Aster, the decentralized perpetual exchange backed by Changpeng Zhao, is launching Aster Chain mainnet in March 2026.

This is not just another chain launch.

Itโ€™s a strategic move.

After a successful Layer 1 testnet with 50,000+ participants and multiple testing phases, Aster is now shifting from experimentation to full production mode.

Hereโ€™s what changes:

โ€ข A dedicated network built specifically for Asterโ€™s on-chain products

โ€ข Tools for builders to expand the ecosystem

โ€ข Integrated fiat on/offramps for smoother user access

โ€ข Governance powered by the native token

โ€ข Staking + on-chain participation

โ€ข Expansion into real-world asset perps like stock perpetual markets

Itโ€™s becoming a full infrastructure layer for synthetic trading.

Privacy-focused. Community-driven. Real-world asset expansion.

If execution matches ambition, Aster Chain could position itself as a serious player in the perpetual and synthetic markets space in 2026.

What do you think โ€” can dedicated app-specific L1s outperform general-purpose chains this cycle? ๐Ÿš€
