Important points
- Shield mode allows traders to open and close positions without a public order book and has zero slippage for the BTC and ETH pair.
- The launch promotion will waive all fees until December 31st, but volumes from sealed mode will not count toward Aster's airdrop program.
Aster has launched Sealed Mode, a private trading mode that offers gasless execution, zero slippage, and up to 1001x leverage. This feature hides orders from the public ledger and supports instant trading of BTC and ETH with no fees until December 31st.
Due to fee waivers, sealed mode transactions do not count toward the current airdrop. Astor said future updates will introduce flexible pricing models such as commission-based and profit sharing. This tool lays the foundation for Aster Chain's future privacy features.
