Aster Chain is officially live, showcasing clear differences from Hyperliquid Chain. The former offers privacy protection for on-chain perpetual contract trading, while the latter emphasizes complete transparency. ASTER Chain has entered the Chain Genesis phase and is an L1 public chain specifically designed for derivatives. Its performance features include approximately 50ms block time, up to 100,000 TPS throughput, and zero gas fees. Cross-chain deposits are now supported, with sources including BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Solana. In terms of privacy mechanisms, accounts have protection enabled by default, with transactions settled on-chain but invisible externally. Additionally, public staking for ASTER holders will launch this week, and the team will announce a major partnership tomorrow.
