Aster launches Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading

Key Takeaways

• Shield Mode allows traders to open and close positions without a public order book, with zero slippage on BTC and ETH pairs.
• Launch promo waives all fees through December 31, but volume from Shield Mode doesn’t count toward Aster’s airdrop program.

Aster has launched Shield Mode, a private trading mode offering gasless execution, zero slippage, and up to 1001x leverage. The feature hides orders from public books and supports instant trades on BTC and ETH with no fees until December 31.

Shield Mode trades don’t count toward the current airdrop due to fee waivers. Aster said it will introduce flexible fee models, like commission-based or profit-sharing, in future updates. The tool lays the groundwork for upcoming privacy features on Aster Chain.
