Large transactions, striking stealthily. Aster's newly launched "Hidden Orders" feature allows traders to have ultimate privacy and control without exposing liquidity.
Exclusively invested by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), the next-generation decentralized perpetual contract exchange Aster, today officially announces an important upgrade feature on its professional trading platform Aster Pro: Hidden Orders.
This feature allows users to submit orders in a completely invisible manner when trading perpetual contracts, avoiding exposure of any trading intent. Thus, Aster becomes the world's first native DEX supporting hidden orders, once again leading the industry in DeFi innovation.
In Aster Pro, users choosing hidden orders will have their limit orders not displayed on the public order book with any price, quantity, or order information, but instead directly enter the main matching engine, only revealing after execution.
"In high-speed, high-confrontation contract trading, being seen is often a disadvantage." Aster CEO Leonard stated, "Hidden orders allow traders to achieve truly anonymous operations while ensuring privacy, fairness, and liquidity."
Why Do Decentralized Perpetual Trades Need Hidden Orders?
In cryptocurrency trading, the ability to complete large transactions without disturbing the market often determines whether a trader is a novice or a professional. Institutions and advanced traders generally rely on dark pools and hidden orders to hide intent and reduce slippage.
Recently, discussions among industry leaders have focused on a core contradiction in DEX infrastructure: while transparency builds trust, it also exposes large traders to various "hunting" tactics on real-time visible order books. This highlights an increasingly obvious need: decentralized perpetual markets urgently need a solution that balances privacy and market integrity, preventing front-running and trade exploitation without compromising market fairness.
In fact, in centralized exchanges, high-frequency or large traders have long relied on dark pools or iceberg orders to hide intent, but both have their flaws:
Dark Pools: Completely invisible and won't affect the main market, but due to using separate order books, they cause liquidity fragmentation and typically have lower execution rates.
Iceberg Orders: Seemingly anonymous and usable with main market liquidity, but still expose partial order quantity, making trading intent easily discoverable.
Hidden orders are precisely the unified solution born to address these issues:
🔒Complete Privacy: Orders remain fully invisible before execution, not leaking critical prices or intent
🕶Covert Execution: Reduce slippage in high-volatility markets, prevent front-running
🔄Integrated Liquidity: Directly integrated with main matching engine, not dispersing liquidity, maintaining tight spreads
⚡High-Speed Execution: Faster execution than iceberg orders, with no "ghost" traces
Born for Privacy, Designed for Advantage
Aster Pro's hidden orders feature is the industry's first native support on a decentralized perpetual contract trading platform. This is not just a product upgrade, but an attitude declaration: Aster leads the market with product innovation and shapes industry standards through practical efforts.
Through hidden orders, traders can:
Defend key prices without being detected
Quietly build or close large positions, avoiding front-running and hedging
Execute trades completely anonymously, while enjoying Aster's highly aggregated order book liquidity
In a market environment where "who exposes first, loses first", Aster helps traders control their own rhythm and destiny.
Redefining On-Chain Perpetual Trading Standards
This launch further consolidates Aster's position as a leading industry perp DEX: not only ranking globally in trading volume, but continuously breaking through and innovating in product experience, execution quality, and user-oriented design.
From launching convenient email login registration, to releasing privacy-protecting ZK Layer1 - Aster Chain Beta, and now hidden orders, Aster continuously focuses on users, constantly raising DeFi's ceiling.
While other platforms are busy imitating centralized tools, Aster is more concerned with how to establish genuine protection mechanisms for users:
Privacy: Achieving deep privacy protection through zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology
Fairness: Guaranteeing a just trading environment through anti-MEV architecture
Control: Mastering initiative through professional tools like hidden orders and native order books
We are not just building products, we are reshaping the possibilities of on-chain trading - fast, fair, private, powerful. Experience the hidden orders feature on Aster Pro now.
