Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange endorsed by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, plans to launch Aster Chain’s mainnet in March, the team announced on X on Wednesday.
The rollout, part of the company’s 2026 roadmap, is designed to boost Aster’s infrastructure with a dedicated network for its on-chain products as well as tools for builders and integrated fiat on/offramps.
The layer 1 testnet went live in early February 2026 after initial whitelisted testing in late 2025, with over 50,000 participants. The upcoming mainnet launch will mark a shift from testing to full production after the project completed several testnet phases.
Aster plans to focus on community-driven upgrades to its decentralized exchange in 2026.
Key initiatives include governance features powered by the native token, staking and on-chain participation, and expanded access to real-world assets like stock perpetual markets, enhancing its synthetic trading offerings beyond crypto.
