Aster Chain Projects

Aster Chain launched its L1 mainnet on March 17, 2026, transitioning from a multi-chain perpetual DEX to a privacy-focused Layer 1 ecosystem. Backed by YZi Labs and CZ, the chain features ZK-verifiable encryption, stealth addresses, and zero gas fees. The ecosystem is in its early stages as protocols begin deploying on the L1.
