GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aster<\/a>, a privacy-focused trading ecosystem backed by YZi Labs, today announced<\/a> the o\ufb03cial launch of Aster Chain Mainnet. This purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain is designed to dismantle the “transparency trap” of modern DeFi, offering institutional-grade privacy and CEX-level performance to professional and retail traders worldwide.<\/p>\n

Ending the Era of Onchain Position Hunting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transparency is one of DeFi’s de\ufb01ning strengths \u2013 public ledgers, veri\ufb01able transactions, open protocols. But transparency between a protocol and its users is different from transparency between a trader and their competitors. When every order, position size, and liquidation level is visible to the market, that information can and does get used against you.<\/p>\n

Position hunting \u2013 where traders identify a large position, see its liquidation price, and coordinate to trigger a forced liquidation \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

Aster’s default privacy removes that attack surface entirely.<\/p>\n

The Aster Thesis: Privacy is a Fundamental Right<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Aster privacy stack utilizes a ZK-veri\ufb01able encrypted architecture:<\/p>\n
