Aster

Aster (ASTER) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that powers Aster DEX — a multichain hybrid exchange for spot and perpetual trading. Built with speed, privacy, and scalability in mind, Aster introduces new standards in DEX functionality through features like hidden orders, pro/simple modes, and multichain asset routing.

The platform supports trading with leverage (perpetual contracts) alongside standard spot markets. It provides users with a CEX-like experience while maintaining full self-custody and on-chain transparency. Aster also introduces its own evolving infrastructure called Aster Chain, aimed at optimizing execution and enabling advanced order types natively on-chain.

Key Features:

• Hidden Orders: Submit trades without publicly revealing size or direction.
• Perpetual Contracts: Trade with leverage, long or short, across major tokens.
• Multichain Liquidity: Access cross-chain assets via a unified interface.
• Dual Trading Interfaces: Switch between “Simple” and “Pro” modes depending on experience level.
• Custom Order Types: Includes stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stop, and more.
