# What is Aster?
[Aster](https://www.asterdex.com/en) is a privacy-focused decentralized exchange, offering perpetual markets on crypto, stocks and commodities, and more commonly known as a perp DEX.
### **Why Aster?**
Most perp DEXs make a trade-off you don't see until it costs you. On fully transparent platforms, every order, position size, and liquidation level is visible to anyone watching the chain. That information has value to other market participants, and they use it. Position hunting – where traders coordinate to push the market against a visible liquidation – has cost traders hundreds of millions of dollars. It's not a bug in how these platforms are run. It's a consequence of how they're built.
Aster is built to remove that dynamic. Every order is encrypted before it reaches the chain, decrypted only at execution, and never exposed in the order book. Your position size, entry point, and liquidation level stay yours. Privacy is the default.
This runs on Aster Chain, our own L1 built for private perps trading: 100,000+ transactions per second, 50ms block latency. The performance serious traders expect from a centralised exchange, with the self-custody and verifiability that only a DEX can offer.
### **Explore Aster**
Aster offers four seamless trading types:
* [**Perpetuals**](https://www.asterdex.com/en/futures/v1/BTCUSDT): Perpetuals trading via an order book interface with deep liquidity, extremely low trading fees, and advanced trading tools.
* [**Shield Mode:**](https://www.asterdex.com/en/trade/shield/futures/BTCUSDT) A simplified, AMM-style trading interface with built-in order and position privacy – faster, easier, and more streamlined, with higher leverage and a lower barrier to entry. 
* [**1001x**:](https://www.asterdex.com/en/trade/1001x/futures/BTCUSD) Perp trading using onchain liquidity – one-click, MEV-resistant perp contract trading.
* [**Spot**](https://www.asterdex.com/en/spot/ASTERUSDT)**:** Spot trading via an order book interface with deep liquidity, extremely low trading fees, and advanced trading tools.
Aster also provides yield products under Aster Earn, including the BNB liquid staking derivative asBNB and the yield-bearing stablecoin, USDF.

#### **Three Foundational Engines: Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community**
At Aster, everything begins with one simple belief: great products define great experiences. Our development is driven by three Foundational Engines: Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community.
These three engines form a continuous cycle: technology creates value, value fuels collaboration, and collaboration drives innovation. Together, they illustrate how Aster is evolving from a trading platform into a foundational layer of decentralized finance – each engine guided by its own set of detailed execution priorities.
