Revolutionizing Decentralized Perpetual Trading with Hidden Orders
Aster, the next-generation decentralized perpetual contract exchange exclusively backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), has officially launched a major upgrade to its professional trading platform Aster Pro: Hidden Orders. This groundbreaking feature allows users to submit orders completely invisibly when trading perpetual contracts, preventing exposure of any trading intentions. With this innovation, Aster becomes the first native perpetual contract DEX supporting hidden orders, cementing its position at the forefront of DeFi innovation.
How Hidden Orders Work on Aster Pro
When users select the hidden order option in Aster Pro:
- Their limit orders won't display any price, quantity, or order information on public order books
- Orders go directly into the main matching engine
- Transaction details only become visible after execution
"Visibility often equals disadvantage in high-speed, highly competitive contract trading," explains Aster CEO Leonard. "Hidden orders enable traders to achieve truly anonymous operations while maintaining privacy, fairness, and liquidity."
The Critical Need for Hidden Orders in Decentralized Perpetual Trading
In cryptocurrency markets, the ability to execute large trades without alerting the market separates amateur traders from professionals. Institutional and advanced traders commonly rely on sophisticated execution strategies like dark pools and hidden orders to conceal intentions and reduce slippage.
Recent industry discussions highlight a core paradox in DEX infrastructure:
- Transparency builds trust but exposes large traders to predatory tactics on visible order books
- There's growing demand for solutions balancing privacy with market integrity
- Need to prevent front-running and trading exploitation without compromising fairness

Comparing Traditional Privacy Solutions
Traditional centralized exchanges offer two main privacy solutions, each with limitations:
| Solution | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Pools | Complete invisibility, no market impact | Fragmented liquidity, lower fill rates |
| Iceberg Orders | Partial anonymity with main market liquidity | Still exposes partial order quantities |
Hidden orders provide a superior unified solution:
- 🔒 Complete privacy: Orders remain fully invisible until execution
- 🕶 Stealth execution: Reduces slippage in volatile markets
- 🔄 Integrated liquidity: Maintains tight spreads without fragmentation
- ⚡ Faster execution: Quicker than iceberg orders with no traces
Privacy by Design, Advantage by Default
Aster Pro's hidden orders represent native support for privacy features on a decentralized perpetual contract platform. This isn't just a product upgrade—it's a statement of values. Aster leads through innovation, setting industry standards through practical solutions.
With hidden orders, traders can:
- Defend critical price levels undetected
- Build or unwind large positions stealthily
- Execute trades anonymously while accessing Aster's deep liquidity
In a market where "first to expose is first to lose," Aster helps traders control their own timing and destiny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes hidden orders different from iceberg orders?
Hidden orders remain completely invisible until execution, while iceberg orders reveal portions of the order quantity. Hidden orders also execute faster without leaving traces in the order book.
Can hidden orders impact market liquidity?
No. Aster's implementation integrates hidden orders directly with the main matching engine, maintaining liquidity without fragmentation. This preserves tight spreads while offering privacy.
Is there any disadvantage to using hidden orders?
The only potential "disadvantage" is that completely hidden orders don't contribute to visible market depth. However, Aster's implementation ensures they still benefit from and contribute to overall liquidity.
What chains support Aster Pro's hidden orders?
Currently supported on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum networks.
How does this compare to traditional dark pools?
Unlike dark pools that use separate order books, Aster's hidden orders integrate with the main matching engine, offering better execution quality while maintaining privacy.
Are there additional fees for hidden orders?
No, Aster applies the same fee structure regardless of order type. There are no premium charges for privacy features.
