Shade Protocol is an array of connected privacy-preserving DeFi applications built on Secret Network. These key applications are stablecoins, governance, bonds, staking derivatives, insurance, synthetics, lending, DEXs, and more. Using the power of the Secret Network’s tech stack via secret contracts, all of the key Shade Protocol DeFi applications inherit the properties of programmable privacy.

Shade Protocol exists to solve the following (but not limited to) core problems that exist within Web3 DeFi:

● Transparent DeFi applications

● Fractured application-layer ecosystems

● Confusing user experience across multiple primitives

● Sovereign-currency pegged stablecoins

● Governance scalability

● Overcollateralized model inefficiencies

● Stablecoin legal landscape

Shade Protocol Application and Beyond

$SHD and $SILK

Shade Protocol uses the power of viewing keys with both Shade ($SHD) and Silk ($SILK), the two primary tokens of Shade Protocol.

$SHD is the native governance token of the Shade Protocol. It serves as a treasury, utility, arbitrage, governance, and revenue share token of Shade Protocol. It is used for staking, governance proposals, liquidity providing, transactions, bonds, and more. As more applications are launched and connected to Shade Protocol, SHD will play an increasingly important role in the end-user experience.

$SILK is the privacy-preserving stablecoin of Shade Protocol. SILK is pegged to a basket of global currencies and commodities, including gold, Bitcoin, USD, Euro, Yen, and more. Silk inherits the SNIP20 token standard, meaning all transactions with Silk are private.

1$SHD = 1$SILK

About Shade Protocol and Silk

Shade Protocol is an ambitious array of application-layer products focused on a simple end-user experience that involves the incorporation of privacy by default. These interconnected privacy-preserving DeFi products built on Secret Network will change DeFi as we know it — empowering the next generation of value creation and exchange.

Silk is the first application of the Shade Protocol. Silk is Secret Networks native privacy-preserving stablecoin that will undergird all of the other Shade Protocol applications that are created.

About Citadel.one

Citadel.one is a non-custodial Proof-of-Stake platform for the management and storage of crypto assets. Users can create public addresses for all supported networks with one seed phrase, connect their Ledger or Trezor device, or import an address generated by another wallet.

The analytical dashboard provides relevant information on wallets’ balances and networks’ main metrics. In Citadel.one, we standardize the semantics, making interactions with the platform as easy as possible. The same goes for network metrics. By using universal terms, we are making it easier for users to understand and compare networks.

One of the main functions of the Citadel.one platform is participation in the PoS consensus — users can stake and delegate their assets, claim rewards, and follow the latest network proposals in the voting tab.

Citadel.one offers its users instant cryptocurrency exchange services that allow fast and secure crypto assets swap. It is also possible to buy and sell crypto with a credit or debit card. Citadel.one users can track rewards, withdrawals, transfers, and deposits across all supported networks and add comments to these transactions.

Among PoS platforms, Citadel.one supports BAND network ($BAND) Secret Network ($SCRT), Cosmos ($ATOM), ICON ($ICX), IOST ($IOST), KAVA ($KAVA), BSC and Tezos ($XTZ). We also support Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Tether ($USDT) for our users’ convenience. Mobile and desktop versions, new networks, including Polkadot are scheduled for the upcoming updates. Furthermore, delving into the idea of true decentralization, we envision Citadel.one a decentralized autonomous organization and a genuinely community-owned platform in the nearest future.
