0:00This audio is presented by Hacker Nune, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Aster Chain Launch. Defining a new era for on-chain privacy and transparency. By Blockman PR and Marketing. George Town, BVI, March 18, 2026 Aster, a privacy-focused trading ecosystem backed by YZI Labs, today announced the official launch of Aster Chain Mainnet. This purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain is designed to dismantle the transparency trap of modern defy, offering institutional grade privacy and CEX-level performance to professional and retail traders worldwide. Ending the era of on-chain position hunting. Transparency is one of defy's defining strengths, public ledgers, verifiable transactions, open protocols. But transparency between a protocol and its users is different from transparency between a trader and their competitors. Whenever you order, position size, and liquidation level is visible to the market, that information can and does get used against you. Position hunting. Where traders identify a

1:03large position, see its liquidation price, and coordinate to trigger a forced liquidation, has cost traders millions of dollars on fully transparent platforms. Infamously, in March 2025, a trader opened a $375 million BTC-40X short on a fully transparent platform. Traders quickly began openly coordinating on Twitter to pool funds and hunt the position. Aster's default privacy removes that attack surface entirely. A the Aster thesis, privacy is a fundamental right, unlike existing solutions that treat privacy as an opt-in feature or a third-party wrapper, Aster Chain embeds encryption directly into the execution layer. On Aster, privacy is the default, not a privilege. The Aster Privacy Stack utilizes a ZK verifiable encrypted architecture. ZK verifiable encryption plus stealth address mechanism. Every order is ZK verifiable encrypted before it reaches the chain. With account privacy enabled, orders are routed through unique stealth addresses, ensuring no link between users while it

While Aster transfers remain traceable for compliance, the execution layer shields strategic intent. Users who want their activity visible can choose to make it public. With account privacy enabled, users can generate a viewer pass to share with selected parties, allowing only those with access to the pass to view their private orders. Zero performance trade-off. Aster Chain achieves peak throughput of 100,000 plus TP sand a median block time of 50 milliseconds, all without gas. Performance that matches the speed traders expect from a centralized exchange. Transparency between a protocol and its users is a fundamental feature, but transparency between a trader and their competitors is a critical vulnerability, said Leonard, CEO at Aster. Aster Chain is the only architecture that treats privacy as a fundamental requirement for a fair market, neutralizing predatory attacks at the base layer.
