Aster's edge in 3 lines:
50ms blocks, zero gas, CEX-level speed on their own chain built for derivatives
Native privacy (stealth addresses, hidden orders, Shield Mode) so whales don't get front-run
400+ assets: crypto + US/HK stocks + gold + commodities. Margin earns yield (USDF), high leverage, sub-accounts, grid bots. Plus OTC for institutions, Aster Card for payments, and trader vaults.
They're not just another perp DEX—they're building the full stack: trading + asset management + payments.
