The long-awaited Aster mainnet has just been officially announced as live. According to the disclosure, this L1 blockchain is specifically designed for derivatives trading, focusing on privacy + high performance, and supports 0 Gas fees. Unlike most blockchains, this one sets user accounts to privacy mode by default, ensuring that users' holdings and assets remain private. Each on-chain transaction uses a one-time stealth address. Currently, the blockchain supports cross-chain asset deposits from BNB, ETH, Arbitrum, and Solana chains. FYI: Aster is a derivatives DEX on the BNB chain and has been mentioned multiple times by Binance founder CZ.
