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.
