Aster
Aster is among the largest perp DEXs by volume, formed from the merger of Astherus and APX Finance and backed by YZi Labs. It runs both a simple mode aimed at retail and a pro order book, and is known for very high leverage and a hidden-order feature intended to protect large traders from being targeted.

Mechanics
How it works
An off-chain matching engine settles on BNB Chain and several other networks, with USDT collateral. Funding intervals are set per market rather than venue-wide: majors such as BTC settle every eight hours while many alts settle hourly.
Risk
What to watch
Leverage up to 1001x is extreme and liquidations are correspondingly unforgiving. Reported volume on Aster has been widely questioned, and DefiLlama publishes no normalised volume figure for it, which is itself a signal worth weighing. Off-chain matching is operator-trusted.
