Welcome to ShieldDAO

What’s the Purpose of ShieldDAO (sDAO)?

Shield is a Decentralized community of blockchain product users, who vote, take decisions, delegate, index and curate blockchain assets. Shield is born of the Cover hack with the objective to improve security, prevent hacks, while protecting Community lnvestment and Protocol integrity. Shield is comprised of a group of synthetic yield farmers’ asset pairs built and tokenized on Ethereum. The goal of Shield is to provide decentralized, trustless, and non-KYC gated leveraged assets for providing Liquidity, Insurance, Staking, Governance, Lending and Borrowing. Shield assets do not require fund re-balancing or any form of debt. This system enables various unique benefits. Foremost, there is no need for an individual counterparty, which substantially reduces counterparty risk. Assets always retain 100% liquidity. Shield supports assets, commodities, or indices that have public decentralized oracles. All fees generated from asset purchasing and selling are distributed to Shield holders who stake tokens and to liquidity providers.
Shield is aimed at Improving Blockchain User Experience, securing data using The Graph Protocol and Creating Social Utility Products for ease of living.

The ShieldDAO Global Community

Shield runs on the Ethereum blockchain as a decentralized application designed by a diverse group of contributors, including developers within the Shield Group, its outside partners, other individuals and entities. Shield will be managed by a global community of its token holders via a system of scientific governance involving Executive Voting and Governance Polling. Shield holders govern the Protocol and its financial risks to ensure its stability, transparency, and efficiency. Shield is a decentralized, unbiased, Multi Asset-backed cryptocurrency. Shield will be held in cryptocurrency wallets or within platforms, and supported on Ethereum and other popular blockchains. Users Farm Shield by depositing assets into Vaults within the Shield Protocol. This is how Shield is entered into circulation and how users gain access to liquidity. Others can obtain Shield by buying it from brokers, exchanges, or simply by receiving it as a means of payment.
