🎙️ Aster CEO Leonard joins us to break down the next evolution of on-chain trading — and why privacy may be the missing piece that finally moves serious traders from CEX to DEX.

Leonard shares his path from TradFi and Binance to building Aster, plus what the orderbook DEX wave gets right (and what still needs fixing).

✨ In this episode:
• Why “Perp DEX” is becoming “Orderbook DEX”
• How Aster is building a full-suite on-chain exchange (perps, spot, earn)
• The advantage of multi-collateral trading across chains
• “Rocket Launch” spot listings + trader airdrops
• Aster’s privacy-focused L1 coming in 2026
• Lessons from the 10/10 crash: uptime, transparency, and trust
• ADL explained — and why understanding risk matters
• What the future market structure looks like: oligopoly, not monopoly

💡 Featuring:
Leonard — CEO of Aster, decentralized trading platform for perps, spot, and earn.
