Aster is a decentralized perpetual trading exchange (Perp DEX) that recently launched its native token, ASTER, on September 17, 2025. The project was formed through a strategic merger between Astherus, a multi-asset liquidity and yield protocol, and APX Finance, a decentralized perpetuals platform, finalized in late 2024.
Aster aims to deliver a decentralized trading experience with the usability of a centralized exchange, without sacrificing transparency or user custody. The platform combines spot and perpetual trading on one interface, supports multiple blockchain networks, and allows users to use yield-generating tokens like asBNB and USDF as collateral to boost capital efficiency.
To further enhance user safety, Aster incorporates MEV-resistant trading tools like Hidden Orders and Simple Mode. Looking ahead, the team plans to launch Aster Chain, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for derivatives trading focused on performance, privacy, and the use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to maintain verifiable, private on-chain activity.
Aster offers a seamless trading experience for users who want both spot and perpetual trading in a single DeFi platform. With MEV resistance, multi-chain support, and the ability to use yield-generating collateral, Aster stands out as a flexible and forward-looking protocol for serious traders and DeFi users alike.
