improvements set a new standard for cost-effective and high-performance perpetual trading on the blockchain.
Flexible fees designed for different trading styles
Shield Mode is designed to support a flexible fee model, providing traders the option to choose their trading payment method based on their strategy and preferences.
In future updates, traders will be able to choose between Commission Mode, a transparent fixed percentage commission per trade designed for stable and high-volume trading, and PnL Mode, a results-based model where fees are charged only on profitable trades.
In honor of the launch of Shield Mode, all Shield Mode fees will be waived until the end of the year.
This upcoming flexibility is designed to give traders greater control over trading costs and allow various trading styles to operate within commission structures that better fit their risk profiles and trading behavior.
Laying the foundation for the next stage of Aster's development
The Shield Mode reflects a broader vision for Aster, extending beyond a single trading function. By implementing a secure trading mode for blockchain markets, Aster provides traders with greater freedom of action and more reliable protection for their trading strategies.
By integrating 1001x trading capabilities directly into Aster Perpetual, Shield Mode further consolidates Aster's core trading functionalities into a unified system aimed at simplifying access to high leverage and position management.
Combined with commission-free trading and zero gas fees, Shield Mode sets a new standard for efficiency and performance in perpetual trading on the blockchain. With this launch, Aster introduces additional features aimed at supporting professional and high-performance trading in the constantly evolving landscape of blockchain finance.
